How humans farm in a region is influenced by the physical geography elements (availability to water, climate, soil types, and landforms). Farmers' attempts to boost output in order to feed a population that is expanding at an ever-increasing rate have resulted in irrigation, terrace farming, deforestation, desertification, and the drainage of wetlands.
