Land use figures show (I) forests constitute only 7% of the reporting area and dense cover is only 3.75%: (ii) during the last decade percentages of usar and other land unfit for cultiviation, cultural waste lands and other fallows have shown a downward treand (iii) area percentage of land under non-agriculture uses has increased. Area under fallow lands is still quite substantial. Nearly 75 lakh ha of land are degraded that need to be restored.

There is not much scope for any substantial increase in net sown area. What needs to be done is to improve croppinmg intensity in the available arable land, recovery of degraded lands and protecting productive lands. Scientific agriuclture, forestry and grassland developpment will have to be intensified. Land and water conservaion in intergrated modes demands high priority.

Changing agricultural land use:

In UP, there is an increasing trend towards standardization of food grains (rice and wheat) and increased production of high value agricultural crops, at the expense of more traditional crops. While area under crops such as rice, wheat and sugarcane has increased, area under some other crops such as barley, jowar, and maize has decreased. This trend is more or less consistent with the over all trend at all India level.
