Knowra Agricultural productivity Agricultural productivity Agricultural productivity measures agricultural output relative to inputs such as land, labor, and capital. It can be measured per input or across several inputs together.
Total factor productivity : The portion of output growth not explained by measured increases in labor, land, or capital. It captures efficiency gains that raise agricultural output without proportional input growth.
Crop yield : The quantity of a crop harvested per unit of land or other specified measure. Yield per hectare is a widely used measure of land productivity for individual crops.
Agricultural output : The goods and services produced by agricultural activities, including crops and livestock. Productivity calculations use agricultural output as their numerator.
Agricultural productivity growth : An increase over time in agricultural output relative to the inputs used to produce it. Its pace determines whether farms generate more output from their resources over time.
Partial factor productivity : Output divided by one selected input, such as labor, land, or fertilizer. It isolates a single input, unlike measures that account for several inputs together.
Agricultural intensification : Increasing agricultural output per unit of land through greater use of labor, inputs, or technology. It raises land productivity by applying more resources or improved methods to a given area.
Labor productivity : Output produced per unit of labor, often measured per worker or labor hour. It shows how much agricultural output farms obtain from their workforce.
Agricultural inputs : Resources used in agricultural production, including land, labor, capital, and intermediate goods. Productivity depends on which inputs are included and how they are measured.
Induced innovation : Technological change steered by the relative scarcity and cost of production inputs. Rising land or labor costs can encourage innovations that conserve the scarce input.
Multifactor productivity : Output relative to a combined set of measured inputs, with terminology varying across statistical systems. It is a broader efficiency measure, though its scope may differ from total factor productivity.
