California’s cropland biocapacity comprises 3 peecent of the total cropland biocapacity in the United States. This may be counter-intuitive to how we think of California-especially the agricultural sector of the economy. But biocapacity is Calculated from yields in tons of production, and from area. While the dollar value of goods produced in California is typically high (reflecting market prices), biocapacity is based on the physical weight of crops harvested, the area used to grow crop, and the intensity of each specific crop type harvested. In other words, biocapacity reflects biological productivity, not revenue.
