Of the total area that is used by humans (Agriculture, Urban and Built-up Land),

  • urban and built-up land is 1m km²,
  • agriculture is 48m km²,

so agriculture is 48 of 49 millions km² used, that’s 98%. The remaining 2% are all streets and housing and other infrastructure together.

      I live in New Zealand, where ‘farming’ means a very different thing to me than it does you. Sorry we won’t see eye to eye on this.
