Environmental Impact of Tobacco Cultivation

Tobacco cultivation impacts the environment by requiring significant land, water, and energy resources. It often involves deforestation, which destroys habitats and reduces biodiversity. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can contaminate soil and water sources, harming wildlife and communities. Additionally, curing tobacco involves burning large amounts of wood, contributing to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, tobacco farming can lead to environmental degradation, affecting ecosystems and resource availability for future generations.
