Solution
The correct option is A True
Every day the world’s population increases by more than 200,000 people. 1 billion people were added in the last 10 years. The amount of farmland per person is declining every year. There is very little undeveloped farmland left, most of the arable land has already been cultivated. Much of the remaining land is either desert (or too dry for farming), ice (or too cold for farming) or forest (which is required as a carbon sink to help mitigate the effects of global warming).
