It's a loss of land. Population growth means an increased demand for homes and services. That kicks up the price for land, meaning farmers can't afford to buy it. But sometimes farmers can't afford not to sell their land.Farmers worldwide will need to increase crop production, either by increasing the amount of agricultural land to grow crops or by enhancing productivity on existing agricultural lands through fertilizer and irrigation and adopting new methods like precision farming.To facilitate the farmers to produce new farm inputs and enable them to sell their product in markets, villages should be linked with mandies. It would help to raise their income which in turn stimulates the farmer's interest to adopt better farm technology with sufficient income.Such management usually includes the selection of the proper crop to plant, the preparation of the land (soil), the efficient and right use of fertilizers and pesticides, and providing proper irrigation to the crop.Global population growth means that food production needs to increase by 70% by 2050, placing pressure on food quality standards. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) forecasts that global food production will need to increase by 70% if the population reaches 9.1bn by 2050.
