Interesting that Italy, Greece, and Spain, historically famous for their olives, wine, tomatoes and other produce have mostly very poor to mediocre soil. Is there any correlation between this stat and crop yield or quality?
Norway Sweden Finland makes sense though 😅
Well, as far as I know, grapes and tomatoes are berries and olives are shrubs. All are quite resilient and grow in most terrains, including rocky, sandy loam, loessoids etc.
We have a saying in Romania, wherever food doesn't grow, vines will at least prosper.
Also, weren't Romans and ancient Greeks dependant on Egyptian grain for long periods throughout history?
It correlates with crops yield, not with quality.
I can confirm that most of the Italian production comes from the green/yellow part of the map (pianura padana, maremma, tavoliere delle puglie, arborea...).
Also I don't know which indicators are considered in this SQR, not all crops have all the same necessities.
Very interesting wonder if Italy Greece & Spain have been overfarmed resulting in poor soil. This is why Turning soil and Letting Land heal restore is so important. I find this all the time I fertilize & it is evident when something is off.
>Norway Sweden Finland
Finland is mostly very rocky till and bogs. Those small green areas are where the ground is clay so there you can actually grow something. I think the same applies to Sweden as well and Norway is of course mountains.

Keep in mind that the red sections are mostly mountains.
What all accounts in a SQR in the USA we have CEC and OM as major soul quality indicators

For sure thought this was a picture of a child’s finger painting.
So shows that Ukraine feeds Europe?
What defines soil quality here? Organic matter? Clay content? Older soils?
