Agricultural land occupies a staggering five billion hectares worldwide, which accounts for nearly 40% of the entire planet’s land surface area. Around a third of it is used for growing crops while the rest consists of pastures for grazing livestock like cattle.
That leaves precious little untouched land for truly pristine ecosystems, yet there is a way we can increase the rate of natural habitats: by making farming practices as high-yield as possible. That way relatively small areas should suffice for growing crops, which would leave more land preserved as natural habitats.
