farm productivity
Crop efficiency measure
Farm productivity is a measure of agricultural output relative to inputs—how much crop or livestock a farm produces per acre, per worker, or per dollar invested.
Higher productivity means more food from the same resources.
The new irrigation system doubled farm productivity.
Discussions of farm productivity often involve technology, soil quality, and labor efficiency.
