UN-Bericht zu nachhaltiger Landwirtschaft, 14.9.2021 (engl. Originalfassung)
Agricultural support is not providing desirable results for sustainability and human health, but repurposing it can be a game changer. It offers governments an opportunity to optimize the use of scarce public resources to transform food systems in ways that make them not only more efficient, but also more supportive of the SDGs.
Globally, support to agricultural producers currently accounts for almost USD 540 billion
a year, or 15 percent of total agricultural production value. This support is heavily biased
towards measures that are distorting (thus leading to inefficiency), unequally distributed, and harmful for the environment and human health. Under a continuation of current trends, this support could reach almost USD 1.8 trillion in 2030.
Phasing out the most distorting and environmentally and socially harmful producer
support (i.e. price incentives and fiscal subsidies tied to the production of a specific commodity) is essential, but this will not bear fruit if resources are not redirected towards investments for the provision of public goods and services for agriculture (i.e. research and development and infrastructure) and to decoupled fiscal subsidies.
