Across
  1. 2. - An industrial facility where a large number of animals are raised in confined spaces for efficient mass production.
  2. 4. - A condition resulting from an improper or insufficient diet, leading to health issues due to a lack of essential nutrients.
  3. 7. - A type of pesticide specifically designed to target and control insects.
  4. 10. - A pesticide that breaks down relatively quickly in the environment.
  5. 11. - A substance used to control, repel, or kill pests that can damage crops or spread diseases.
  6. 13. - The opposite of food security, it refers to a lack of consistent access to enough safe and nutritious food, leading to health and nutrition concerns.
  7. 14. - Excessive Excessive accumulation of water in the soil, leading to reduced oxygen availability for plant roots.
  8. 15. - Financial support provided to the agricultural sector in the form of discounted energy inputs such as fuel and electricity.
  9. 17. - The cultivation of aquatic organisms, such as fish or shellfish, under controlled conditions for commercial purposes.
  10. 20. - A period of increased agricultural productivity in the mid-20th century, characterized by the adoption of high-yielding crop varieties, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides.
  11. 24. - Small, hard, and edible seeds of grass-like plants, such as wheat, rice, oats, and corn, which are major sources of human nutrition.
  12. 25. - A state where an individual does not receive enough essential nutrients to maintain good health, leading to deficiencies and potential health problems.
  13. 26. - A pesticide that targets specific types of pests while sparing other organisms.
  14. 29. - The agricultural practice of growing a single crop repeatedly on the same land, often leading to soil degradation and increased susceptibility to pests.
  15. 30. - The cost advantages that arise when production increases, leading to a reduction in average cost per unit.
  16. 31. - A pesticide that remains active in the environment for an extended period.
  17. 32. - A medical condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin, resulting in reduced oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood.
  18. 33. - A pesticide that is effective against a wide range of pests.
Down
  1. 1. - The accumulation of salt in the soil, often due to irrigation, which can negatively impact plant growth.
  2. 3. - Large-scale, mechanized, and intensive farming practices that use modern technologies, machinery, and chemicals to maximize productivity.
  3. 5. - The state in which all people have consistent access to enough safe and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.
  4. 6. - A type of pesticide designed to control or eliminate unwanted plants (weeds).
  5. 8. - Animal flesh that is consumed as food.
  6. 9. - An area where fish and other seafood are caught for commercial purposes.
  7. 12. - The decline or depletion of fish stocks in a specific area, often due to overfishing or environmental factors.
  8. 16. - An extreme scarcity of food in a particular geographic area, leading to widespread hunger, malnutrition, and sometimes death.
  9. 18. - The cycle of using increasingly potent pesticides as pests develop resistance, leading to a continual need for new, more powerful chemicals.
  10. 19. - Commercial agricultural enterprises involved in the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products.
  11. 21. - The consumption of excess nutrients, especially calories, leading to obesity and associated health problems.
  12. 22. - Fertilizer produced chemically, containing essential nutrients for plant growth.
  13. 23. - The ability of pests to develop resistance to the effects of pesticides over time.
  14. 27. - Fertilizer derived from natural sources, such as compost or manure, without synthetic additives.
  15. 28. - The state of being extremely poor, often characterized by a lack of basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
