Annual amount of agricultural resources used to produce Total Food Demand, by Healthy Eating Index-2015 quintile: a) agricultural land, b) fertilizer nutrients, c) pesticides, and d) irrigation water.

Agricultural land includes, grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, sweeteners, feed grains and oilseeds, hay, permanent pasture, and cropland pasture.
