Agricultural expansion refers to the increase in land used for farming and the production of crops and livestock. This process often involves converting forests, grasslands, or other natural areas into farmland to meet the growing demand for food and other agricultural products. This expansion can lead to higher yields and improved food security, but it may also result in environmental challenges, such as habitat loss and soil degradation. Sustainable practices are essential to balance the need for increased agricultural output with the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity.
