Agriculture and Rural Land–Use
Why has the Green Revolution been criticized in recent years?
It resulted in a shortage of agricultural laborers.
It did not improve food production as expected.
Its technologies were too advanced for many farmers.
It has led to environmental degradation and increased inequality.
How might local food movements affect agricultural patterns in urban areas?
The prevalence of community gardens and urban farms may increase.
Commercial monocropping within city limits will become more common.
Urban areas are likely to revert completely to traditional agriculture methods.
There would be greater reliance on imported goods from rural areas.
Which one is NOT associated with sustainable agriculture?
Crop rotation
Organic farming
Overuse of chemical fertilizers
Controlled grazing methods
How has the Green Revolution most significantly impacted agricultural practices on a global scale?
Increased crop yields through the use of new seeds and technology
Enhanced genetic diversity of crops by promoting heirloom varieties
Reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides
Shifted the primary mode of farming from subsistence to commercial globally
Which innovation could most effectively address the challenge of soil degradation in modern agriculture?
Enhanced irrigation systems
Expansion of monoculture practices
Introducing crop rotation and cover crops
Increased usage of chemical fertilizers
What agricultural strategy can best mitigate the negative effects of climate change on crop yields?
Promoting large-scale industrial farming
Advancing traditional farming methods
Development of genetically modified crops resistant to temperature fluctuations
Encouraging further use of agrochemicals
What is an example of a genetically modified crop that has had significant impact on agriculture?
Bt-corn
Hc-wheat
Gm-potato
Bt-mango

What challenge do genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose to biodiversity within agricultural ecosystems?
Genetically modified crops enhance biodiversity through selective breeding programs.
GMOs increase biodiversity by introducing new species into ecosystems.
The use of GMOs has no significant effect on ecosystem biodiversity.
They can lead to reduced genetic variation as GMO traits become dominant.
Which agricultural practice involves planting different types crops in alternating rows or sections?
Commercial farming
Subsistence farming
Monocropping
Inter cropping
What term best describes the practice of growing just enough food to feed one's family, without any surplus for trade?
Subsistence farming
Commercial farming
Collective farming
Mechanized farming
