Are We Running Out of Land?
• Some people contend that because of increase in non agricultural uses of land, we are running out of good farmland.
• The Facts do not support this conclusion.
• Even though the number of acres is increasing- the productivity of land in increasing faster than the acres are decreasing.

Efficiency of Production Agriculture
Today’s farmer produces enough to feed more than 150 people
90% of the food in the US is made by the American farmer
Per capita has increased 47% from 1970-1997
![Page 12: TIFFANY CICHON ROSHOLT AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Size and Importance of Agriculture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e545503460f94b4b0ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why is Efficiency so Important
Efficiency of production agriculture releases manpower for other work and for increasing industrialization.
Greater industrialization leads to a healthier economy

Events Shaping the Global Ag Market
• European Community of its Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)– Changed the EC from a 20 million ton/year importer– To 20 million ton/year exporter
• Collapse of many of the Socialist economists– At 1 time the Soviet Union (USSR) and the People’s
Republic of China were importing 40-50 million tons of grain annually and now are exporters
• Other countries taking over 80 million tons of grain imports
