How did commercial farming affect forests?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: बाजार के लिए फसलें उगाने हेतु जंगलों को साफ किया गया

Commercial farming involved growing cash crops such as cotton, jute and tea for sale in markets. Large areas of land were needed, so under colonial rule many forests were cleared and converted into farmland. The demand for timber for railway sleepers was another cause of deforestation, not an effect of commercial farming. Exam tip: link commercial cultivation with market expansion when explaining deforestation.
