The ecological impact of agricultural intensification includes the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and increased pollution. Intensive farming practices often lead to habitat destruction, which decreases ecosystem diversity and disrupts food webs. Chemical inputs, such as fertilizers and pesticides, can contaminate water sources and harm non-target organisms. Additionally, monoculture and overuse of land can lead to soil erosion and reduced soil fertility, creating long-term sustainability concerns for agricultural practices.
