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.

    Maybe if you mean factory farming when you say farming, you should clarify that when you say ‘we should stop all farming’ because responsible farming is completely possible, you just don’t want to admit it

      Oh I think we should stop all animal farming too, because it is reprehensible. And so-called “responsible farming” is not nearly possible at a scale to meet humanity’s demand for meat. It could only be a luxury for the wealthy, which I would also object to.
