On the other hand, agricultural development has some negative impacts on the environment. Firstly, agriculture is one of main sources of pollution in many countries. This is particularly the case for the excessive use of pesticides, fertilizers and toxic farm chemicals which can poison fresh water, soil, and air. Secondly, accelerating the development of agriculture has been caused a number of many rampant deforestations so far. This is because of the requirement of surging production, the demand for lands for farming is increased. For instance, according to recent survey by WWF in 2015, the world’s forest areas decreased 13% because farmers cleared new forest land for their farming after the government launched bold-sounding initiniatives for yield-enhancing.
