Solution:

The livestock industry is one of the largest contributors to global warming, due to the large proportion of greenhouse gases from this activity. The consequences of climate change are changes in ecosystems and desertification, melting of the poles and rise in sea level, acidification of the oceans, extreme weather events, and extinction of species. The damage to the planet's climate, desertification, and droughts produce shortages of water and vegetable crops, which greatly affect the health of human beings.

Regarding the negative effects of agricultural farming, there are soil erosion, elimination of native species, deforestation, contamination of water sources, and the generation of greenhouse gases.
