The Transforming fallow lands involves bringing land that is currently uncultivated back into agricultural production. This can be achieved through various methods, including improving soil fertility, enhancing irrigation, and introducing suitable crops. In India, for instance, significant areas of land are fallow, particularly after the rice harvest. Fallowing can help replenish soil nutrients, but applying appropriate fertilizers can accelerate the process and make the land immediately cultivable.
