Global maps of cropland extent and change show accelerated cropland expansion in the twenty-first century

P. Potapov, S. Turubanova, et al.

This groundbreaking study, conducted by Peter Potapov and colleagues, reveals significant changes in global cropland area using satellite data from 2003 to 2019. With a remarkable 9% increase in cropland area and a 25% rise in net primary production, the research highlights troubling trends in sustainability as natural vegetation gets replaced for agricultural expansion, particularly in Africa and South America.
