Formula
Total degraded or abandoned land used for biofuel feedstock production = Σ area of qualifying land used for biofuel feedstock production.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The extracted AF.A1.0 specification identifies a standalone reportable area outcome, states the unit as square kilometres, defines the feedstock-production boundary, and requires timing or baseline context. It is not equivalent to generic total land use or land-use change because its population is limited to degraded or abandoned land used for biofuel feedstock production.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
A_i | Qualifying land area | Area of each land parcel classified as degraded or abandoned and used for biofuel feedstock production. | km² |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Disclose when the land was converted or the baseline year used for measurement.
- Identify the biofuel feedstock production associated with the reported land area.
- State the basis used to classify land as degraded or abandoned.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric identifies degraded or abandoned land used for feedstock production but does not, in the extracted evidence, define a universal classification method for degraded or abandoned land.
- Area comparability depends on disclosure of the conversion date or baseline year used for measurement.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
