The effect of food demand on agriculture and land in Brazil
Hello members,
This is a must see video that shows the widespread use of land in Brazil in order to produce food and other products for the growing population. It shows how the combination of traditional farming techniques combined with recent development in science and technology has helping corporations and farmers in Brazil to mass produce food from land with poor soil fertility. The video also cover other important issues such as the effect of human demand for food and other products on the natural environment and deforestation.
Please take a look at the video by visiting the following website:
