Farmland

Agricultural land as a share of the land area, and arable land per person.

Agricultural land is the share of a country's land under crops, meadows and pastures. Arable land is the part under temporary crops, such as grain, and the amount per person says how much farmland each inhabitant has: less than a tenth of a hectare in Japan, more than a hectare in Canada. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) compiles both, and the World Bank republishes them.
