Land & Water Use
Which practice helps add important minerals like Calcium (Ca) and increases the pH of the soil?
Adding limestone
Terracing
Green manure
Crop rotation
Which of the following is a sustainable agriculture practice that can increase soil fertility?
Overgrazing
Heavy tilling
Crop rotation
Monocropping
What is a benefit of using integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture?
Decreases crop yields
Increases monoculture production
Reduces pesticide use
Requires more synthetic fertilizers
In what way does shifting toward local food systems impact the sustainability factor in agricultural practices?
Reducing transportation-related fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with long-distance shipping
Limiting consumer choices strictly to seasonally available produce leading to potential nutritional deficiencies
Enabling standardized large-scale production techniques that often require less manual labor but may be energy-intensive
Increasing economic dependence on international markets where demand can fluctuate considerably
What effect is expected on water resources as a consequence of global temperature rise due to climate change?
Reduced evaporation rates worldwide resulting in higher groundwater recharge rates everywhere.
Global increase in freshwater availability due to accelerated glacial meltwater supplies.
Consistent increase in river discharges globally because of uniform precipitation increases across all watersheds.
Altered precipitation patterns leading to regional water scarcities or surpluses.
In sustainable agriculture, crop rotation impacts pest populations by primarily:
Encouraging monoculture practices as certain crop combinations are discovered to be less susceptible to pests.
Causing pests to adapt quickly due to constant changes in available crops, strengthening their populations.
Attracting more pests due to varied food sources being available throughout different seasons.
Interrupting pest life cycles through diverse planting schedules that reduce favorable conditions for pests.
What farming practice is used to cut out flat sections within hilly areas and helps reduce soil loss and erosion?
Strip farming
Green manure
Terracing
Crop rotation

The practice of integrating fish farming with plant cultivation in aquatic systems is known as what?
Aquaponics
Hydroponics
Monoculture Aquaculture
Terracing
How might increased atmospheric CO2 levels directly impact plant nutrition and subsequently influence food security?
By increasing the concentration of essential micronutrients.
By enhancing the efficiency of photosynthesis leading to larger yields.
By reducing the overall need for nitrogen-based fertilizers.
By decreasing protein content in staple crops.
