Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production.
Answers
The strategies are listed below :-
☆ Animal husbandry :-
Animal husbandry is the branch of science that aims for human advantages in the practice of breeding, farming, and care of farm animals such as cattle, dogs, sheep, and horses. Animal husbandry refers to the raising of livestock and selective breeding. It is an agricultural branch. Animal husbandry is the care and management, for profit by humans of farm animals, in which genetic attributes and behaviour are further developed, considered to be beneficial to humans.
☆ Inbreeding :-
It refers to male-female breeding and 4 to 6 generations of the same breed. Superior males and superior females are chosen and mated for the same.

Inbreeding destroys undesirable genes, and develops superior genes.
☆ Outbreeding :-
It can be defined as the mating of animals that are not closely related. There may be three forms of this:
It can be defined as the mating of animals that are not closely related. There may be three forms of this: Out-crossing: It is a mating of the same breed, which have different ancestors. This helps to overcome depression from inbreeding.

This helps to overcome depression from inbreeding. Cross-breeding: It helps to combine two breeds with superior characteristics. Superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed for this reason.
☆ Fisheries :-
The rise in the development of fish and other marine animals is correlated with the Blue Revolution.
The rise in the development of fish and other marine animals is correlated with the Blue Revolution. Aquaculture is used for commercial use by breeding and rearing aquatic flora (fish, molluscs, crustaceans) and fauna (aquatic plants and algae). In the oceans, rivers, or lakes, extensive aquaculture is carried out, while intensive aquaculture is carried out in ponds and tanks.
there are many strategies for food enhancement such as
- Animal Husbandry
- Animal Breeding
- Inbreeding
- Outbreeding
- Bee-keeping (Apiculture)
- Fisheries
- Plant Breeding
