I don't know how to reconcile that with this other chart which shows agricultural land went from 4.81 billion ha in 2000 to 4.83 billion ha in 2023. Per capita

I don't know how to reconcile that with this other chart which shows agricultural land went from 4.81 billion ha in 2000 to 4.83 billion ha in 2023.
Per capita it's still a decline. Personally I would attribute it to increasing yields in the developing world which are due to modern practices, pesticides, and fertilizers. But it doesn't show a decline like in the chart you posted.
