Comment Comment by throw88888 > Modern industrial agriculture relies heavily on two crops per year on the same landDepends on how you define modern industrial agricilture I guess.From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_cropping“However, only 5% of global rainfed cropland is under multiple cropping, while 40% of global irrigated cropland is under multiple cropping.”Most farmland is rainfed. Only about ~20% is irrigated globally.That means less than ~10% of all farmland globally is double-cropped. parent throw88888 2 years ago
