Detailed explanation-1: -Over cultivation puts extreme pressure on land. This makes the farm unsustainable for further use which can cause permanent damage to soil fertility. Sometimes, the land becomes infertile to the point of desertification. Desertification itself has a different set of associated problems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agriculture contributes to a number larger of environmental issues that cause environmental degradation including: climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, dead zones, genetic engineering, irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation, and waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the last few decades, soil degradation has been sped up by intensive farming practices like deforestation, overgrazing, intensive cultivation, forest fires and construction work. These actions disturb soil and leave it vulnerable to wind and water erosion, which damages the complex systems underneath.

Detailed explanation-4: -Land clearance, such as clearcutting and deforestation. Agricultural depletion of soil nutrients through poor farming practices. Livestock including overgrazing and overdrafting. Inappropriate irrigation and overdrafting. Urban sprawl and commercial development. Vehicle off-roading. More items
