So says the Guardian headline. The solution is in the last lines of the piece:
Mr Campbell said: "If we can improve agricultural practices across the
board we can dramatically increase our food production from existing
lands, without having to clear more or put more pressure on soils.
Simple things like good crop rotation, sowing at the right time of
year, basic weed control, are what is needed. They’re very well known
but not always used."
Perhaps it is indeed a crisis but according to the experts one with a reasonably simple solution.
