Of the total area that is used by humans (Agriculture, Urban and Built-up Land),

  • urban and built-up land is 1m km²,
  • agriculture is 48m km²,

so agriculture is 48 of 49 millions km² used, that’s 98%. The remaining 2% are all streets and housing and other infrastructure together.

    What fucking data do you think exists that changes this message. Seriously, even if it is off by a ridiculous factor, it still doesn’t change anything. You’re looking for any excuse.

      Well, there could be way more sheep and goats than we think there is (since they include textiles in the livestock category).
