Why should the farmers not leave the land of farm bare after a harvest?
Actually they often do leave the land unplanted. Some crops remove minerals from the soil and the land needs to sit for a bit unplanted. It is called fallow land when this is done. Answer Farmers may find that planting "cover crops," which are crops grown for a short time and then plowed under is more advantageous than bare soil. Depending on the crop chosen, doing this can add nitrogen and other nutrients back into the soil. This may also prevent loss of topsoil due to wind erosion.
Economic reforms have an adverse effect on food security?
Banning of food exports in order to lower local food prices damages the livelihood of local farmers and discourages them from producing food. Which can lead to decreased food production and decreased food security. Providing subsidies to local farmers in order to disadvantage foreign farmers can decrease food security in poor countries who can't afford to subsidize their farmers to the same extent. Putting up tariffs and taxes on imports and exports of food in order to manipulate food prices in favor of consumers often puts farmers at a disadvantage and discourages them from producing food. Which decreases food security. It's not so much economic reforms that decrease food security as it is manipulation and interference in food markets in order to damage the livelihood of some farmers for short-term benefit of consumers or for long-term benefit of some other farmers.

What method allowed soil to recover from cash crop production but was impossibe foor poor farmers?
Spreading over the soil with animal manure, which replaces nutrients and adds humus and texture to the soil. Allowing some ground to lay fallow for a season, which also prevents top soil blowing away. Growing a crop of clover, peas, field beans, etc, that is ploughed into the ground and is known as green manuring. All of which subsistence farmers would be unable to do.
Why do farmers not get paid as much as they should?
Some farmers make a great deal of money. If no farmer received "as much as they should" we would have no farmers. Many farmers do so as a hobby. We only have a hundred acres or less and do not expect to make our living on farming. It is a hobby for us and we can do alright. Hay cost about $1.00 a bale to make and I get $3.75 currently. Can you triple money in a season? Farmers can do well and the wealth is in the land and property they own. There are many professions that pay worse per hour and the way of life is not as great.
