Answer 1

The two correct sustainable farming techniques from the options provided are:

1. **Rotating crops each year** - Crop rotation helps improve soil health, reduce soil erosion, and prevent pest buildup.

2. **Planting trees in between rows of crops** - This practice, known as agroforestry, can enhance biodiversity, improve soil structure, and provide additional benefits such as shade and habitat for various species.

The other options, such as frequent tilling and monocropping (planting a single crop over a large area), are generally not considered sustainable practices. Limiting agriculture to rural areas is not a farming technique per se.
