Land, in England, is valuable, because we have highly-paid artisans to consume the produce on the spot. -- Joseph Hume
Meat reared on land matures relatively quickly, and it takes only a few pounds of plants to produce a pound of meat. -- Sylvia Earle
Energy companies, such as Chevron and Shell, and oil producing countries, such as Kuwait and Venezuela, pump crude oil from their vast land holdings and sell it on the world market. -- Gary Miller
As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. -- Adam Smith

I've worked in the Inuit hamlets of the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1994.

Rather than think about fields producing food, and the rest of the land producing everything else, we need to think about managing integrated, multifunctional, landscapes -- Tim Benton
