The document discusses several farming practices that can negatively impact the ecosystem, including monoculture farming, use of insecticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. It defines monoculture farming as growing a single crop over large areas. It also defines insecticides as pesticides used to kill insects and herbicides as chemicals used to kill weeds. Chemical fertilizers are described as inorganic materials added to soil to support plant growth. The document asks students to identify whether several statements about the effects of these farming practices are true or false. It also assigns an interview of a local farmer about good farming practices.
