Farming changes the environment
- Modern agriculture feeds billions but harms the environment.
- Soil erosion 土壤侵蚀 strips fertile topsoil when land is overused.
- Fertiliser run-off pollutes rivers and causes eutrophication 富营养化.
农业改变环境
- 现代农业养活数十亿人,但破坏环境。
- 土壤侵蚀(soil erosion)在土地过度使用时剥离肥沃表土。
- 化肥流失污染河流并造成富营养化(eutrophication)。
Fertiliser run-off causing algae blooms that starve fish of oxygen is called... · 化肥径流导致藻类爆发并耗尽鱼类氧气，这被称为……
Eutrophication · 富营养化 is nutrient pollution that depletes oxygen in water. · 富营养化是指消耗水中氧气的营养污染。
Land and water
- Clearing land for farms drives deforestation and loss of habitat.
- Overgrazing and overfarming in dry lands cause desertification 荒漠化.
- Irrigation can drain rivers and aquifers faster than they refill.
土地与水
- 为农场清理土地导致森林砍伐和栖息地丧失。
- 干旱土地上的过度放牧和过度耕作造成荒漠化(desertification)。
- 灌溉可使河流和含水层枯竭的速度快于它们的补充。
Overgrazing and overfarming in dry lands can turn them to desert, a process called . · 干旱地区的过度放牧和过度耕作可能使其变成沙漠，这一过程称为。
Desertification degrades dry land into desert. · 荒漠化将干旱土地退化为沙漠。
Chemicals and diversity
- Pesticides can harm helpful insects, birds, and human health.
- Growing only a few crops reduces biodiversity 生物多样性.
- Monoculture leaves crops more vulnerable to pests and disease.
化学品与多样性
- 农药可危害有益昆虫、鸟类和人类健康。
- 只种少数作物减少了生物多样性(biodiversity)。
- 单一栽培使作物更易受害虫和疾病影响。
Which environmental harm? · 哪种环境危害？
Sort each impact by the environmental harm it describes. · 将每种影响按其所描述的环境危害进行分类。
Growing only a few crop types reduces biodiversity and increases pest risk. · 仅种植少数几种作物会降低生物多样性并增加害虫风险。
Monoculture lowers biodiversity and makes crops vulnerable. · 单一种植降低了生物多样性并使作物易受侵害。
Select all · 所有 environmental harms of modern farming. · 选择现代农业生产的所有环境危害。
Erosion, pollution, and biodiversity loss are harms; farming does not create clean rivers. · 侵蚀、污染和生物多样性丧失是危害；农业不会创造清洁河流。
Match each harm to its category. · 将每种危害与其类别匹配。
Erosion = land; eutrophication = water; lost variety = biodiversity. · 侵蚀 = 土地；富营养化 = 水体；品种丧失 = 生物多样性。
These harms are the price of high output, not accidents. More food from the same land often means more chemicals, more water, and more cleared habitat. Sustainable farming tries to keep the yield while cutting the environmental cost — a genuine trade-off.
这些危害是高产的代价,而非意外。同样的土地产出更多粮食,往往意味着更多化学品、更多水、更多被清理的栖息地。可持续农业试图在保持产量的同时削减环境代价——一种真实的权衡。
Heavy fertiliser use boosts yields, but the run-off flows into a river, feeding a huge algae bloom (eutrophication) that starves fish of oxygen. The same practice that grew more food damaged the water — a direct environmental consequence.
大量使用化肥提高产量,但流失物流入河流,喂养巨大的藻类爆发(富营养化),使鱼类缺氧。种出更多粮食的同一实践损害了水——一个直接的环境后果。
Modern agriculture causes soil erosion, eutrophication from fertiliser, deforestation, desertification, water depletion, and lost biodiversity. These are the environmental price of high output — sustainable farming aims to keep yields while cutting the cost.
现代农业造成土壤侵蚀、化肥导致的富营养化、森林砍伐、荒漠化、水资源枯竭和生物多样性丧失。这些是高产的环境代价——可持续农业旨在保持产量同时削减代价。
