摘      要：Introduction Agriculture could be defined as the human activity of obtaining a larger volume of food and raw materials from a limited land area in order to sustain a growing population. To accomplish this, humans must transform an ecological system of nature into a partly man-made ecological system of arable land. In this ecological system of arable land, crops that require human assistance are predominant, and any other wild species are generally considered undesirable, and so are removed. There are significantly fewer species in an ecological system of arable land than in an ecological system of nature, and the interrelationship among species is weaker. Given these facts,agriculture is in effect accompanied by the destruction of nature, and cannot be said to contribute to the protection of the environment.
