Gini index for income concentration in food production

Level StateAnnual

Definition

The Gini Index is a measure of unequal income distribution. This indicator only considers the income of workers in the agricultural, livestock, fishing, and forestry sectors. Values ​​closer to one indicate inequality in income distribution among individuals involved in food production.

Interpretation

Higher values ​​for this indicator point to an unequal distribution of income in food production and, consequently, to less sustainability of the economic aspect of the food system.
