How does agriculture affect the environment?
1 Answer
Explanation:

Content: Thus, the soil degrades over time. If we're in areas with heavy rainfall, replacing forests with cropland often results in an increase in flooding. Another problem has to do with the amount of water some crops require. Agriculture is the industry with the largest water consumption. It takes a tremendous amount of freshwater to grow crops and feed for other animals that we consume. Sometimes we use too much water and sometimes we try to grow plants in environments that aren't suited for them, using more water than we would if we had grown them in an environment more like what that crop would typically be found in.
