In particular it defines a number of services such as agriculture, forestry, industry, transport, housing and other services  that use land as a natural and/or an economic resource. Land use has to be distinguished from Land Cover  which refers instead to to the bio-physical coverage of land (for example, crops, grass, broad-leaved forest, or built-up area). The FAOSTAT Land Use domain includes categories of land primarily focusing on their use for agricultural and forestry activities.

Official information may be complemented with statistics from national statistical yearbooks and other official publications and information from governmental data portals. Supplemental information may be derived from national and international sectoral studies and reports.  Forest land data The Global Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) is the supplementary source of Forest land data disseminated in FAOSTAT. FRA data cover 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. Gap filling for deriving a complete time series 1990–2015 was performed as follows. Intermediate years were estimated using linear interpolation performed by the FAO Statistics Division. Missing data at the beginning or at the end of the time series were imputed by maintaining the value of the nearest FRA data. FRA data on Carbon density and area were first imputed in the same manner described above for deriving a complete time series 1990–2015, and then multiplied (stock density times area) to obtain carbon stock. Regional average values of carbon density were used in case of missing national data. Data for the element “Carbon stock in living biomass” are available only for the item “Forest land”. Data for the element “Area” are available for the item “Forest land”, “Forestry” and for the three subcategory items “Planted forest”, “Primary forest” and “Other naturally regenerated forest”. 2016 Forest land data (for both elements, “Area” and “Carbon stock in living biomass”) were calculated by linear extrapolation of the data range 2010-2015. Irrigated land Data on “Land area equipped for irrigation” disseminated through FAO's global water information system (AQUASTAT) and FAOSTAT are regularly reconciled for coherency. Organic agriculture Data from the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) are used on a regular basis as secondary sources to complement primary data on “Area certified organic” and “Area in conversion to certified organic” items.""}",2020-02-14 03:20:46,2020-02-14 03:20:46,5051,"Land use indicates the socioeconomic use of land (for example, agriculture, forestry, recreation or residential use).
