Corporations are often accused of despoiling the environment in their quest for profit. Free enterprise is supposedly incompatible with environmental preservation so that government regulation is required.
Such thinking is the basis for current proposals to expand environmental regulation greatly. So many new controls have been proposed and enacted that the late economic journalist Warren Brookes once forecast that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could well become "the most powerful government agency on earth, involved in massive levels of economic, social, scientific, and political spending and interference.
But if the profit motive is the primary cause of pollution, one would not expect to find much pollution in socialist countries, such as the former Soviet Union, China, and in the former Communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. That is, in theory. In reality, exactly the opposite is true: The socialist world suffers from the worst pollution on earth. Could it be that free enterprise is not so incompatible with environmental protection after all?

Answer:
Fields should be bigger to feed more people, but they are smaller because people live on those lands.
Explanation:
A higher population density means that there are more people in an area. As there are more people, there is not enough space for all of them to live in the city, so new cities and towns emerge occupying the field's lands used for cattle raising and agriculture. There should be larger fields to feed all the population, but they become smaller because parts of them are now populated.
Answer:
Because of the fertile plains of the Danube River.
Explanation:
Slovakia and Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic) despite being part of a single country until three decades ago, and being neighbors with very close ties, have developed differently and their economies have a lot of differences. One of the biggest differences is that Slovakia has a highly developed agricultural sector while Czechia's is very small and doesn't contribute much to the economy.
s The reason for this difference is geography. Slovakia has a relatively large and very fertile plain, with the Danube River being a big plus in it. This provides Slovakia with enough area and very good conditions so that it can have a prosperous agricultural sector. Czechia, on the other hand, is almost entirely covered with mountains and hills, and the little area of the handfull of valleys is mostly urbanized, thus the country doesn't have what it needs to develop the agricultural sector.
