The approximate number of people killed by zoonoses — diseases that originated in animals — each year.
$11.63 Billion USD
The value of Fair Trade certified products sold in 2018. This represents over tenfold growth since 2004, but still makes up less than 1% of overall international trade.
74 Billion
The approximate number of land animals killed for food each year. This number could rise well into the trillions if the edible insect industry takes off.
