How this figure is calculated

Agricultural land use divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Agricultural land use ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

Agricultural land use Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

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.
