viljelykykyisiä

The term "viljelykykyisiä" is a Finnish adjective that translates to "cultivable" or "arable" in English. It describes land that is suitable for agriculture and capable of producing crops. This suitability is determined by a combination of factors, including soil fertility, topography, climate, and the availability of water.

Arable land is a crucial resource for food production and human settlement. Historically, the availability of cultivable land has been a significant driver of population growth and the development of civilizations. Different types of crops have varying requirements for soil and climate, meaning that land suitable for one type of agriculture may not be suitable for another.

Factors that make land less cultivable include rocky terrain, steep slopes, poor soil drainage, excessive salinity, or an unfavorable climate with insufficient rainfall or extreme temperatures. Efforts to reclaim or improve less fertile land for cultivation, such as through irrigation or soil amendment, are ongoing in many parts of the world. The concept of arable land is often discussed in the context of land use planning, food security, and environmental sustainability. The efficient and sustainable use of cultivable land is a key challenge for global agriculture.
