How this figure is calculated

FAO projections of arable land divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

FAO projections of arable land ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

  • FAO projections of arable land Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
  • GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks

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.
