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.
