Land is an important building block of civilization, and it is used and valued in many different and sometimes contradictory forms for our quality of life. Small-scale or resource-intensive property ownership has contributed to an increased inequality among the rest of the population. We have reached this point in the world’s history where we must find ways to come to terms with, and develop new management strategies for, the discrepancies.

The demands on global land resources are increasing at an unprecedented pace. A growing population, accompanied by greater consumption, is using up our land’s natural resources faster than ever before. The development of competing land uses results in increased competition for resources. increasing competition exists between goods and services that benefit people, like food, and the desire to protect environmental services that regulate and support all life on Earth All services depend on terrestrial biodiversity.

Forests, grasslands, prairies, and wildernesses have generally made up most of the Earth’s landscapes since humans first emerged. Over the last few centuries, this has significantly: undeveloped wilderness has been ploughed under by agriculture. It’s estimated that about half of the world’s habitable land is being used for agriculture. Of the entire world, the land area is 13.03 billion hectares. Classification of 4,889 million hectares is established by the FAO (this is 37.6 percent of the Land Area). The global agricultural land is distributed into three categories: arable land (28%), permanent crops (3%) and permanent pastures (69%) making up most of the area, and other permanent land (1%).

Also, a high disparity between land use for livestock and for human consumption. Using pastures to graze livestock with other than to grow crops accounts for 77% of the world farming space. livestock occupies 98 percent of agricultural land, yet only contributes 18 percent of the world’s total calories and 37 percent of total protein.

Agriculture takes up a large portion of land in a country It ranges from less than ten percent, except for African and Scandinavian countries (including the UK, Uruguay, South Africa, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia). It’s worth bearing in mind that this includes both croplands used for agriculture and pasture land, even in dry and semi-arid areas. Let’s look at this cropland and pasture difference in more detail in the following section.

Global population has more than doubled over the last 50 years. To meet the demands of a rapidly growing population on a planet with finite land resources, reducing our per capita land footprint is essential.
