SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔Why is it necessary for agricultural practices to continue changing? - ✔✔As the
world population grows, we need to be able to make food at a good constant rate to
avoid hunger
✔✔What agricultural engineering technologies do today's farmers use to increase food
production and quality? - ✔✔They use biotechnology such as cross breeding or genetic
