A type of crops that have the benefit of conserving soil, retaining nutrients, and saving energy.
Perennial Crops
100
Land that supplies forage or vegetation for grazing and browsing animals and is not intensively managed.
Rangeland
100
productive potential of arid or semiarid land falls by 1-% or more because of a combination of natural climate change that causes prolonged drought and human activities that reduce or degrade topsoil
Desertification

List the soil horizontal layers from top to bottom
O-A-E-B-C-D
200

A condition in which food energy intake exceeds energy use and causes excess body fat (obesity)

Overnutrition

200
A type of agriculture which farmers produce enough food to feed their families and to sell for income.
Traditional Intensive Agriculture
200
Managed grassland or enclosed meadow that usually is planted with domesticated grasses or forage to be grazed with livestock.
Pasture
200
Repeated annual applications of irrigation water lead to the gradual accumulation of salts in the upper soil layers
Salinization
200
A program used cultivation, biological, and chemical methods to control pests that required deep research on each crops and its ecological environment.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Anemia can be the result of deficiency in
Iron
300
One major type of agriculture system that uses large amount of fossil fuel energy, water, fertilizers, and pesticides to produce huge quantities of sing crops (monoculture) or livestock animals for sale.
Industrialized Agriculture
300

The raising of livestock for food by moving herds from place to place to find pasture and water

Nomadic Herding

300
Large amounts of irrigation water to leach salts deeper into the soil but without adequate drainage, water accumulates underground and gradually raises the water table.
Waterlogging
300
Name two methods can be used to control pests beside using pesticide.
Genetic engineering Biological pest control Insect birth control Spraying insects with hot water Hormones that disrupt an insect's normal life cycle

Name and explain four types interplanting.
Polyvarietal cultivation: a plot planted several varieties of the same crop. Intercropping: two or more different crops are grown at the same time on a plot. Agroforestry: crops and trees are planted together. Polyculture: different plants maturing at various times are planted together.
