Overview
Agricultural production is a major use of land, accounting
for more than 46 percent of the U.S. land base. Agricultural

residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and
open space. The interaction among these sometimes-incompatible
uses can lead to social conflict. Government is often
called upon to resolve these conflicts.
