Has the World Passed “Peak Agricultural Land”

 Big news and it's good news for nature lovers here:

Has the world passed “peak agricultural land”?


Even if we are not past it we are will soon. Worldwide per acre yields have been growing faster than world population for a long time now (maybe 30 years). And since the per acre yields are still multiple times higher in the developed countries there is still plenty of room for improvement even with much improvement via plant breeding and technology.

Of course as hunger becomes less of a problem obesity becomes more but that is a less bad problem to have.
