Document Summary
* on the final exam there will be geo lit exam so practice the quizzes that he has showed us. Through scientific management produce more food on existing/declining land area. By 2050 there will be and increase in the world population and their might be a shortage of food. We don"t have new areas of exploring land for crop production and existing land area is declining due to over working the land and causing erosion and thus land becomes un usable and this causes expansion of dessert areas. The expansion of city areas cusing land to dessiapaer. We need to produce more food on limited land by using sicinetidi knowlde. Crops that have shorter grow time (potential to get more crops from the same piece of land) Specialization, monoculture- one crop being produced on a farm this causes lack of variety but it allows you to be more efficient, consequences of specialization is monoculture: dominating parts of the landscape.
