The correct option is B Only statement (ii) is incorrect.
∙ Food security depends upon both, the availability of food and access to it. Just over production does not guarantee food security. People should have money to buy food for themselves.
∙ Mixed farming involves the growth of multiple plants simultaneously on the same field. This increases the quality of soil, if leguminous plants are grown along with crops.
∙Fertilisers like urea are commercially produced plant nutrients to increase the quantity of yield in less duration.
