- Requires large area of fertile land
-Potential land degradation problems such as soil erosion make soil unstable, harder for tree to grow
-Fertilizer runoff can occur into waterways causing algae blooms to occur, this is where the algae expands which takes up most of the water and less sunlight would enter less plant and coral would grow which would affect the food chain as secondary and primary producers are not able to hide from predators. And it take up all the oxygen in the waterways so that animals in the seas are not able to have oxygen
