29、e crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer(合成肥料) each year, and all that nitrogen(氮) enables much faster plant growth.

For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetablesall of which provide the worlds main calories

So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholdi

The purpose of the passage is to _.A. compare two types of farmingB. criticize conventional agricultureC. discuss the development of farmingD. argue for a realistic agriculture system 33.
