I believe it's ~3 million acres in the US alone. I cannot find a global figure though.

I don't know, but do you mean arable land or land in general? Not all land taken for development may have been useful for agriculture to start with. That said I would also think the amount of non arable land developed is a pretty small percentage or the total land developed.
