Sure, but that's probably not an easy index to compile. Different crops will yield different volume or weight per acre.

You can do it by calorie.

Different crops, different calorie by area too.

That wouldn’t really work. An acre of rice has something like 4 times the calories of an acre of wheat.

Yeah but that would be an interesting comparison, it would show an improvement in the effectiveness of land use
