Land & Water Use

Reduction in pesticide use as a result of larger monoculture fields.

Increased carbon sequestration due to new plant growth.

Loss of habitat leading to decreased biodiversity.

Enhanced nitrogen fixation by an increase in legume planting.

It disrupts the life cycles of pests specific to certain crops.

It significantly increases short-term crop yield per hectare.

It allows for continuous monoculture without loss of biodiversity.

It enhances genetic modification transmission between crops.

Significant reduction in industrial discharges resulting entirely from improved pollution control technologies solely.

Increased nutrient runoff from heavily fertilized agricultural fields.

Decrease in phytoplankton blooms due largely towards lower sea surface temperatures only.

Higher initial cost and maintenance requirements.

Increased salinization of topsoil from excess water application.

Greater loss of water through evaporation.

Less precise water delivery to plant roots.

Introduction of genetically modified crops to increase yield

Implementation of buffer zones around rivers and streams

Subsidies for organic farming practices

Mandating minimum tillage across all farms

Lowered production costs due to reduced pesticide applications.

Development of pesticide-resistant insect pests.

Decreased reliance on chemical pesticides for farmers.

Improved nutritional content of the crops produced.

Improved air quality

Decrease herbicide usage

Increase water holding capacity

Increased soil erosion

Flood irrigation covering fields with thin layers of water.

Drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to plant roots.

Overhead sprinkler systems spraying large areas simultaneously.

Center pivot irrigation rotating around a central pivot point watering crops.

Terracing, to create flat areas that reduce runoff and soil erosion.

Overgrazing by livestock, which can lead to compacted soil and increased erosion.

Monoculture planting, where only one type of crop is cultivated over a large area.

Conventional tillage, which involves turning the soil to prepare for new planting.

Reduces erosion by leaving crop residue on fields.

Decreases biological diversity through compaction layers formation.

Increases nutrient leaching through more frequent irrigation.

Enhances decomposition rates by exposing more organic matter.
