A Study on Impact of Environment on Agriculture Development in Maharashtra

Agriculture is a major source of pollution in many countries. Pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil. Crop productivity is declining and agriculture has become unstable. There is a problem of feed for animals. Drinking water problem arises. Hail and untimely rains are causing damage to standing crops. Modern agriculture is an ever-changing approach to agricultural innovation and farming practices that help farmers increase efficiency and reduce the amount of natural resources needed to meet the world’s food, fuel, and fiber needs. In many parts of developing countries, agricultural solid waste is dumped or burned indiscriminately in public places, causing air pollution, soil contamination, generation of noxious gases, fumes and dust, and the residues run into water sources causing pollution.
