Agriculture has both positive and negative impacts on the environment. While it provides food and raw materials essential for human life, certain practices can lead to soil degradation, deforestation, and water pollution. Excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides can harm soil health and contaminate water bodies. Overgrazing may cause soil erosion and loss of vegetation. However, sustainable agricultural practices such as organic farming, crop rotation, and efficient water management help protect natural resources. Understanding agriculture’s environmental impact helps promote balanced development and long-term ecological sustainability.
