Suggest possible solutions that would reduce the impacts of nutrient and pesticide runoff, while incorporating the three considerations of human sustainability. In other words, come up with a solution that would reduce ecological impacts of pesticide and nutrient runoff, while allowing farmers to ultimately meet their income needs in a socially equitable way (does not exploit anyone in the process). • Show less

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
