50% of forestland cleared for agriculture is sitting idle
Agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation but according to new research, nearly half the land isn't even being used for agricultural puporses after the trees are chopped down.
According to a new study, covered in Mongabay, “half of tropical forestland cleared for agriculture isn’t put to use.”
