Land Use Pattern In India

• The land use pattern of India can be broadly divided under the categories of Forest Area, Net Sown Area, Fallow Land, Cultivable wastelands, and Land not used for Cultivation.

• The forest area in India has gone down considerably due to the demand for agricultural and non-agricultural land for buildings.

• The increase in population also resulted in demand for more land and food produce. The net sown area is considerably less to meet the demands of the population.
