Population Growth Drives Need for More Farm Land
Agriculture statisticians estimate that 76 million acres of new cropland are needed to feed a growing population. They project 8 million irrigated acres and 21 million by drainage plus 47 million more by converting woods and grasses, with the West as the likely source of development. Current cropland available for cultivation is about 390 million acres of the 426 million needed for a normal diet, and 142 million people require expanded land to sustain living standards. Reclamation and water-right issues, plus construction costs, will influence how quickly new land can be brought into production.
