Agricultural Expansion

Agricultural expansion refers to the process of increasing the amount of land used for farming and growing crops. This can occur through converting forests, grasslands, or other natural areas into agricultural fields. While expanding agricultural land can boost food production and economic growth, it often raises concerns about environmental impacts, such as deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and soil degradation. Balancing the need for more food with sustainable practices is crucial to ensure that agricultural expansion does not harm ecosystems or future agricultural productivity.
