Reengineering Agricultural Land System for Food Security in a Depressed Economy

Abstract

Food security remains a critical challenge, particularly in depressed economies where agricultural productivity is hindered by environmental degradation, limited technological advancement, and inadequate investment. This study examines the urgent need to reengineer agricultural land systems as a means of enhancing food security in these economies. Reengineering involves redesigning and optimizing agricultural systems by integrating modern technologies, sustainable practices, efficient resource management, and robust policy interventions. Key strategies include adopting precision agriculture, biotechnology, and advanced irrigation systems, alongside sustainable techniques like crop rotation, agroforestry, and integrated resource management. Overcoming socioeconomic barriers, building capacity through knowledge exchange, and fostering community engagement are also crucial components. By radically transforming agricultural land systems through a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach, it is possible to increase productivity, build resilience against environmental stressors, and ultimately ensure sustainable food production amid economic challenges.
