Impact of growing population in agricultural resource management: exploring the global situation with a micro-level example

While land use practices often vary greatly across the world, their ultimate purpose usually remains the same for us to having extracted the natural resources for instant societal need, knowing clearly the severe impact of it on environment. A decade ago, David Pimental and his associates (1998) rep...

A decade ago, David Pimental and his associates (1998) reported to us that that at least ten million hectare of arable land is now being eroded and also abandoned throughout the world every year, and consequently to compensate such loss, a huge amount of replacement is claimed from forest and other sources for agriculture and human settlement.
