Question

Agriculture in areas with less land but high population density.​

Answer 1

You will find a lower level of agricultural density in more developed countries, because they have access to better technology and money, which allows an individual to work more farmland. The condition of the soil can also affect agricultural density since some countries have much more fertile land than others.

Abstract

This article uses nationally representative household-level panel data from Malawi to estimate how rural population density impacts agricultural intensification and household well-being. We find that areas of higher population density are associated with smaller farm sizes, lower real agricultural wage rates, and higher real maize prices. Any input intensification that occurs seems to be going to increasing maize yields, as we find no evidence that increases in population density enable farmers to increase gross value of crop output per hectare. We also find evidence that households in more densely populated areas increasingly rely on off-farm income to earn a living, but there appears to be a rural population density threshold beyond which households can no longer increase off-farm income per capita.Introduction

Boosting agricultural production in the face of a growing population is one of the major challenges facing Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) at the start of the 21st century. However, to date few empirical studies attempt to estimate the extent to which population density affects agricultural intensification and household well-being. This is a critical issue because current population estimates in SSA stand at 856 million people, and the United Nations projects that the region’s population could increase to 2 billion by 2050 under their medium growth scenario (United Nations, 2011, Bremner, 2012). While cereal yields increased by 1.8% per year on average across the continent between 2000 and 2010 (FAOSTAT, 2012), in most SSA countries population growth averages above 2% per year, and tops 3% per year in a number of countries (World Bank, 2013). The disparity between yield increases and population growth raises doubt about how millions of smallholder farm households will feed themselves, and how the food system in SSA can generate enough surplus to feed the non-agricultural population. This is particularly the case as the amount of additional arable land that can be brought into cultivation continues to decline and is already non-existent in some areas.
