I was wondering the same. The title and description say different things. Loss of fertile land is bad, but reduction of farmed area sounds like a good thing.

You try growing avocados in the mountains

The infographic says crop farming. Ireland is green because of the grass which goes with animal farming.

The chart is lazy nonsense that ignores most of the farming in Ireland.

The graphic mentions that a decrease in land area on the graphs might also imply increased density of farming, less commercial farming for economic reasons

No, it's not a bad thing.

Denmark being at 60% is horrible. It is land used by less than 0.1% of the population.

They don't even contribute to the GDP. Tthe entire business model relies heavily on EU susidies and couldn't exist without it. Always moaning about the weather, pricing and competition, fixing the papers to always show a net loss, yet still driving massive luxury cars because apparently Mercedes is the only brand that can drive on the paved roads between the fields.

However, politically, these thousand people who own or rent all the farm land have way too much power, because they have somehow managed to convince everyone living in the vicinity of this manure desert called agriculture that they somehow also benefit from the success of the business, even if they don't.

Fuck farming. It's a dirty industry.
