Answer:

Some modern farmers will occasionally allow fields to lie fallow to rest, but crop rotation has helped to increase productivity by replacing fallow periods with growing different crops that replenish soil nutrients. Crop rotation also helps to battle against the forces of erosion.

After deciding what to grow, farmers often till the land by loosening the soil and mixing in fertilizers, which are nutrient rich. Then, they sow seeds or plant seedlings. When the crops are growing, farmers must water (or rely on rainfall), weed and kill crop pests.

A “luxury crop” is a crop that is grown to serve some purpose other than sustaining human life. All of these crops are consumed for reasons other than nutrition and so are called “luxury crops.”

Answer:

A farmer would chose a luxury crop over a high caloric or nutritionally valued crop because a luxury crop would generate them more profit.

These are non-subsistence crops, ones that are not necessary to survive and be healthy, but luxury goods like the name implies. People are willing to pay more for them for this reason.
