Agricultural density

Agricultural density

Agricultural density is a measure of the number of farmers or agricultural workers per unit of arable land in a given area. It is calculated by dividing the number of agricultural workers by the total amount of arable land in a specific area, typically expressed in people per square kilometer or per square mile.




Agricultural density is an important demographic indicator that reflects the level of development of a country’s agricultural sector. It is often used in conjunction with other demographic and economic indicators to provide a more comprehensive picture of a country’s overall development.

High agricultural density can be an indication of overpopulation in rural areas and a lack of technological advancement in agriculture. On the other hand, low agricultural density may indicate that agriculture is not a major contributor to a country’s economy or that the country has adopted advanced agricultural techniques and technologies.
