Effect of parameters of the dimensions of TBL
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Commercial land (1) |
|
| Farming Turnover (2) | Economic: It governs farmers’ profitability and determines their livelihood; agriculture holds a major share in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) |
| Farmland Area (3) |
|
| Land demand (4) | Economic – depends on the geographical location, urbanization, and other factors determining how the land needs to be used – a trade-off between farming, residing, industrial purposes, and others |
| Land price (5) | Economic – is a factor that depends on the factors mentioned for Land demand |
| Per Capita water (6) |
|
| Population (7) |
|
| Production rate (8) | Environmental—There must be increased trading off intensification and geographical expansion. The former increases carbon stocks while decreasing them (Hinz et al., 2020) |
| Rainfall (9) |
|
| Water consumption (10) | Environmental and Social– efficient water management could balance freshwater availability for all industrial and residential activities |
| Water level (11) | Environmental – this alters the properties of soil, making it unfit for agriculture and urbanization |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Commercial land (1) | Social and economic – land exploitation creates a socioeconomic imbalance, widening the socioeconomic gap and affecting the lifestyle of people with low incomes Environmental: This contributes to an increase in temperature by reducing the forest area (deforestation), which contributes to global warming |
| Farming Turnover (2) | Economic: It governs farmers’ profitability and determines their livelihood; agriculture holds a major share in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) |
| Farmland Area (3) | Social—determines the volume of produce required to cater to the growing population. This addresses SDG 2 (zero hunger) Environmental: Improper use of farmland leads to degradation and, thus, conversion for other purposes. It addresses SDG 15 (Net zero land degradation) |
| Land demand (4) | Economic – depends on the geographical location, urbanization, and other factors determining how the land needs to be used – a trade-off between farming, residing, industrial purposes, and others |
| Land price (5) | Economic – is a factor that depends on the factors mentioned for Land demand |
| Per Capita water (6) | Environmental – efficient use of available fresh water is essential Economics requires investment in modern irrigation technologies. It could result in more profit |
| Population (7) | Social – The increasing population demands more production to cater for needs Environmental – Housing a larger population also requires the conversion of lands to residents and other allied spaces |
| Production rate (8) | Environmental—There must be increased trading off intensification and geographical expansion. The former increases carbon stocks while decreasing them ( |
| Rainfall (9) | Social: It determines crop yield. Human activities, such as deforestation and emissions, disturb it Environment – results in climate change and alteration in soil properties |
| Water consumption (10) | Environmental and Social– efficient water management could balance freshwater availability for all industrial and residential activities |
| Water level (11) | Environmental – this alters the properties of soil, making it unfit for agriculture and urbanization |
