Investigations on human practices on the environment concluded
that, the agricultural practices characterized by applying inappropriate
farming methods with agricultural expansion has led to environmental

environmental issues. Likewise, our activities are the major reason that
the level of harmful gases and pollutants have increased in the
environment.
