What environmental problems will be if we use too much land resources?

Land is the backbone of agricultural production. People are constantly striving to increase the area of ​​land that will be suitable for “harvest”. The plowing of the territory for fields, building buildings, etc., led to the disruption of the natural process of soil formation, to erosion processes. In arid regions, the process of land desertification begins. The most harmful is soil pollution with all kinds of chemical and biological components. Soil pollution with “plant protection”, radioactive emissions and other modern factors indicate that in the next 30-50 years, fertile land will be reduced by almost 1000 billion hectares, and forests by 450 million hectares.
