Detailed explanation-1: -Increased crop production without increasing the amount of land used is the key to feeding a hungry world. The amount of crop harvests needs to be increased from one a year in most climates.
Detailed explanation-2: -incorporating organic farm waste into soils. drastically reducing tillage where soil is turned and churned to prepare for growing crops. investing more in agroforestry, where trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland to increase biodiversity and reduce erosion.
