Abstract: In 2015 agricultural land is estimated to cover 42% of all EU land area. The arable land accounts for the largest share – 56%, followed by livestock grazing (25%), mixed crops (13.5%) and various permanent crops (5.5%). Within 2015-2030 the EU agricultural land is projected to shrink by 1.1%, chiefly driven by the decline in the two principal groups – arable land and livestock grazing – by 4.0% and 2.6% respectively. Mixed crops are expected to expand by 11%. In the group of permanent crops, olive trees are likely to grow at the expense of vineyards.
