• The activities undertaken and the changes made to an area of land for the purposes of economic production or the maintenance and restoration of environmental function.

History note

• SN added after discussion on 05/02/2016. FAO definition: "the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land cover type." ONS definition: land use reflects both the activities undertaken and the changes made to an area for the purposes of economic production or the maintenance and restoration of environmental function. Land that is “used” implies the existence of some human intervention.
