Answer 2

Answer:

Only 1% is available and the reason is explained below.

Explanation:

• Agriculture is practised on half of the planet's habitable land.
• Only 37% of the remaining area is made up of forests, 11% is made up of shrubs and grasslands, 1% is covered by freshwater, and the remaining 1%—a much smaller portion than many think—is made up of built-up urban areas, which include cities, towns, villages, roads, and other forms of human infrastructure.
• The proportion of land use between crops for human consumption and cattle is also very unequal.
• Livestock makes up 77 percent of the world's agricultural area when grazing pastures and cropland for animal feed are combined.
• Despite occupying the majority of agricultural land, livestock only contributes 18% of the world's calories and 37% of its protein.
• One of humanity's biggest environmental impacts has been the growth of agriculture.
• Agriculture is one of the major threats to biodiversity, changing habitats and putting 24,000 of the 28,000 species on the IUCN Red List that are considered to be in danger of going extinct.
