Citations in the corpus
- Green Revolution: Impacts, limits, and the path ahead (2012, background): “Analysis of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) finds similar trends to the partial productivity trends captured by yield per hectare [TFP is defined as the ratio of total output to total inputs in a production process (20)] (21).”
- Trends in Global Agricultural Land Use: Implications for Environmental Health and Food Security. (2018, background): “7 tonnes/ha from 1866 to 1935, but has since increased to ~10 tonnes/ha (168); similarly wheat yield in the UK remained around 2 tonnes/ha until the 1930s, but has increased since to ~8 tonnes/ha today (6).”
- Accounting for growth in global agriculture (2015, background): “From a series of studies compiled by Alston et al. (2010), it appears that the growth rate of agricultural TFP may have slowed in a number of developed countries (namely, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa and possibly the United States), lending further support to the productivity…”
- The Missing Food Problem: Trade, Agriculture, and International Productivity Differences (2015, methodology): “Trade flow data is from the BACI product-level trade database (Gaulier and Zignago, 2010), which classifies trade by harmonized system (HS) codes (2002 version).”
- 50 year trends in nitrogen use efficiency of world cropping systems: the relationship between yield and nitrogen input to cropland (2014, result): “The case of the USA, for example, is consistent with a slowdown in the increase of synthetic fertilizers inputs from the 1980s parallel to a moderate increase in the yields of the most important crops (Howarth et al 2002, Alston et al 2010).”
