Across
  1. 4. a type of agriculture in which farmers grow enough food to meet the needs of their own household, and may have little or no surplus to sell or trade
  2. 7. the process of revitalizing or rejuvenating a rural area, often through economic development or other initiatives
  3. 11. the deterioration of the quality of land, often due to human activities such as overuse, misuse, or pollution
  4. 15. the business of farming, including the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products
  5. 17. the wearing away of soil by the action of wind or water
  6. 19. the practice of combining crops and livestock production on the same farm
  7. 20. the integration of the global agricultural economy through the expansion of trade, investment, and other economic linkages.
  8. 22. the process of changing the laws, policies, or practices that govern land ownership, use, and management, often with the aim of redistributing land or increasing access to land for disadvantaged groups
  9. 23. the transformation of fertile land into desert, often due to overgrazing, deforestation, or drought
  10. 28. the ability of soil to support the growth of plants
  11. 34. a period of rapid technological and productivity growth in agriculture, especially in developing countries, that began in the 1960s and 1970s
  12. 35. the practice of building terraces or step-like structures on sloping land, in order to create level areas for cultivation and prevent soil erosion
  13. 36. a type of pastoralism in which livestock are moved between different pastures or ranges at different seasons
  14. 38. the artificial application of water to land in order to assist the growth of crops
  15. 39. the legal rights and responsibilities associated with the ownership, use, and management of land
  16. 40. chemicals used to kill or control pests, such as insects, weeds, or fungi
  17. 44. a way of life in which people move from place to place in search of resources, rather than settling in one location
  18. 45. the dissemination of knowledge and information about improved agricultural practices and technologies to farmers and rural communities
  19. 46. the use of zoning regulations or land-use plans to designate areas for agricultural use, and to restrict other types of development
  20. 47. the practice of growing a series of different crops in a particular area in a set order, in order to maintain soil fertility and reduce the risk of pest and disease outbreaks
  21. 48. the cultivation of crops and the raising of animals for food, fiber, and other products
  22. 49. a type of industrial agriculture that involves the intensive confinement and feeding of animals, often in crowded, indoor facilities
  23. 50. the cultivation of a single crop over a wide area
Down
  1. 1. the decline in the population of a rural area, often due to migration to urban areas or other factors
  2. 2. the alteration of the genetic makeup of an organism using biotechnology techniques
  3. 3. a type of agriculture that involves the use of relatively low levels of labor and capital, and relies on natural resources such as climate and soil to produce crops
  4. 5. a type of agriculture that involves the use of large amounts of labor and capital to produce high yields per unit of land
  5. 6. an area beyond the suburbs, typically characterized by low population density and a rural or semi-rural lifestyle
  6. 8. the zone of transition between a city and its surrounding rural area
  7. 9. a type of agriculture that relies on large-scale, mechanized production, and often involves the use of synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms
  8. 10. a town or suburb that is primarily residential, and from which many residents commute to work in a nearby city
  9. 12. the process of affluent or middle-class people moving into a rural area, often resulting in the displacement of poorer or working-class residents
  10. 13. the concentration of agricultural production on a few specific crops or livestock
  11. 14. a type of agriculture that seeks to minimize the use of synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms, and to promote the use of natural inputs and techniques
  12. 16. the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
  13. 18. the output of agricultural products per unit of land, labor, or capital
  14. 21. a type of agriculture in which farmers produce crops or livestock primarily for sale or trade in the market
  15. 24. a town that has developed around a larger, central city, and that is economically dependent on the central city
  16. 25. a type of agriculture that involves the raising of livestock, often in a nomadic or semi-nomadic manner
  17. 26. the protection and management of soil resources in order to maintain or improve their fertility and productivity
  18. 27. the expansion of agricultural production to include a wider range of crops or livestock
  19. 29. government payments or other forms of financial support provided to farmers or the agricultural sector
  20. 30. the movement of people and businesses from urban to rural areas
  21. 31. the spread of urban development into surrounding areas, often in a dispersed, low-density pattern
  22. 32. a suburban area that has developed a significant concentration of business, shopping, and entertainment, and that functions as a hub of activity outside of a traditional downtown
  23. 33. the increase in the amount of inputs, such as labor, capital, or technology, used in agriculture in order to increase productivity
  24. 37. the exchange of agricultural products between countries or regions
  25. 41. the cultivation of multiple crops in the same area, often in a planned, intercropping pattern
  26. 42. the process of increasing the proportion of people living in urban areas
  27. 43. substances that are added to soil or plants in order to increase their nutrient content and enhance growth
