Solve 1 upsc-p1-geography-world-agriculture-economic questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.
Practice questions
Q1Consider the following statements about climate and agricultural sustainability: 1. Irrigation can raise output while also depleting aquifers. 2. Climate-smart agriculture is confined to organic farming and excludes livestock or fisheries management. 3. A region with high crop yield is necessarily sustainable. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Only Statement 1 is correct. Irrigation can increase present output while mining groundwater. Climate-smart agriculture covers cropland, livestock, forests and fisheries and addresses productivity, adaptation and emissions; it is not limited to organic farming. High yield alone does not establish sustainability because water balance and ecological cost must also be assessed.
