Intro🔔

Land, people, and food: an intriguing triangle! The amount of land available plays a key role in food production. So, as we welcome more folks to the dinner table (read: population increases), we might find ourselves with less room on the table (aka land availability decreases). Makes sense, right? Now, let's dive into a real-life situation.

Real - world example🌍

Consider South Africa, a country rich in cultural diversity and wildlife (bet you can't beat a good safari trip, huh?). There's been a significant change in the area of cultivated land per person over time.

The time warp⏰

Imagine it's 1960, and every South African had about 0.7 hectares of cultivated land per person. Think about 7 football fields for each individual. Impressive, right? But fast forward to 2016, and it's a whole different story. The amount of cultivated land per person dropped to just around 0.2 hectares. That's like shrinking those 7 football fields down to 2. What a drastic change in a span of 56 years!
