The forecast data indicates a year-on-year decline in arable land and permanent crops in Italy from 2024 to 2028. This trend projects a gradual reduction, with the value decreasing from 92.48 thousand square kilometers in 2024 to 91.01 thousand square kilometers in 2028. Compared to 2023, the year-on-year variations reflect a consistent decrease in land dedicated to these purposes.
Throughout this period, key trends to monitor include:
- The impact of climate change on agricultural viability and land use.
- Shifts in agricultural policies and urban expansion potentially reducing arable land.
- Technological advancements that might improve crop yields per square kilometer, mitigating the effects of shrinking land.
