Answer: Look at the explanation.

Explanation: An environmental consequence could be our land. The more land we use for agriculture results in loss of biodiversity. Slash-and-burn kills many trees and plant life. These trees are home to many small animals and now they are homeless and will die unless they adapt and find a new land. A social consequence could be food deserts. Food deserts are caused by and increase poverty and starvation. Nonexistent stores in rural areas do not help the population. People starve and barely have another way of getting healthy food. They rely on fast food chains which do not help with health.
