全球各国农业用地排行榜:中国30亿亩断层第一,美国24亿亩,澳大利亚21亩;用地≠实力,数据揭示全球粮食安全的底层逻辑

Ranked: The 50 Countries With the Most Agricultural Land

排名：全球农业用地面积最多的50个国家

Agricultural land spans more than 18 million square miles worldwide, forming the foundation of global food production.

全球农业用地总面积超过1800万平方英里（≈270亿亩），构成了全球粮食安全与生产的基石。

This graphic ranks the top 50 countries by agricultural land area, using the most recent FAO data compiled by the World Bank. China leads the world by a wide margin, followed by the United States and Australia.

本图表基于世界银行汇编的联合国粮农组织（FAO）最新数据，对全球农业用地面积前50的国家进行了排序。中国以显著优势领先，美国和澳大利亚紧随其后。

The ranking highlights where the world’s largest agricultural footprints are located, spanning major producers across Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

这一排名揭示了全球农业用地最广的地区，涵盖了亚洲、非洲和美洲的主要农业生产国。

Why China Has the World’s Most Agricultural Land

中国为何拥有全球最多的农业用地？

At 2 million square miles, China has more agricultural land than any other country worldwide. Roughly a fifth of the national population works in agriculture, and China today is the world’s largest producer and consumer of agricultural goods.

中国以200万平方英里（≈30亿亩）的农业用地面积冠绝全球。目前，中国约有五分之一的人口从事农业相关工作，是当今全球最大的农产品生产国和消费国。

China even has more agricultural land than larger countries like Russia (833,000 sq. mi) and Canada (220,000) owing to those countries’ vast frozen and tundra geographies.

由于俄罗斯（83.3万平方英里≈12.5亿亩））和加拿大（22万平方英里≈3.3亿亩）境内存在广袤的冻土带和苔原气候区，尽管两国国土总面积大于中国，但其实际农业用地面积远不及中国。

However, climate change is likely to change the landscape of global agriculture, as new northern regions become more hospitable for agriculture.

然而，随着气候变化导致北方高纬度地区变得更加适宜耕作，全球农业格局未来或将迎来重塑。

The Top Agricultural Players

全球农业核心参与者

The United States (1.6 million), Australia (1.4 million), and Brazil (914,000) round out the top five countries worldwide. Each of these countries specializes in different crops.

美国（160万平方英里≈ 24亿亩）、澳大利亚（140万平方英里≈ 21亿亩）及巴西（91.4万平方英里≈13.7亿亩）稳居全球前五。这些国家在作物种植方面各有侧重。

For example, the U.S. is the world’s largest producer of corn, while Brazil is the top grower of both soybeans and sugarcane.

例如，美国是全球最大的玉米生产国，而巴西则是全球最大的大豆和甘蔗的生产国。

Meanwhile, Australia has overcome its mostly arid geography to become a major wheat and cereals grower, rivaling major producers like India (689,000) and Ukraine (160,000).

尽管大部分地区气候干旱，但澳大利亚克服了自然条件的限制，成为全球重要的小麦和谷物产地，其产量足以与印度（68.9万平方英里≈ 10.3亿亩）及乌克兰（16万平方英里≈ 2.4亿亩）等农业大国相抗衡。

Africa’s Growing Desert Problem

非洲日益严峻的土地荒漠化挑战

African countries make up nearly half of the top 50 countries worldwide by square mileage of agricultural land area. They’re led by larger countries like Sudan (435,000), South Africa (372,000), and Nigeria (268,000).

在农业用地面积前50强的国家中，非洲国家占据了近半数席位。其中以苏丹（43.5万平方英里≈6.5亿亩）、南非（37.2万平方英里≈5.6亿亩）和尼日利亚（26.8万平方英里≈ 4.0亿亩）等领土大国为代表。

As with peers in Eurasia and the Americas, African agriculture is increasingly facing challenges from climate change.

与欧亚及美洲国家相同，非洲农业也正面临气变化候带来的重重挑战。

In particular, the growing desertification problem is reducing countries’ agricultural land, especially in the Sahel region, as temperatures rise and soil becomes less fertile for growing crops. Over-farming and over-grazing are exacerbating regional soil erosion and deepening desertification.

特别是日益严重的荒漠化问题，正导致各国农业用地不断萎缩，这一现象在萨赫勒地区尤为显著。随着气温升高，土壤肥力持续下降，不再适宜作物生长。此外，过度耕作与过度放牧进一步加剧了区域性水土流失，导致荒漠化程度持续加深。
