Farming invariably interferes with the habitats of plants and animals. However, this does not necessarily mean that agriculture and biodiversity are incompatible.

In fact, quite the opposite is true. The sustainable cultivation of plants for food and feed actually enables us to preserve biodiversity.

By 2007, there were more than twice as many people living on the planet as there were in 1961. Over the same period, the total amount of available arable() land grew by just 10 percent. In comparison with population growth, the expansion of arable land was small. And there are limits to further expansion. A large proportio n of the earth’s surface-like deserts-is not suitable for cultivation, and other areas are utilized by humans for roads and buildings. Some land that is rich in biodiversity needs to be preserved and thus should not be converted into arable land. The tropical rain forests, for example, have the highest species density in the world, and changing this land for crop cultivation would be dreadful to these species’ habitats and, indeed, existence.

By 2050, global demand for food will have risen by 70 percent. But the expansion of land available for cultivation has its limits. This is one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture today: How do we balance the increased demand for food with the need to maintain biological diversity, now and in the future?

Efficient and sane use of land will be key to preserving natural animal and plant habitats. To achieve this aim will depend to a(an) considerable extent on the use of modern agricultural methods. If these methods are successfully applied, we believe that agriculture and biodiversity can coexist in harmony.

1.Stereotypes have some truth mixed in with a few generalizations. Sometimes these generalizations can be misleading as they are often based on observation of the exterior behavior of people in a certain culture. Spaghetti, pasta, mafia(黑手党), gestures, fashion-these are some words commonly used to describe Italians. How much truth is there in the stereotype? As an Italian myself, I will give you some insights

into the Italian soul and clarify some misunderstandings that foreigners have about us.

Spaghetti and pasta are sacred. You can’t take pasta away from an Italian meal; otherwise it won’t be c omplete. A typical Italian meal generally includes pasta as a starter, fish or meat with salad as the main course, followed by fruit or dessert, and then coffee. But there are considerable regional differences in Italy, and hence inconsistencies exist between the stereotype and reality. For instance, you might find risotto(加有肉、鱼或蔬菜的调味饭) replacing pasta in some places!

The Mafia is real: We are not proud of it, but it does exist, especially in the South and on the island of Sicily. Obviously, not every Italian is a member of the Mafia, and most will be offended if you use the term, even if you are just joking. Yes, the way we speak is unique. Italians use gestures a lot in communication. We simply cannot talk without our hands. If the hands are busy doing something else, we start moving shoulders or other parts of the body.

We are also fashion victims. You can recognize Italians by the way they dress from head to toe. We wear stylish clothes and ornaments for every possible occasion. You won’t ever see an Italian wearing running shorts combined with long socks: It’s simply against our sense of style!

Italy is made up of many regions and provinces which are similar in some ways and distinctive in others. The stereotype contains some truth, but being Italian takes a lot more than that.
