Environmental impact of farming

कृषि का पर्यावरणीय प्रभाव

In this Class 9 Agriculture topic from “Agriculture and Environment,” students explore how farming affects soil, water, air, biodiversity, and climate. They examine problems linked with excessive fertilizers and pesticides, soil erosion, over-irrigation, crop residue burning, and loss of habitats. The topic also introduces practical approaches such as crop rotation, balanced nutrient use, organic matter management, integrated pest control, water conservation, and other sustainable farming practices that help protect natural resources while supporting food production.
