Meaningless colour drawing. What does soil performance *mean*?

According to this map the Burren in Ireland has high agricultural performance.

The west of Ireland famously does not have fertile soil. “To hell or to Connaught”

Damn the Green line separating Cyprus really is green.

Hey you know the soil in the Nordics can hear you right?

How come the scandinavian mountains are more fertile than the land below them?

One third of agricultural land in Ukraine is now wasted.

Finally a map the “all map visualizations are just population density visualizations” gang can’t claim for themselves!

And thats why ukraine is a world stage supplier of grain etc

Scandinavia is very low

And with one simple map there you have it. One of the reasons why Russia has always craved Ukraine territory amongst the many many others.

How can the Netherlands be so bad? Everywhere i read they are one of the biggest argicultural countries and they we are river delta which exhumes fertile grounds.

Doesn’t relate well to what I know about soil in croatia

The Scandinavian mountains should be an even redder red. Not yellow.

Jaén produces 20% of the entire worlds supply of olive oil and it’s like >90% yellow… I wonder what agricultural performance means here

Looks like Europe’s real power grid is its soil! 🌱 Amazing how the “green belt” lines up with some of the continent’s most productive regions.

So, soil can have medium performance even if it is under snow and ice for most of the year (e.g. the northernmost parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland)?

So why are places like tunesia and egypt red and yellow when they used to supply the entire roman empire? Did it change so much over the years?

I find the lack of green in Netherland hard to believe. That tiny country is the second largest agricultural exporter in the world. How? If not through excellent soil from all those rivers and polders?

And what does the Hungarian government do?
Build battery factories…

It is amazing how much of our land (Dutch) we insist on wasting on farming.
As if the vegetables out of anywhere else don’t taste better anyway.

How the hell Mesopotamia started agriculture with medium grade land while every other sucker in high grade land was trying to pick insects from each other’s hair to eat?

And this is why we had Vikings.

I find this kind of stuff very fascinating. The areas of high and medium fertility in Sweden correspond very well to the historical seats of powers of the Geats and the Swedes. And what used to be parts of Denmark in modern Sweden is also well outlined here. Even today, these areas are the most densely populated.
I also find it interesting how abruptly the west-swedish fertile plains end. In just a few minutes you can go from absurdly fertile farmland and lush leaf forests to incredibly poor quality soil with rocky, barren pine forests. Makes for fun bike rides!

The nile delta is famously very fertile, how can it have medium Performance.
Or the region between the euphratid and tigris rivers.
Makes me doubt the quality of this map a lot
Youre telling me the fucking nile has equally poor farmlands as northern norway?
Does this map seriously still have Jugoslawia and the GDR?
Is it current state due to depleted agricultural soil?
What does the light blue color mean ?
Damn, chill out Ukraine.
Interesting for Flanders and the Netherlands, famously known for being endless sights of fields.
Why does it rate Ireland so high when the land was famously crappy before the introduction of new world crops?
I dont think, the soil in all northern Russia and Scandinavia is Garbage, i just think, there is not enough data, to express the details.
Bulgaria all green
Are we gonna ignore the Yugoslavia
And then watch the Orbán regime [sell that high-performance land to battery companies](https://www.greenpeace.org/hungary/environmentally-speaking-what-is-wrong-with-battery-factories-appearing-in-hungary/) to build factories on.
Why is Denmark not as fertile?
