creates farmlands now suitable for growing
crops and raising livestock. The reading
passage states that this provides more food for
people and can benefit the economy. The
professor believes there are flaws in the
author’s position. He contends that it is not
necessary to destroy rainforests for land to
farm. He goes on to say that there are
advanced technologies that allow for
alternative ways to farm without soil.
