A stunning map of Germany is at present making the rounds on the web. Published by X (former Twitter) person Christian Victor, the map reveals the nation’s land consumption primarily based on several types of floor use.
In addition to massive areas for livestock feeding, forests and plant-based crops, there are a lot of different small areas, a few of that are very small. Golf programs and open-cast mines, for instance, at present use extra land than photo voltaic parks and wind power techniques mixed. The areas at present lined by large-scale photovoltaics correspond to the approximate space the place Christmas bushes are grown in Germany and are smaller than these devoted to golf programs.
Victor stated he would submit the precise listing of sources at an unspecified later stage, however famous that many of the knowledge got here from the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) and the Federal Environment Agency.
