How this figure is calculated
FAO projections of arable land divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
FAO projections of arable land ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- FAO projections of arable land Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
