Intensive use of natural resources in traditional agricultural and animal husbandry practices raises concerns about soil degradation, depletion of water resources, and loss of biodiversity. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides leads to soil erosion and pollution. Overgrazing and deforestation for pastureland diminish biodiversity and contribute to habitat loss. Such practices are unsustainable and threaten long-term food security and environmental health.
