5. Negative impacts on soils  including:
   - Loss of nutrients/fertility especially from reducing soil organic matter additions
   - Changes in soil structure and soil chemistry
   - Salination and alkalization from irrigation and inorganic fertilizers respectively
6. Eutrophication of water bodies from:
   - Inorganic fertilizer run-offs
   - Excess manure run-offs
7. Negative effect of applied chemicals including:
   - Loss of useful insects such as the pollinators
