And yet, every viable plot of land is used for farming.

Similarly, I would argue that you should not underestimate the harmful and wide-reaching effects of industry.

Try using Google Maps in Satellite View. You'd be hard pressed to find land that isn't used agriculturally.

IIUC, the land that is unutilized or has forest, is either protected, too hilly, too dry, etc.
