Cultivation for large scale vegetable production Ventura California 2005
In the Brown Tech scenario increased aridity and unreliable water supplies reduces production of grains and other staples causing governments to give priority of fuel, fertiliser and technology for agribusiness to ensure food security for large urban populations. Demand for fruit and vegetables from centralised market systems declines due to increasing poverty and more self reliance from home and community gardens Some land previously growing high value horticultural crops for national and global markets is converted to production of grains and other staples.
