“Best Use of Land Received”

Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use
this land? Use specific details to explain your answer.

For the purpose of this essay, I imagine I get my agricultural dreamland in the
countryside. Here I would prefer to develop and do farming. I shall elaborate my
viewpoint in the following paragraphs.

Metropolitan areas all over the world are growing at unprecedented rates, creating
extensive urban landscapes. Many of the farmlands, wetlands, forests, and deserts
have been transformed during the past 100 years into human settlements. In the
last 200 years, world population has increased enormously, stressing ecological
systems and resulting into environment pollution and global warming problems. It
is high time we study these landscapes from a spatial perspective and measure the
changes that have occurred and predict the impact of changes to come.

Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live
without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on
farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and
animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming
remains the most important occupation in the world.

Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly

productive. The development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers has helped
double and even triple the yields of some major crops. Scientific livestock care
and breeding have helped increase the amount of meat and products that animals
produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has
sharply reduced the need for farm labor.

In nutshell, because farming has become less important as a way of life in the
world, it has become more important as a business enterprise. I would therefore
prefer to use my dreamland for faming and develop it to optimum level.
