Land Use Impact

Land use impact refers to the effects that different ways of using land—such as for agriculture, urban development, forests, or conservation—can have on the environment, economy, and communities. This can include changes in biodiversity, water quality, air pollution, and local economies. For instance, converting forests into farmland might benefit food production but could harm wildlife habitats. Understanding land use impact helps in making informed decisions about how we manage land, balancing development needs with environmental protection and sustainability for future generations.
