Declining or Waning

There has been a noticeable decrease in studies examining rural-urban migration patterns, which may be overshadowed by more pressing issues related to food security and climate change. - Historical Agricultural Policy Analysis:
While historical perspectives are valuable, there has been a waning interest in purely historical analyses of agricultural policies, with more emphasis now on contemporary issues and forward-looking solutions. - Conventional Crop Production Practices:
