little about land!




3




my two friends Rachel and Nicole!


4





the green revolution, traditional agriculture,
soil erosion, and soil conservation! Now doesn't
that sound exciting?!


5





you the three main steps involved in
the green revolution so listen up!

6





monocultures of selectively bred or genetically
engineered high yield varieties of key crops!


7






inputs of fertilizer, pesticides, and water!

8





per year on your plot of land through multiple
cropping!


9






global food production coming from increased yields per unit
of area.

10





aren't there more
than one
green revolution?


There's the first
and second green
revolution.

11




difference between
the two?


is a high input approach which
dramatically increased crop yields in most
developed countries!


12



growing varieties of rice and wheat into
several developing countries in tropical and
subtropical climates.

interesting! And what's
the second revolution?




13




involves developed
countries and the second
revolution is in developing
countries?




14




is that farmers have a better control on
pests and insects, it increases yield, and
protects biodiversity!



15



of land where we can learn all new
kinds of agriculture!


great idea! Lets go!
Follow me!



16



don't we start with the growing
techniques in agriculture?





17







a fantastic idea!
18


interplanting are practices
farmers use to simultaneously
grow several crops on the same
plot of land at the same time.



farmers use are
interplanting and
intercropping!



19




strategies: Polyvarietal cultivation, intercropping
agroforestry/alley cropping, and polyculture.



20


and they help people's farm land!
Polyvarietal involves planting a plot
with several varieties of the same
crop. Agroforestry is where crops and
trees are grown together.



of different strategies
farmers use!



21




learned about intercropping!
This is where you can have two or
more different crops and plant them
at the same time! For example you
could plant this radish and carrot
together on the same plot of land!

polyculture! This is where many different
plants maturing at various times are
planted together.





22


activity, and natural effects could lead
to soil erosion. That's why you want to
take good care of your soil!





take care of your land it could
lead to soil erosion!

23



natural or human
induced processes decrease
the future ability
of land to support crops,
livestock, or wild species!




land degradation? What is that?

24


major harmful effects like loss
of soil fertility, and occurs when
eroded soil ends up as
sediment in nearby surface
waters where it can pollute water.




makes sense!


25



productive potential of arid
or semiarid land falls by 10%
or more because of a combo
of natural climate change that causes
prolonged drought and human activities
that reduce or degrade topsoil.



don't think a lot about
is desertification.

26





conservation of soil!
