Agricultural Land Utilization Efficiency: The Case of Latvia

Abstract: Abstract-Agricultural land is critically important, but limited resource for production of agricultural goods. Therefore, it is essential to exploit agricultural land efficiently to provide the planet's growing population with food. We evaluated how efficient is utilization of the agricultural land in a northern country called Latvia. Based on statistical data at micro level, we evaluated inefficiently exploited areas that potentially might be available for the production of agricultural products. It is disco… Show more

“…The motivation for the proposed change in forest area designation in non-forestry utilization plans (such as agricultural land and settlements) is important to be supported by data from land evaluations conducted through land quality assessments and indicators of land characteristics in terms of physical, economic, social, and environmental aspects. The assessment results are used to predict land potential, while land selection is important for land-use suitability, because inappropriate land use will have implications for low production and inefficient resource use (Manna et al 2009;Pilvere et al 2014). In land-use planning, land suitability needs to be considered, it is also important to analyze land availability.…”

“…Improper land use requires high costs for repairs; especially when the degradation reaches an irreversible stage (Sudershan, 2003;Gupta & Sharma, 2010). Similar to non--renewable natural resources, rational land use is also an influential indicator of development (Chang & Wu, 2011) and economic growth (Pilvere, Nipers & Upite, 2014). The aforementioned is even related to the concept of sustainable development (Ak�nc�, Özalp & Turgut, 2013).…”

“…The still minimal use of land due to the decrease in soybean land area from year to year has an effect on the production of soybean produced. According to the research of Pilvere, et al,(2014) states that inappropriate land use will have implications for low production which will have an impact on inefficient use of land resources. One effort to increase soybean agricultural production output is to allocate planting in suitable land (Widiatmaka, et al,2016).…”
