Farming affects several of Earth's systems. The affected systems include:
1. **Atmosphere** - Farming practices can impact air quality through emissions from machinery, use of fertilizers, and livestock production, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
2. **Biosphere** - Agriculture directly affects the biosphere by altering habitats, impacting biodiversity, and changing ecosystems due to land conversion for crops and livestock.
3. **Geosphere** - Farming can change the geosphere through soil modification, erosion, and land use changes that affect landforms and soil health.
4. **Hydrosphere** - Agricultural activities can influence the hydrosphere through water use for irrigation, runoff of fertilizers and pesticides into water bodies, and changes in natural water flows.
Therefore, all four systems—Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere—are affected by farming.
1. **Atmosphere** - Farming practices can impact air quality through emissions from machinery, use of fertilizers, and livestock production, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
2. **Biosphere** - Agriculture directly affects the biosphere by altering habitats, impacting biodiversity, and changing ecosystems due to land conversion for crops and livestock.
