Ecological Impacts

Potential ecological impacts of industrial crop production:

● Soil erosion● Decrease in bee populations● Emergence of pesticide-

resistant weeds● Aquatic dead zones● Depletion of phosphorous

and fossil fuels● Depletion of groundwater

The 1930s Dust Bowl demonstrated the devastating potential of soil erosion. See the Crop Production primer for details. Photo credit: NOAA, 1935. Public domain.
