About the data
The figures come from FAOSTAT, the statistical database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, dataset “Crops and livestock products”. Countries report them to FAO; where a country did not report, FAO publishes its own estimate or imputation, which Husfarm marks on each page. Crop and livestock-product quantities are in tonnes, live animals in head (number of animals at the time of the count). Former states such as the USSR or Yugoslavia are not shown as separate countries; their successors appear from the year they first reported.
