What are Mexico's land uses?

Answer 1

The city lies within a large valley, and is surrounded by several hills to the north and west. To the south there is a mountainous region of pine and oak trees known as the range of Ajusco, which is prone to snowfalls on winter months. The rest of the city has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb) with average temperatures of 9-23 °C (42-69 °F).

Agriculture in or around Mexico City is negligible, as the whole valley is mostly urban area; agricultural products include beans, maize and alfalfa; mostly for subsistence. Some ornamental plants are cultivated on the southern area of the city, specially in and around the Xochimilco Ecologic Park.

Answer 2

Mexico has the following land uses:

• Scrub forests and deserts: 29% (572,040 sq km / 220,866 sq mi) - the same size of Spain and Lithuania, or California and Illinois put together.
• Agriculture: 17% (335,334 sq km / 129,473 sq mi) - roughly the size of Finland or New Mexico.
• Forests of many kinds, including boreal, temperate and subtropical highland forests: 17% (335,334 sq km / 129,473 sq mi).
• Tropical rainforest or jungle: 17% (335,334 sq km / 129,473 sq mi).
• Man-made pastures: 12% (236,706 / 91,393 sq mi) - roughly the size of Romania or slightly larger than Minnesota.
• Naturally occurring pastures: 4% (78,902 sq km / 30,464 sq mi) - roughly the size of the Czech Republic or slightly smaller than South Carolina).
• Urban settlements and other uses: 4% (78,902 sq km / 30,464 sq mi).

Answer 3

If you mean outside of the Mexico City proper, most of it is urban. Outside of the metropolitan area, most land is used for crop growing with some mining here and there.
