1. The decrease of land under permanent pastures has grave impact. If grazing or pasture lands decrease, rearing of animals and livestock becomes difficult as there is less grazing land to feed the animals. This affects progress in livestock rearing and brings down production of the animal husbandry sector.
2. Nearly 25 percent (one fourth ) of India's total land area is now under forest and tree cover. However, there is still a long .
3. India's total land area is around 329 million hectares. Of this, the government classifies 90 million hectares as “wasteland” — that is, non-productive land; a definition that militates against the fact that about 40 per cent of our 1.3 billion population depends on this land for livelihood.
4. The most satisfying feature of our present land use pattern is that the total net sown area constitutes to about 43.4% of the total land use area and the current fallow land accounts for only 7% of the total area.
5. Drawbacks of land-use pattern in India:

• Net sown area is limited to 46.5% which needs to increase for a growing population or fallow land needs to be reduced or culturable waste should be lowered.
• Area sown more than once is 35.8% of the net sown area. ...
• Forest land is 22.86% which should be 33% for proper ecological balance.

6. Around 33% or one-third of the land should be under the forest cover because forests help in the conservation of the natural environment. ... Destruction of forests would also affect the food chain. It will also lead to t he destruction of bio-diversity. Inadequate forest cover would result in soil erosion.
