Land man ratio (LMR) is the ratio of the number of human beings to the land area. It indicates the population pressure at any given time and location. It is the pressure of people per net-cropped hectare of land. Low values of LMR are preferred to high values.
The population growing in areas under agriculture has resulted in a progressively increasing population pressure per net-cropped hectare in all countries. Surveys conducted in ten countries show that the population density is now between 3 and 12 persons per net-cropped hectare. In Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, the net-cropped area has decreased as the population increased, and the population density is now between 21 and 36 persons per net-cropped hectare. This has led to increasing concern about 'agricultural insecurity'.
