Glossary:Unutilised agricultural area (NUAA)
An unutilised agricultural area, abbreviated as NUAA, is land previously used for an agricultural purpose which during the reference year of the survey is no longer worked and which is not used in the crop rotation system, i.e. land where no agricultural use is intended. This land could be brought back into cultivation using the resources normally available on an agricultural holding. The difference to fallow land, is that this is land which is not considered by the farmer as being part of the rotation.
