Description

more_agriculture.taq demonstrates numerical analysis of data. The ‘more_agriculture’ query produces a list of countries which have increased the area under agriculture by more than 1% over the twenty years between 1990 and 2010.

The query is performed in 2 stages. The first stage filters countries which meet the surface area increase criteria. This stage is chained to the second stage which converts the percentage increase to surface area.

Note the final surface area is automatically converted from a double value to an integer to make the presentation of the results more readable than if fractions are included.
