A way to grow more food on the same piece of land is for farmers to practice multiple cropping, defined as growing multiple crops sequentially, within a year. Multiple cropping can increase production and income and has additional benefits – increased crop diversity, improved functioning of agricultural systems, spare land for biodiversity or other uses and reduced use of inorganic fertiliser and pesticides. A CSIRO study found that increasing multiple cropping in suitable areas could lead to up to 30% more global food production without additional agricultural land. Many low- and middle-income countries in Africa, South America, and Asia have potential for increasing multiple cropping which could support food supply and food security https://research.csi

A company named Braskem collaborated with American and Brazilian scientists to create a type of plastic that can change its color depending on рН levels. It can be used to produce packaging for perishable foods. Soon we will see for ourselves how fresh the milk in a supermarket really is.Sources:https://bit.ly/337AQYihttps://bit.ly/2P33e5S
