Urbanization can lead to increased pressure on rural land for development and infrastructure. This can result in the conversion of agricultural land to urban use, leading to reduced agricultural productivity and loss of natural habitats. It can also impact rural communities by influencing their social and economic dynamics.
Agriculture and urbanization both involve significant changes to the environment. Agriculture usually requires clearing land for cultivation, while urbanization involves transforming rural land into developed areas like cities and towns. Both have impacts on water resources, biodiversity, and overall land use patterns.
