europe america, india, china…. understand?Jaromír MiškovskýFuq it matches where ((( diversity ))) occurs, they really want to wipe us out.Jan 20, 2019, 2:13 PMJohn JonesI understand that China is buying a lot of Australian farms. Staying ahead of the malthusian curve.

Arable land would be a better map.Jan 20, 2019, 2:14 PMNeil A. Bucklewyou said the population map was the only one that metters as well.Jan 20, 2019, 2:15 PMJim GingerichNo honorable mention for the Aussies?Jan 20, 2019, 2:15 PMVengefül Bobmoran”understand?”

Not really.

I’m unsure if this is to show that some regions are already near capacity, or that some regions are barely touched.Jan 20, 2019, 2:18 PMArthur Spido”Cultivation” refers to agriculture? If that’s so, then Brazil should be “cultivated” all over.Jan 20, 2019, 2:21 PMXavier WallaceCan you explain what this means in layman’s terms?Jan 20, 2019, 2:21 PMCurt Doolittleforgive my hyperbole pls. population vs arable landJan 20, 2019, 2:27 PMAndrew GribbleIt is important to remember that many former farms have been allowed to run fallow, as tech has made it possible to grow more per acre than what our great grandparents could even imagine.

So what soil IS being worked isn’t representative of what COULD be cultivated.Jan 20, 2019, 2:28 PMNeil A. Bucklewnothing to forgive. these are all very important.Jan 20, 2019, 2:28 PMDominic LeyvaCan you explain what this map means?Jan 20, 2019, 2:28 PMNeil A. Bucklewwhere food is so you do not die.Jan 20, 2019, 2:28 PMCurtus MaximusLooks like a map of all the productive people in the world.Jan 20, 2019, 2:30 PMDominic LeyvaMexico is represented awfully, their agriculture is really good and are top exportersJan 20, 2019, 2:30 PMDominic LeyvaI mean shit, Brazil is like #3/4 and they’re barely even colored inJan 20, 2019, 2:31 PMKeith HamburgerDon’t know that’s particularly accurate. And the granularity is extremely low.Jan 20, 2019, 2:37 PMJohann GöhmannWhat are they cultivating?Jan 20, 2019, 2:47 PMEric Myers100% cultivated means you can’t use the land for anything else. You don’t want every square inch to be farm, we need nature tooJan 20, 2019, 2:51 PMMatthew VölkischIs this only crops, or animals too?Jan 20, 2019, 3:05 PMBrian McQuistonThis can’t be accurate.*Nothing* on the Nile?Jan 20, 2019, 3:10 PMRichard HallRob Roberts Shut the borders immediatly! 😲Jan 20, 2019, 3:17 PMPhilip ChristopherJohn Jones I’d like to see arable/cultivation overlayJan 20, 2019, 3:24 PMNeil A. Bucklewthose areas are where that production is at. look at mexico. the part north of the green is barrens, mountains, desert. a terrain/climate map in comparison will make more sense.Jan 20, 2019, 3:28 PMDominic LeyvaLower Mexico isn’t desert thoughJan 20, 2019, 3:29 PMNeil A. Bucklewit is mostly forest. forested areas are not considered cultivated i think. though i do not know, if they included that in their description of what they considered cultivated.Jan 20, 2019, 3:31 PMMicah Pezdirtzcultivated agriculturally, i presume. potential vs actual cultivation, natural resource utilization?Jan 20, 2019, 3:31 PMStephen FlowersWhat about pastoral use of land, cattle raising, etc.?Jan 20, 2019, 3:34 PMCurt DoolittleJan 20, 2019, 3:59 PMCurt DoolittleCivilizations.

The actual soils maps (with erosion, yields, intensive use of nitrates, thickness of chernozem layer, potasium and so on) looks quite different.Jan 20, 2019, 4:17 PMThiago Modelborn Pereira-BerthoIs yellow non arable land? South America looks very wrongJan 20, 2019, 4:40 PMJames SantagataR-selects question: “Where’s the US located on this map? There’s no labels.”Jan 20, 2019, 5:34 PMBenjamin BakerCroikeyJan 20, 2019, 5:38 PMBenjamin BakerEric Myers wasn’t most of the Midwest open grazing land before and after European settlement?Jan 20, 2019, 5:40 PMEric MyersThe Midwest was a biologicallly diverse Prairie with perennial crops with roots several feet thick Now it’s fields of annual plants losing top soil.Jan 20, 2019, 6:06 PMEdmund BlackadderWhoever recolonizes Africa, winsJan 20, 2019, 7:48 PMPaul BardGreen seems to be where the food is grown by productive conscientious folk.Jan 20, 2019, 8:53 PMPaul BardAustralia was green and fertile before colonisation 40,000 years ago, and may be again with good strict land management.Jan 20, 2019, 8:56 PMJustin PtakI am going to say the west coast of the US is under-reported.Jan 20, 2019, 10:16 PMMartin HartwigAustralia, don’t forget us. 😉Jan 21, 2019, 3:42 AMRoketo Panchiican confirm massive amounts of farmland along the west coast between sf and laJan 21, 2019, 4:09 AMRoketo Panchiialso significant amount in norcal from wine countryJan 21, 2019, 4:10 AMNick HeywoodThe problem with Australia is the land is so old? There’s not a lot of quality soil left.

Compared to it’s size.

Compared to area’s such as Western Russia, North America and Europe etc. Well, anywhere else, really.

And for 1/4 of the year? It bakes! Most of land mass is experiencing 100+F at about 50 miles in the from the cost, all the way round this summer.

The middle needs water plumbed from the north and a damn good sprinkling of nitrogen!

Then? Oh boy! Look the F out!

But that’s dreamin’ 🙂

It’s still massively under utilised!Jan 21, 2019, 4:25 AMArno KælandWhich rivers and rainfall made then, today’s dry areas green?Jan 21, 2019, 4:27 AMPaul BardAaron Kahland Australia has a vast inland lake which is dry almost all year round and sustained a savannah ecology before humans came with a wide variety of now extinct large mammals. Almost all those mammals were wiped out by human arrival and the savannah ecology replaced by a semi-desert fire ecology.Jan 21, 2019, 5:08 AMArno KælandI wonder whether desalanation for the purpose of re-forestation / vegetation could lead to a renewal.Jan 21, 2019, 5:10 AMPaul BardJacob Smith that’s the Aussie guy who came up with the technique of slowing down water with native grasses.

The Israelis are really the leaders in desert regeneration, from the Kibbutzim movement to the large scale desert engineering.Jan 21, 2019, 5:11 AMPaul BardAaron Kahland desalinate soil or water?Jan 21, 2019, 5:12 AMArno KælandJacob Smith Oz has plenty of energy (Uranium).Jan 21, 2019, 5:12 AMArno KælandPaul Bard Water for the purpose of re-vegetation which in time could generate cloud/rainfall requiring less desalination.

I’m no expert in this field so my assumption might be completely off.Jan 21, 2019, 5:13 AMArno KælandJacob Smith Right, the difficult task is to understand how the natural environment once worked. I expect the two critical aspects are soil and water regeneration.Jan 21, 2019, 5:28 AMPaul BardNick Heywood we need a local form of Constitutional reinforcement to make land greening part of the national mission.Jan 21, 2019, 6:46 AMNick HeywoodNot sure about that?

But the greens need “ovening”.

That’d be a step in the right direction 😁Jan 21, 2019, 12:38 PMPaul BardNick Heywood I think especialliy in regard to cohabitation with black Aussies rehabilitation is a big part of our national Australian destinyJan 21, 2019, 3:53 PMEric GroseThese maps don’t include permaculture, a way to grow food anywhere. We got permaculture from Australia, one of the most arid landscapes. Yeoman (plow) and bill mollison.Jan 21, 2019, 10:11 PMEric GrosePaul Bard at polyface farm in Virginia they had to RAISE their fence posts because they created new soil through mob grazing techniques.Jan 21, 2019, 10:13 PMArno KælandThere are actually seas of fresh water far beneath the ground.Jan 22, 2019, 4:16 AMNeil A. Bucklewfood is also prime targets. dont forget that. a couple a burned feilds and a village dies.Jan 22, 2019, 5:38 PMNikola DzhilvidzhievI didn’t quite understand why you put such a focus on the importance of the American heartland and the Mississippi river valley until seeing this map. Food matters.Jan 22, 2019, 5:53 PMTHE ONLY GEOSTRATEGIC MAP THAT MATTERS
