discussion of the integral connection between population growth, the
corresponding demand for agricultural products, and the consequent
environmental impacts. Numerous examples are provided including the

The concept of globalization entails more than just cultural considerations. Indeed, central to this concept is our environment. Our environment is more imperiled today than it has
been at any time in our past and this danger can be attributed to our growing population. With the leaps and bound that world populations have made comes increased
impacts not only from direct forms of pollution and development but also indirect impacts. Agricultural pursuits are central to this consideration in both regards. As our growing population
demands more and more natural areas be converted to agricultural production in order to feed the masses, the direct and indirect impacts of this conversion threaten to destroy our environment
and to disrupt world ecology. The worlds gorwing population has impacted world ecology to the point where it would be an impossibility to
fully recover. Developmental activities which go hand-in-hand with population growth not only destroy natural areas but they replace them either with commercial silvaculture or agricultural areas which are a
poor replacement for the diverse natural forests and herbaceous wetlands or, even worse, with impermeable rooftops and parking lots or sterile lawns which do little toward runoff purification and which,
in reality, add to both the volume of the runoff and its pollutant load. The oils and other contaminants which are contributed to our parking lots by our automobiles
and to our rooftops from our polluted atmosphere, plus the chemical fertilizers and pesticides we add to commercially grown forests , our agricultural lands, our lawns and to our golf
courses and other areas channel the runoff and flow in many cases directly to our natural wetland and streams and from there into our valuable groundwaters and do irreversible damage
