Land and water
Agricultural land
Where it comes from, what share of an industry’s output it is, and which wars the model links to it.
This page shows production, shares and inputs. It does not show a death toll per tonne. The shares below say what part of an industry’s output this material is, and what part of a war’s harm the model links to it. Multiplying either by a number of people gives a result, and no result is published until it comes from a recorded calculation, with a range and a confidence grade.

The products it reaches
Each product whose list of materials contains Agricultural land, with its deaths per item by the materials method and the part of that figure this material accounts for.
Scenario Economic-embedded, using FIGARO 2023.
In this calculation, no product’s figure reaches it.
Deaths per tonne produced are calculated for this material too, but not shown: that figure has no range yet.
Who produces it
The publisher’s own figures for 2024, across 210 countries. Nothing here has been linked to anything yet.

Harm per tonne and per euro
Harm per tonne and harm per euro are both calculated. Neither is shown yet.
Harm per tonne cannot be worked out for this material. It is measured in hectares — something held or built rather than an amount produced each year. That is recorded as undefined, not as zero.
Both are numbers of people divided by an amount, from a calculation that has no range and has not passed the test on past years yet, and nothing of that kind is published until it has. What this page can say now is whether each can be worked out, and on what basis.
