Fig. 4: Intended crops for agricultural use over large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) and their aggregate fossil energy footprint under low- and high-input agriculture scenarios.
From: Energy implications of the 21st century agrarian transition
a Area (Mha) of intended crops for the sample of 197 land deals intended for agricultural use with size greater than 200 hectares, obtained from the Land Matrix dataset36. b Aggregated fossil-fuel-based energy input (million GJ yr−1) for the intended crop area under low- and high-input agricultural scenarios. c Aggregated fossil energy intensity of low- and high-input agriculture over LSLAs. Energy inputs from oil palm and jatropha milling were not accounted for in this assessment. Source: Estimates based on data from Supplementary Table 1 and Land Matrix36). Note: one barrel of oil equivalent is equal to 6.1 GJ.
