In 2023, Germany's arable land and permanent crops stood at approximately 118.23 thousand square kilometers. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a gradual decline in land area from 118.05 to 117.35 thousand square kilometers. The year-on-year decrease is about 0.15%, suggesting a steady decline in arable and permanent crop lands.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of governmental agricultural policy reforms.
- Adoption of sustainable farming practices.
- Effects of climate change on land usage.
- Advancements in agricultural technology potentially offsetting land reduction.
