Arable density (m² per capita) by country. This is a list of countries ordered by physiological density."Arable land" is defined by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, the source of "Arable land (hectares per person)" as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land ...
In agriculture, the yield is a measurement of the amount of a crop grown, or product such as wool, meat or milk produced, per unit area of land. The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Cereal yield in tons per hectare and kilograms of nitrogenous fertilizer applied per hectare of cropland.
This article includes the table with land use statistics by country.Countries are ranked by their total cultivated land area, which is the sum of the total arable land area and total area of permanent crops.
Human activity is the most significant cause of land cover change, and humans are also directly impacted by the environmental consequences of these changes. [9] For example, deforestation (the systematic and permanent conversion of previously forested land for other uses) has historically been a primary facilitator of land use and land cover ...
The soil bulk density of cultivated loam is about 1.1 to 1.4 g/cm 3 (for comparison water is 1.0 g/cm 3). [48] Contrary to particle density, soil bulk density is highly variable for a given soil, with a strong causal relationship with soil biological activity and management strategies. [49]
A United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization study conducted in 2009 [48] said that food production would have to increase by 70% over the next 40 years, and food production in the developing world would need to double [49] to feed a projected population increase from 7.8 billion to 9.1 billion in 2050.
Intensive agriculture, also known as intensive farming (as opposed to extensive farming), conventional, or industrial agriculture, is a type of agriculture, both of crop plants and of animals, with higher levels of input and output per unit of agricultural land area.
A density-equalising map of organic agriculture in Australia based on certified organic hectares. Australia accounts for more than half of the world's certified organic hectares. [63] As of 2021, $2.3 billion worth of commodities were produced in Australia by the organic agriculture sector, representing approximately 3% of agricultural output. [64]
