But the biggest factor is the【C6】________of industrial farming. Heavy tilling, multiple harvests and【C7】________use of agrochemicals have increased yields at the【C8】________of long-term sustainability. 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. Over time, however, this【C9】________fertility and can lead to abandonment of land and【C10】________desertification.
