Agricultural impacts
Agricultural impacts refer to the effects farming and food production have on the environment, economy, and society. These include changes in land use, water resources, and ecosystems from planting crops and raising animals. Agriculture can lead to soil erosion, water pollution from fertilizers and pesticides, and greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. It also influences local economies, food security, and rural communities’ well-being. Sustainable practices aim to minimize negative impacts while ensuring enough food production to meet global demand.
