I learned that agriculture can increase its overall production by extensification or

intensification methods. Extensification methods are when the farmer increases the amount of

land that is being farmed which in return increases the amount of product he is getting.

Intensification methods are when the farmer increases his product yield without growing the

overall size of his operation. The farmer might use higher yielding seeds or different fertilizers.

Farmers started really using intensification methods in the 20th century and it proved to be very

beneficial. Farms have been able to quadruple their output while the input has remained the

same. Learning this shows me how the agricultural world is becoming more and more efficient

as the years go on. This also shows me that we are not having to put any more work in while we

are getting a lot more product out. With this increased amount of food production, we can try and

feed everyone in the world.

in the Creighton University School of Law and found it was founded in 1904. The school has

also been approved by the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar

of the American Bar Association. These are both very creditable associations and councils which

set the rules for legal education. Commented [gV2]: Who is the author? Is he/she credible
