After the push for mass production, this system was destroyed, leaving the tow nship with problems they had no precedent for. These events show how a change in production of goods (especially crops) can have disastrous effects on people and their environment. For my look into I set my heart on further exploring this relationship between humans participation in agriculture and its affects on the environment. Hence, I began my research trying to figure out what it is that people are doing to issue the world with fewer agriculturally usable lands.
