Resumen
Descripción
Land use statistics describe the ways in which land is utilized and managed by humans and allocated for different purposes, including through administrative arrangements. FAO collects annual land use data from countries via a standard Land Use, Irrigation and Agricultural Practices questionnaire, covering the full land use matrix in countries using international definitions first developed by the World Census of Agriculture. The resulting Land Use statistics and indicators are disseminated annually in FAOSTAT and complemented by land cover statistics independently compiled by FAO from available land cover maps.
This analytical brief reports the main results and changes over time in land statistics and indicators with details at global, regional and country level during the past two decades (2000–2021), with a focus on agriculture.
