Extract: Technological change will be essential in increasing crop production to meet the future world food needs because the world's population is increasing at a much faster rate than is the increase in usable agricultural land. Although only about half of the world's estimated 3 billion hectares of arable land is currently used for crop production, the remainder is generally believed to be only marginally productive. Cropland area has actually decreased in some regions of the world. This study measures agricultural land availability and trends and provides specific land constraints to world food production projections.

Farmland tenure shapes many farm decisions, including those related to production, conservation, and succession planning. The relatively advanced age of many farmers raises questions abut land ownership, especially how land will be transferred to the next generation of agricultural landowners and operators. This study provides a descriptive baseline analysis of land ownership and then focuses on more detailed aspects of land tenure, including non-operator landlords, rental agreements, the acquisition and transfer of land, and how decisionmaking is shared by landlords and their tenants. The report is designed to support broad discussions related to agricultural land ownership and to provide a starting point for more detailed statistical analysis. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Population and income growth determine increasing demand for agricultural products, especially food products; and agricultural production requires land. This paper analyses historical trends in growth of agricultural production (total and per capita, at world level and for major regions) during the half century since 1961 to 2011, and the relative contributions to such growth coming from additional land and from increased land productivity, and summarises the latest studies on availability of extra suitable land. World production has been growing steadily ahead of population, causing a rising tendency in agricultural and food output per capita; such growth has been achieved with very little addition of extra land; land use for agriculture peaked around 1990 and has been stagnant or declining since; extra land contributed just about 5% of agricultural output growth from 1961 to 2011, and almost nothing in the latest decades. On the other hand, land suitable for rain-fed crop production that is not forested, not built-up, not otherwise protected, and not yet cropped, is quite abundant. However, projections of future agricultural growth, even under very conservative hypotheses, do not envisage much increase in the use of extra land. Available estimates show that agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is the dominant factor in agricultural growth, and that growth of agricultural TFP is accelerating. The world produces more than enough food relative to the needs of the world's population (though unequal access persists), and is very far from running out of land to sustain agricultural growth in the future, even assuming less progress in productivity in the coming decades.

"This bulletin is designed to point out and describe briefly the land in the United States available for settlement, and to tell the prospective settler something about the conditions he may expect to meet, the types of farming prevailing in the different districts, and the agencies to which he may apply for information. It is not the intention to undertake to guide or to direct the choice of a particular farm, but to supply the settler with initial information concerning the region in which he would like to establish a farm home." -- p. ii

This report presents an analysis of our land resources, together with statistics on land used for crops and pastures and additional areas available for such use. In addition to facts relating to the extent, location, and productivity of the land used for agricultural, quantitative data on land use capabilities by regions, and information on trends in land use and possibilities for development of cropland are presented.
