How to read it

Series and transformations

Pressure is population; response is cereal output per hectare. Both indexed to 1961 = 100, the first year of the yield series.

Numbers in the takeaway

  • 265.8 index (1961 = 100): Population (pressure), 2024, observation 137383, 137446
  • 278.2 index (1961 = 100): Cereal yield (response), 2024, observation 2945, 3008
