Detailed explanation-1: -Ancient farmers adopted crop rotation and inter cropping to restore soil fertility. Mixed or inter cropping with legumes in cereal and oil seed cultivation were widely practices. All these practices adopted in ancient time are now being recommended today under organic farming concept.
Detailed explanation-2: -(i) More and more land is used for construction of factories, warehouses and shelters have reduced the land under cultivation. (ii) Soil gets degraded by the use of pesticides, fertilizers, over-irrigation, etc., which leads to water logging and salinity.
