Solution
The two drawbacks of the land use pattern in India are:
- Division of agricultural land into small and fragmented holdings: It is a serious problem in densely populated and intensively cultivated states of Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
- Cultural Waste: The land was used in the past for agriculture but has been abandoned for reasons like lack of water, salinity or alkalinity of the soil, soil erosion, waterlogging, etc.
