Moreover, the combined agricultural and food sector forms an important part of the EU economy, accounting for 15�million jobs (8.3% of total employment) and 4.4% of GDP. The 12�million active farmers across Europe today, have an average farm size of about 15�ha, and are expected to meet the needs of 500�million Europeans. In addition, they are also expected to promote a sustainable and balanced development of their land, also in areas where production conditions are difficult. Yet, despite the relevance of the sector, the use of land for agriculture purposes is not very sustainable. Among other issues, there is a serious problem in respect of the abandonment of agricultural land. Based on the perceived need for research on this topic, the aim of this paper is to examine the causes and consequences of agricultural land abandonment, outlining its social, economic and environmental impacts, as well as the implications for territorial integration. � 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
