One problem that is present
in the place I selected is intensive farming. Intensive farming is a method
used by farmers to produce the maximum amount of crops and livestock possible
for land to hold. The Piedmont region of North Carolina is popular for its
agriculture which causes constant usage of land. To make land available
deforestation takes place to supply farmers and businesses with this resource
which causes a high percentage of wildlife to lose habitats permanently. Not only is this an issue, but the constant usage
of land soil is stripped of its nutrients, there is an increase in the probability
of erosion, and there is a high chance of fertilizer and pesticide contaminating
water supply and food.
