Answer: Agriculture is increasingly harming the environment for multiple reasons. One being deforestation. Deforestation reduces ecological services it provides humans produces large amounts of Carbon Dioxide which adds to greenhouse gases -> which add to our current problem with climate change. Additionally, the pesticides and fertilizers agriculture uses can be harmful to the nearby ecosystems as it can end up in surrounding rivers which causes it to cycle back.
