Ranching and Over Farming

THE BASICS

What is ranching and over farming?

Ranching is the practice of raising herds of animals on large tracts of land, commonly cattle and sheep in temperate, dry areas. Over farming is reusing farmland to its limit.

The Basics

OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUE

Overview

of the Issue

Deforestation, animal cruelty, and overgrazing are dangerous side affects of ranching and over farming.

THE CAUSE

The Cause

Over farming is mainly caused by the lack of good farming land and the need to feed more people than the harvest would allow. Ranching has similar causes because most of the

meat produced by

ranching is exported

to other countries.

This is happening because there the demand is higher

than the supply.

Why is this happening?

Commercial farming is an issue because they are exporting food they could use

to feed

themselves

Commercial Farming

THE EFFECT

The Effect

The main effect of over farming and ranching is deforestation

and environmental pollution

They need an abundance of land in order to ranch and farm, so they are clearing away the rainforest, polluting it with their machines as they go.

How is this happening?

SOLUTION

The Solution

A solution could be to set aside a specific amount of land for ranching so that there wouldn't be as much expansion. Crop cycling would fix many problems

by giving and

taking different

nutrients,

enriching the

soil.

SOLUTION
