A) poorer soil in new crop-growing regions
B) increased insect populations
C) decreased UV radiation resulting from increased ozone
D) lack of irrigation water in some areas
UV Radiation
is ultraviolet light from the sun, which can cause sunburn and has significant implications for both human health and the environment.
Food Production
Food production encompasses the processes involved in getting food from the farm to the consumer's table, including farming, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Decreased UV radiation resulting from increased ozone is unlikely to affect food production as it is a positive outcome that can benefit crops. UV radiation can damage plants, and with decreased UV radiation, crops may have a better chance of survival and production.
