Solution

1.It is essential to reduce the present rate of degradation and loss of productive farmland due to erosion, salinization, water logging, and nutrient depletion.
2. To increase productivity, reduction of loss from disease and pests, disease-resistant seeds, better storage facilities and improved transportation and HYV crop varieties should also be given focus
3.Agricultural practises like minimising the use of toxic chemicals, less intensive use of swidden land by increasing fallow times,zero tillage agriculture, retaining organic matter in untilled land, preserving soil fertility and preventing erosion and runoff should be adopted.
4.Governemnt should reform policies relating to water management, allocation, and distribution. For instance, by subsidising water use for agriculture, increasing incentives for water conservation.
5.Establishing regional agricultural research stations and soil experts to assist local farmers. This is absolutely essential since if farmers don’t know or understand the methods, productivity of the land can not be improved.
