• What the world grows: farmland and crops on one map

  

  The leading crop on every 10 km square of the world’s farmland, and sixty years of change in how much land we farm. Wheat, maize, rice and soya beans cover 50% of the harvest, and half of it grows on 6.4% of the world’s land.

• Where the animals are: the world’s cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens on one map

  

  35.3 billion farm animals for 8.1 billion people, mapped every 10 km. Chickens have multiplied 7.1 times since 1961, farm mammals outnumber people in 40 countries, and New Zealand has lost two thirds of its sheep.
