However, non-arable land can sometimes be converted into arable land.

Cyanobacteria can be grown on non-arable land (land not used for farming).

Non-arable land is sometimes called wasteland, badlands, worthless or no man's land.

The Eco-city is sited on non-arable land.

Some examples of infertile non-arable land being turned into fertile arable land are:

The sandy deposits to the north-east of Ingatestone help explain the greater incidence of woodland and non-arable land in this area.

More recently, Napier has been used to alleviate pressure on food production as there is 2Gha of non-arable land suitable for energy crop production.

The advantages of algae are that it can be grown on non-arable land such as deserts or in marine environments, and the potential oil yields are much higher than from plants.

The report from our Agricultural Committee also includes amendments to extend grant aid for producing flax and hemp to non-arable land, thus providing opportunities to diversify areas of the European Union unable to obtain monetary support under the present regime.

With the use of non-edible vegetable oils produced by trees such as Millettia Pinnata (formerly Pongamia Pinnata) or the Moringa oleifera tree, both which grow on borderline or non-arable land, the food versus fuel debate becomes less of an either/or question.
