Classification of Land by Type of Use:

On the basis of utilization the total Indian land can be grouped in the following categories namely:

• Forests.
• Area not available for cultivation: It includes non-agricultural and unproductive agricultural land.
• Uncultivated land except fallows: It includes pasture land, grazing land, tree covers and waste land.
• Fallow land: It implies cultivable but unused land.
• Cultivate land: It represents net cultivated area.
• Area under cultivable waste.

Area under miscellaneous trees and crops (outside of net sown area). Industrial use is non-agricultural. It is necessary to maintain forest land and permanent pasture and grazing ground for environmental reasons. Therefore, only limited land can be available for agriculture and therefore production has to be increased by improving technology. With the help of innovation, food production can be increased and security of the nation and the farmers can be achieved.
