Dataset Description
The World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI) is a compilation of relevant, high-quality, and internationally comparable statistics about global development.
The original dataset from WDI used in this calculation was "Land under cereal production (hectares)", which is defined by the World Bank/FAO as: "Land under cereal production refers to harvested area, although some countries report only sown or cultivated area. Cereals include wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded."
