Land Capability
Definition: Land Capability
Land Capability: Land capability is an estimate of the potential of land for agriculture, made on purely physical environmental factors such as climate and soil. In 2004 the total area of agricultural land in the UK was 18,436,000 hectares occupying more than 70% of the total land area. On average only 16.1% of this is Grade 1 or 2. Understanding land capability helps farmers plan appropriate crops and farming techniques for different types of land.
