Pros And Cons Of The Rainforest For The Agricultural Industry
Angela your post provided me with knowledge I never had before. I agree with you entirely. I think getting rid of the rainforest for agricultural industry would be a terrible idea. The rainforest provides us with so much that no where else in the world does. Even if the rainforest did not provide the world with important resources and species it would still be an unfit location to have an agricultural industry like the United States because of the climate and amount of rain fall they receive. Amazing

    The evolution of complex societies began when agricultural subsistence systems raised human population densities to levels that would support large scale cooperation, and division of labor. During the Archaic period, many Indians located in North America, in the highlands of Mexico spreading from north to east, adopted the new technologic practice of farming. Upon this new technology, the need for people to remain in close proximity to their agriculture led to the growth of established communities, which in turn cause a division in labor. At long last, uneven access, due to division in labor, to wealth and power ended in the surfacing of classes.…

    The Amazon Rainforest, located in the northern part of South America, is the largest rainforest on Earth, containing more than 60% of Earth’s fresh water, over 20% of oxygen on Earth, and huge amounts of carbon dioxide (ACEER). However, the Amazon Rainforest has been deforested principally in order to provide land for the locals who were homeless due to poverty, overpopulation, and government policies. Also, economic reasons such as providing land for cattle ranches, agriculture, logging, and mining (Maczulak) increased the rate of deforestation. In fact, since 1988, over 141,470 square miles of the Amazon Rainforest have been deforested (INPE). The imprudent use of the resources and land of the Amazon Rainforest is destroying the…

    Human beings have exploited the tropical rainforests for many years now for their abundance of resources and their biodiversity. The moist exploited is the Amazon rainforest which has already lost 20% of its area forever. Deforestation is the single biggest threat to the rainforest; the prime cause of it is cattle ranching. This is when land is cleared to provide space for cattle ranchers to herd their livestock to help increase beef production. This activity accounts for 60% of deforestation in Brazil, which is having a major effect on the biodiversity of the ecosystem. The impacts of deforestation are wide. In the Amazon there have been problems with increased forest fires, soil erosion and decreased biodiversity, caused by habitat loss. Subsistence farming is another factor…

    The Amazonian Rainforest is home to hundreds of indigenous plants, and animals, it is the largest terrestrial source of oxygen on earth and many amazonian products are used to create daily commodities each of which is sufficient reason to sustainably develop the Amazon. According to the fourth document “There are over 24 edible foods found in the Amazon Rainforest”. This means that there is an open food source in the Amazon which can be exploited in order to help feed the surrounding countries and make a profit. This shows the need to sustainably develop the Amazon Rainforest because if nothing is done and the area is just felled then those resources would have been wasted, but if the area is just protected then there will be a lost opportunity to help the local Amazonian communities gain income.…
