Question

what type of land can be converted easily into arable land and what type of land can be used for non agricultural purposes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arable land is characterized by the production of crops for food or feed supply purposes, a ‘normal’ permeability and a substantial soil erosion potential at least due to episodic bare or dead fallow periods. At present all agricultural land that is not pasture or grassland is considered arable land (cf. section B.3 and left part of Fig. 5-1). In particular with respect to the soil erosion potential there might principally be a need to distinguish areas on which annual crops are grown from those with perennial plants (like vine, olive trees, fruit trees), respectively. This distinction is, however, not made at present.
