The development potential - available land per capita, in land use class

Year: 2008 Author: Hugo Ahlenius, UNEP/GRID-Arendal
Description:
The amount of land area available per capita provides a rough measure on the current carrying capacity for food security and for the development of additional agricultural products for export – such as biofuels. The calculation presented in this figure show that most of Asia is very limited in this respect, especially since populations are expected to increase. Latin America and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa show more potential for the development of biofuels for export.
