Practices that allow for the use of land resources without degrading them for future generations.

To protect and improve soil health by preventing erosion and adding organic matter.

Methods that minimize bycatch, protect habitats, and allow fish populations to replenish.

Setting catch limits, establishing marine reserves, and enforcing fishing laws to protect fish populations.

Loss of ecosystem services, increased vulnerability to environmental changes, and potential economic losses.

Loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystem functions, and increased risk of species extinction.

Harm to aquatic life, contamination of drinking water sources, and potential health risks for humans.

Loss of fertile topsoil, reduced agricultural productivity, and increased sedimentation of waterways.

Increased soil erosion, reduced carbon sequestration, and loss of habitat for wildlife.

Reduced food security, economic losses for farmers, and increased poverty.

Too many livestock on too little land, exceeding the land's carrying capacity.

Fertile land turning into desert-like conditions.

Removing fish faster than they can reproduce.

Soil becoming too salty.

Clearing land by cutting and burning vegetation.

Creating flat areas on hillsides for farming.

Supplying water to crops.

Raising livestock and moving with herds.

The maximum number of individuals an environment can support without significant negative impacts.

Protecting natural resources and the environment.

Causes: Too many livestock. Effects: Soil erosion, vegetation loss, water quality issues, reduced land productivity.

Causes: Climate change, overgrazing, poor land management, deforestation. Effects: Loss of productivity, increased poverty, social instability.

Causes: Removing fish faster than they can reproduce. Effects: Reduced biodiversity, habitat destruction, economic losses.

Causes: Pest control in agriculture. Effects: Harm to wildlife, water pollution.

Causes: Irrigation with salty water, poor drainage. Effects: Reduced crop yields, loss of biodiversity.

Causes: Clearing land for agriculture. Effects: Carbon dioxide release, soil erosion, habitat loss.

Causes: Supplying water to crops. Effects: Water shortages, groundwater depletion, soil salinization, water pollution.

Causes: Increase farmland. Effects: Decreases biodiversity, disrupts ecosystems.

Causes: More variety, new foods, different preparation methods. Effects: Shift in purpose from individual consumption to global, profit-driven economy.

Causes: Creating flat areas on hillsides for farming. Effects: Allows farming on steep slopes, reduces soil erosion, retains moisture.
