Answer:
Desertification, nutrients in the soil, access to water, tools made for agriculture, location, climate, water pollution, the production of the food product, etc.
Explanation:
There are many factors that contribute in the decision making of food choices and the growth and production of food. In able to have a productive farm, some farmers choose to use many workers, some choose to use large tools, like tractors and irrigation systems. If there is not enough water getting to the farm, in some places like California, they will make a system or transport the water to the farm. Climate and weather also play a big role. If the climate does not supply the right resources to the plants, they will not be able to grow properly. Some climates are able to grow certain plants better than in other regions. The process of the food production affects how some make their food choices. For example, some people dislike how animals are treated and cared for before they are used for meat. Then, these people make the decision to not eat meat at all or from some companies that mistreat their animals. When their is water pollution near-by farms, farmers will struggle to grow their crops. When chemicals, from these polluted water sources, travel through the soil to the farms, the crops die or are harmed. In places like Africa, with dry climates, they use one plot of land for growing crops, then move to another plot the next year, because the nutrients from that plot were used all up for growing those plants. Sometimes, they even burn the weeds and shrubs after the harvest because it provides the soil with nutrients. This method is called slash and burn.

Answer:
The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.
Asian elephants are extremely sociable, forming groups of six to seven related females that are led by the oldest female, the matriarch. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form larger herds, although these associations are relatively short-lived. In Asia, elephant herd sizes are significantly smaller than those of savannah elephants in Africa.
More than two-thirds of an elephant's day may be spent feeding on grasses, but it also eats large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favorite foods. Elephants are always close to a source of fresh water because they need to drink at least once a day.
In Asia, humans have had close associations with elephants over many centuries, and elephants have become important cultural icons. According to Hindu mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal. As they did so, nine jewels surfaced, one of which was the elephant. In Hinduism, the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesha, who is also called the Remover of Obstacles.
