Surprisingly little of it is suitable for farming. Limited growing seasons, water scarcity, temperature extremes, and shallow, poor quality soil render huge areas of the earth's terrain completely incompatible for anything but subsistence farming. Sadly, more and more prime farmland is being developed into housing areas. After all, if it's good for farming, it's generally an attractive area. The ugly, barren places that barely grow weeds are seldom turned into suburbs.
