Service Description:
Agriculture
Generations of farmers have been good stewards of land and wildlife while also providing food for people and livestock. However, some agricultural practices, like overuse of pesticides, can reduce the availability of food, clean water, and safe places for birds to feed, rest, and breed. And, the conversion of natural vegetation, such as native prairies or tropical forest, to agriculture has reduced the areas once used by birds. By working with farmers, we can identify ways that bird-friendly farming can provide solutions for people and birds.

Processing
We mapped the current extent of agriculture by identifying all 3-km cells containing cropland in 2022. Urban areas and areas north of the Arctic Circle (66.6 N) were removed.

Most Relevant IUCN - CMP Unified Direct Threat Classification
2.1.2. Agricultural mowing and harvesting
2.1.3. Agriculture expansion
