Pollution has a significant impact on farming, affecting both the quality and quantity of crops produced. The impact of pollution on farming
Polluted soil can reduce crop fertility, quality, and yield due to the accumulation of chemicals like heavy metals, pesticides, and fertilizers.
Contaminated water used for irrigation affects crop growth and health. Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial waste in water can harm crops and reduce yield.
Airborne pollutants, like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, can reduce crop yields and cause respiratory issues for humans and animals living near farms.
Pollution leads to extreme weather and climate change, which can reduce crop yield and quality through floods, droughts, and heat waves.
Pollution can lead to the loss of plant and animal species, which can affect crop pollination and reduce genetic diversity in crops.
