What has driven the growth in global agricultural production?

Global agricultural growth is measured by the average annual change in economic output from agriculture. This is broken down by its drivers in each decade. Productivity growth measures increase output from a given amount of input: it's driven by factors such as efficiency gains, better seed varieties, land reforms, and better management practices.
