Navin Ramunkutty, probably our most blogged-about personality, has just come out with another useful dataset on cropped land across the entire globe. The methodology is outlined in a paper in Global Biogeochemical Cycles, and the data (10km resolution unfortunately) is also made available online. Global estimates are that 12% of ice-free land is cropland, and a further 22% is being used as pastures.
