Land Resources And Agriculture
Describe the significance of agricultural land in rural areas.
The significance :
(i) Agriculture is a purely land based activity unlike secondary and tertiary activities. In other words, contribution of land in agricultural output is more compared to its contribution in the outputs in the other sectors. Thus, lack of access to land is directly correlated with incidence of poverty in rural areas.
(ii)Quality of land has a direct bearing on the productivity of agriculture, which is not true for other activities.
(iii)In rural areas, aside from its value as a productive factor, land ownership has a social value and serves as a security for credit, natural hazards or life contingencies, and also adds to the social status.
