摘要

Land use efficiency (LUE) is fundamental factor that significantly influences various dimensions of sustainable development goals, addressing critical areas such as hunger alleviation, driving economic growth through industrial upheaval, and safeguarding our precious environment. This study aims to deliver an in-depth and comprehensive review of the current state and anticipated future directions in land use efficiency-related research. It also intends to investigate the connection between total factor productivity (TFP) and its relevance in attaining the sustainable development goals. To achieve this objective, this study meticulously reviewed 122 relevant papers on land use efficiency published between 2015 and 2022, indexed in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Science Citation Index Expended (SCIE). The study primarily focused on Africa and Asia which comprised 23% and 38% of the case studies, respectively. While studies from other continents were comparatively limited. Furthermore, the findings indicate a substantial rise in the number of studies on land use efficiency (LUE), with a predominant emphasis on overall land productivity and utilization. Specifically, 75.48% of these studies address the objectives of SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Quantitative assessment provide insight that improving agricultural land use efficiency through sustainable practices can boost total food productivity while minimizing environmental degradation, supporting the target of sustainable food production systems under SDG 2. Consequently, efficient urban land use can enhance cities' total factor productivity by promoting compact development, reducing infrastructure costs, and strengthening the economies of agglomeration. Hence, this review will provide valuable insights for researchers and policymakers, facilitating the adoption of improved land management practices to increase productivity and ultimately contribute to achieving SDGs.
