81-442: A great deal of land not devoted to agricultural use. The land actually under annually-replanted crops in any given year is instead said to constitute sown land or cropped land . "Permanent cropland" includes forested plantations used to harvest coffee , rubber , or fruit but not tree farms or proper forests used for wood or timber . Land able to be used for farming is called cultivable land . Farmland, meanwhile,

108-502: A rural access road links Addi Shinqur and Dengolo to the main asphalt road. Its mountainous nature and proximity to Mekelle make the tabia fit for tourism. As compared to many other mountain areas in Ethiopia the villages are quite accessible, and during walks visitors may be invited for coffee, lunch or even for an overnight stay in a rural homestead. A trekking route has been established in this tabia . The tracks are not marked on

135-519: A very high seasonality with 70 to 80% of the annual rain falling in July and August. Mean temperature in Dengolo is 18 °C, oscillating between average daily minimum of 10 °C and maximum of 25.7 °C. In the lowland Kemishana village, at 1430 metres, the mean temperature amounts to 26.7 °C. The contrasts between day and night air temperatures are much larger than seasonal contrasts. The Giba River

162-430: Is 28.4% of all agricultural land (10.9% of global land area), and permanent crops (e.g. vineyards and orchards ) are 3.1% (1.2% of global land area). In 2021, the global agricultural land area was 4.79 billion hectares (ha), down 2 percent, or 0.09 billion ha compared with 2000. One-third of the total agricultural land was cropland (1.58 billion ha in 2021), which increased by 6 percent (0.09 billion ha). Asia had

189-577: Is as little as €1,500–2,000 (£1,260–1,680) per hectare (ha) (£1,260–1,680). This is comparatively inexpensive. Poor-quality farmland in France and Spain is sold at no lower than €10,000/ha. The average Russian farm measures 150 hectares (370 acres). The most prevalent crops in Russia are wheat , barley , corn , rice , sugar beet , soy beans , sunflower , potatoes and vegetables . Russian farmers harvested roughly 85–90 million tonnes of wheat annually in

216-473: Is at the northern end of the tabia (2710 m a.s.l.) and the lowest place at the confluence of Zikuli and Giba rivers (1395 m a.s.l.). The difference in elevation is more than 1300 metres. From the higher to the lower locations, the following geological formations are present: The Zikuli, Geba and Zeyi gorges allow views on the full stratigrapical succession. The main geomorphic units, with corresponding soil types are: The rainfall pattern shows

The southern boundary is the Giba river. The highest peak

270-424: Is dominated by farmlands which are clearly demarcated and are cropped every year. Hence the agricultural system is a permanent upland farming system . The farmers have adapted their cropping systems to the spatio-temporal variability in rainfall. Especially the youngsters will go to the deep gorges of Giba and Zeyi rivers, near Kemishana, to harvest incense from Boswellia papyrifera trees. The history of

297-634: Is protected so that it can be farmed without any threat of development. The Agricultural Land Reserve in British Columbia in Canada , for instance, requires approval from its Agricultural Land Commission before its lands can be removed or subdivided. Under the FAO 's definitions above, agricultural land covers 38.4% of the world's land area as of 2011. Permanent pastures are 68.4% of all agricultural land (26.3% of global land area), arable land (row crops)

324-470: Is the most important river in the surroundings of the tabia . It flows towards Tekezze River and further on to the Nile . This river and its tributaries have incised deep gorges which characterise the landscape. The drainage network of the tabia is organised as follows: Whereas they are (nearly) dry during most of the year, during the main rainy season, these rivers carry high runoff discharges, sometimes in

351-566: Is used variously in reference to all agricultural land, to all cultivable land, or just to the newly restricted sense of "arable land". Depending upon its use of artificial irrigation , the FAO's "agricultural land" may be divided into irrigated and non-irrigated land. In the context of zoning , agricultural land or agriculturally-zoned land refers to plots that are permitted to be used for agricultural activities, without regard to its present use or even suitability. In some areas, agricultural land

378-549: The tabia is strongly confounded with the history of Tembien . Particularly, Ras Alula was born in Mennewe , the son of Engda Eqube, a farmer of modest origins. In Alula's childhood, a group of people carrying baskets of bread to a wedding ceremony were stopped by a group of children led by the future Ras , who demanded to know where they were going. "To the Castle of Ras Alula Wedi Qubi," they mockingly replied. Thereafter, his friends and

405-455: The United States cropland increased by 2.98 million acres from 2008 to 2012 (comprising 7.34 million acres (29,700 km ) converted to agriculture, and 4.36 million acres (17,600 km ) converted from agriculture). Source: Helgi Library, World Bank, FAOSTAT Prices and rents for agricultural land depend on supply and demand. Prices/rents rise when the supply of farmland on

432-670: The United States of America (10 percent) and China (8 percent). Cropland area per capita decreased in all regions between 2000 and 2021 as population increased faster than the cropland area. The world average declined by 18 percent to 0.20 ha per capitain 2021; the decrease was the largest in Africa (−25 percent, to0.21 ha per capita), followed by the Americas and Asia (−17 percent each,to 0.37 ha per capita and 0.13 ha per capita, respectively), Europe and Oceania (−7 percent each, to 0.39 haper capita and 0.77 ha per capita, respectively). The countries with

459-470: The cropland area of Africa overtook that of Europe in 2018. Approximately 30 percent of global cropland and permanent meadows and pastures can be found in three countries. In 2021, 12 percent of global permanent meadows and pastures belonged to China, 10 percent to Australia, and 8 percent to the United States of America. For the same year, the largest share of global cropland was in India (11 percent), followed by

486-411: The form of flash floods . Especially at the begin of the rainy season they are brown-coloured, evidencing high soil erosion rates. As there are no permanent rivers, the presence of springs is of utmost importance for the local people. The main springs in the tabia are: In this area with rains that last only for a couple of months per year, reservoirs of different sizes allow harvesting runoff from

Starting from Inda Maryam Qorar , trek 8 leads directly down to Zeyi church and cave and further across the Zeyi and Giba gorges; the trek route meets Zikuli river and follows it upstream back to the main road, down from Mennewe. Farmland Agricultural land is typically land devoted to agriculture , the systematic and controlled use of other forms of life —particularly

540-626: The highest croplandarea per capita are Kazakhstan, Australia and Canada, due to vast areas of land available. Globally, the total amount of permanent pasture according to the FAO has been in decline since 1998, in part due to a decrease of wool production in favor of synthetic fibers (such as polyester) and cotton . The decrease of permanent pasture, however, does not account for gross conversion (e.g. land extensively cleared for agriculture in some areas, while converted from agriculture to other uses elsewhere) and more detailed analyses have demonstrated this. For example, Lark et al. 2015 found that in

567-514: The largest share of the global cropland area in 2021 (37 percent), followedby the Americas (24 percent), Africa (19 percent), Europe (18 percent) and Oceania (2 percent). There were differences in cropland expansion in the different regions during this period – Oceania and Africa both had rapid growth in cropland area (33 percent and 27 percent), while Asia and the Americas had more moderate growth (4 percent and 2 percent). The cropland area of Europe declined between 2000 and 2021 by 5 percent. As aresult,

594-416: The market reduces. Landholders then put more land on the market – causing prices to fall. Conversely, land prices/rents fall when the demand for agricultural land declines because of falls in the returns from holding and using it. The immediate triggers for falls in land demand might be reductions in the demand for farm produce or in relevant government subsidies and tax reliefs. The cost of Russian farmland

621-460: The people of Mannewe nicknamed him Ras Alula. Later, he was to become one of the most famous African generals. Most inhabitants are Orthodox Christians . The following churches are located in the tabia : The main road from Mekelle through Hagere Selam winds down towards Abiy Addi across the Mennewe valley in the northeast of the tabia . There are regular bus services to these towns. Further,

648-540: The rainy season for further use in the dry season. Overall they suffer from siltation. Yet, they strongly contribute to greening the landscape, either through irrigation or seepage water. Main reservoirs are: The tabia centre Dengolo holds a few administrative offices, a health post, a primary school, and some small shops. There are a few more primary schools across the tabia . The main other populated places are: The population lives essentially from crop farming, supplemented with off-season work in nearby towns. The land

675-458: The rearing of livestock and production of crops —to produce food for humans . It is generally synonymous with both farmland or cropland , as well as pasture or rangeland . The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and others following its definitions, however, also use agricultural land or agricultural area as a term of art , where it means the collection of: This sense of "agricultural land" thus includes

702-604: The years around 2010. Russia exported most to Egypt , Turkey and Iran in 2012; China was a significant export market as well. The average yield from the Krasnodar region was between 4 and 5 tonnes per ha, while the Russian average was only 2t/ha. The Basic Element Group , a conglomerate owned by Oleg Deripaska , is one of Russia's leading agricultural producers, and owns or manages 109,000ha of Russian farmland, out of 90m actual and 115m total (0.12% actual). In 2013, Ukraine

729-480: Was ranked third in corn production and sixth in wheat production. It was the main supplier of corn , wheat , and rape to Europe, although it is unclear whether the internal supply from countries like France were accounted in this calculation. Ukrainian farmers achieve 60% of the output per unit area of their North American competitors. UkrLandFarming PLC produces, from 650,000 hectares (1.6m acres), corn, wheat, barley, sugar beet, and sunflowers. Until 2014,
