Question: One of the major challenges facing agronomy in the future is
Options:
Excess rainfall
Increased pest pressure
Declining soil fertility
Lack of skilled labour
🔎 Agronomy Challenges:
🔸 Excess rainfall: While extreme weather events can be a challenge, increased rainfall wouldn't be a major global concern for agronomy. Some regions might benefit from it.
🔸 Increased pest pressure: This is a growing concern due to climate change, pesticide resistance, and other factors, but it's not the only or most significant challenge.
🔸 Declining soil fertility: This is a major threat to future food production as soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and unsustainable practices degrade agricultural land.
🔸 Lack of skilled labour: While attracting and retaining skilled workers is important, it's not the most fundamental challenge facing agronomy on a global scale.
