Here is a very quick way to visualize the growth of global agricultural GDP from 2000 to 2020.
We’ll use the ggplot2 library to generate a professional-looking chart with a clean and modern aesthetic.
# Create a data frame
data <- data.frame( Year = seq(2000, 2020, by = 1), GDP = c(3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.3) )
# Load necessary libraries
library(ggplot2)
library(scales)
ggplot(data, aes(x = Year, y = GDP)) +
geom_line(color = "darkgreen", size = 1) +
geom_point(color = "darkgreen", size = 3) +
geom_area(fill = "lightgreen", alpha = 0.5) +
scale_y_continuous(labels = percent_format(scale = 1), limits = c(3.0, 4.4), breaks = seq(3.0, 4.4, by = 0.2)) +
labs(title = "Agriculture Global GDP", subtitle = "(Gross Domestic Product)", x = NULL, y = NULL) +
theme_minimal() +
theme(
plot.title = element_text(size = 20, face = "bold"),
plot.subtitle = element_text(size = 12, face = "italic"),
axis.text = element_text(size = 12),
panel.grid.major = element_line(color = "grey80"),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank()
) +
annotate("text", x = 2000, y = 3.4, label = "3.4%", vjust = -1, color = "darkgreen", size = 5, fontface = "bold", fill = "darkgreen", bg.color = "white") +
annotate("text", x = 2020, y = 4.3, label = "4.3%", vjust = -1, color = "darkgreen", size = 5, fontface = "bold", fill = "darkgreen", bg.color = "white")
As we can see, in 2000, the agriculture sector made up 3.4%
of the world’s GDP. This means that out of all the goods and services
produced globally, 3.4% came from agriculture.
Over the next 20 years, the role of agriculture in the global economy grew steadily.
By 2020, agriculture’s contribution had risen to 4.3%. This indicates a positive trend and suggests that agriculture became more important to the global economy during this period.
The data suggests that agriculture remains a vital part of the global economy and continues to grow in importance.
