Traditionally,coffee bushes were plante
29、d under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长)trees. However,more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first,this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come increased pro
30、fits. Unfortunately,deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there. Furthermore,in the long term,the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertil
31、izers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant,but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well,and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink. Fortunate
32、ly,farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as shade grown and bird friendly.Sure,these varieties might cost a little more.

Technologies still need to be refined for the local conditions but a lot of the strategic research can have global
42、application,so that money can be used very efficiently.Dr. Fischer said. Yields of rice,wheat ad maize(玉米)have grown impressively in the past 30 years,especially in developing countries. For example,maize production rose from 2 to 8 tonnes per hectare between 1950 and 1995.But technologies driving t
43、his growth such as high-yield varieties,fertilizers,and irrigation,were becoming exhausted.If you want to save the land for non-agricultural activities,for forests and wildlife,youre going to have to increase yield.Dr. Fischer said. 36.What is the passage mainly about?A. Shortage of food supplies. B
