Answer:
Agricultural production of food has caused two major problems. These are degradation of land and deforestation of land.
Explanation:
1. Degradation of Land:
The degradation of land in one form or the other is matter of serious concern endangering sustainability of agriculture. Landslides caused by rains and flowing water in hilly areas and deforestation, overgrazing and faulty cultural practices in the forest and other plain areas expose the soil to water and wind erosions. As may be seen from Table. 1, out of total geographical area, 141.3 million hectare (10.3 per cent) area is subject to such water and wind erosions.
2. Deforestation:
Increase in population resulting in more demand for fuel wood and timber, indiscriminate siting of development projects forest fires and forest area in the recent past has not changed much because its diversion for non-forestry purposes has been more or less compensated by afforestation.
