第四段 The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued. 第五段 Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert (回返)to forest or wilderness.
