In the past 20 years, agricultural production has increased threefold and the amount of irrigated land has doubled, notes a paper in the outlook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European commission.

解析
分析句子结构可知,空格所在句缺少谓语,因此应填入动词,且根据主语this及本文时态为现在时可知,该谓语动词应该使用第三人称单数形式。上文提到,机械化农业的扩张导致土地失去可持续发展的能力,再结合下文中的土地被撂荒可知,此处说的是随着时间的推移,土地生产力下降了,故E)diminishes“降低,削弱”为本题答案。
