International Crop Yields and Economic Productivity

The essential relationship between agricultural output, global population increase, and the long-term viability of the environment is explored here. This data acts as a crucial element in understanding human survival and responsible environmental management. It highlights the imperative to improve agricultural productivity to feed an expanding populace while reducing pressure on natural ecosystems, thereby mitigating issues like deforestation, soil degradation, and water scarcity. Elevating these yields is positioned as not only an economic necessity but a matter of social justice, offering a means of emancipating the marginalised from the burdens of hunger and deprivation. The pursuit of enhanced agricultural yields involves transformative solutions, ranging from genetic engineering to precision farming.

The dataset contains 4873 records, structured in a file named agriculture-value-added-per-worker-wdi new.csv. Data integrity is strong, with zero missing or mismatched values reported across the key fields. The visualisations related to this data were initially crafted using Loocker studio, Tableau, and Canva.

This product is ideal for studies investigating global food security challenges and poverty reduction efforts. It can be utilised by researchers examining the effectiveness of agricultural innovations, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or precision agriculture technologies underpinned by IoT sensors and analytics. Policy makers can leverage this data to develop strategies supporting sustainable intensification, which harnesses agroecological principles to reconcile productivity with ecological resilience through methods like agroforestry and cover cropping.

The dataset covers 187 distinct countries globally. The time range spans from 1991 to 2019. The availability of data is consistent across this period.
