    Deforestation is the removal of trees and clearing of forestland purposefully by mankind. Throughout the span of human existence, forests have been cleared for many reasons. It could be to make space for fields and agriculture, animal grazing, to get wood for fuel, manufacturing and/or construction. Now-a-days, the largest amount of deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforests; this was due to the road construction that go into regions that was once almost not accessible. Deforestation is not good for the environment because it destroys ecosystems, threatens the worlds biodiversity and releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air. While this damage can be permanent, in North America (an example) is restoring their forests by conservation efforts.

These benefits include sustainability, reduction of non renewable energy, no use of GMO's, etc. In organic farming, they use different practices than in traditional farming, which eliminates plenty of wastes and other things that are detrimental to our environment.      In my opinion, all farming should be organic. The reason it isn't is because industrial faring allows for crops and meats to be mass produced, but it is terrible for the environment. If we could do away with industrial farming and all convert to organic farming, it would be much better for our environment.
