A third of the planet’s land is severely degraded and fertile soil is being lost at the rate of 24bn tonnes a year, according to a new United Nations-backed study that calls for a shift away from destructively intensive agriculture. The alarming【C1】______ , which is forecast to continue as demand for food and productive land increases, will add to the risks of conflicts unless【C2】______ actions are implemented, warns the institution behind the report.

In the past 20 years, agricultural production has increased threefold and the amount of irrigated land has doubled, notes a paper in the outlook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European commission.

解析
分析句子结构可知,本句话句子结构完整,再由句首的To不难得出空格所在部分是一个目的状语,故空格处应填入动词原形。上文提到了健康、多产的土地日益减少以及各国乃至全球对土地的竞争愈加激烈,下文提到我们应该后退一步,重新思考如何处理这些压力和竞争。根据语境推测,我们这么做的目的是将上文提到的激烈竞争带来的损失最小化,故J)minimize“最小化,把……减至最低”为本题答案。
