Multiple cropping

Multiple cropping is a type of farming that uses the same piece of land over and over again for growing different kinds of crops. This kind of farming is used to get the most out of a piece of land and to help provide more food for people. With multiple cropping, farmers are able to use the same piece of land multiple times during the growing season. For example, they can plant a crop of wheat, then wait until the wheat is harvested and replant a different crop like corn or beans. This way, the land is being used over and over again and farmers are able to produce more food than if they just used one crop on the same piece of land.
