Clue 5
Agriculture and farming
Agriculture is a threat to environment when too much land is used for farming of animals and crops.
As the human population continues to grow, so too has the amount of space needed to feed us all.
In 2016, more than 1.7 billion acres were devoted to growing corn, wheat, rice, and other staple cereal grains- that's nearly half of all cultivated land on the planet!
A solution could be sustainable agriculture. This means trying to find a good balance between the need for food production and preserving the environment.
