"Massive use of irrigation, fertilizers and mechanization
However, this type of culture is much less favorable for the environment. “If reforestation such as that observed on the Great Green Wall or in the countries of Eastern Europe increases the storage of CO2, it is not the same for cultivated fields, including the CO2 they absorb is quickly released into the atmosphere, ”explains Victor Brovkin, of the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology and co-author of the study. On the other hand, this intensive agriculture has largely developed at the cost of increased crop rotation, untimely pumping of underground water tables and massive use of fertilizers and pesticides. The two countries are thus the leading consumers of fertilizers in the world, and Brazil is following exactly the same trend (the latter also encroaches on its primary forests to extend its crops). If more greenery leads to depleted water supplies, depleted soils and polluted rivers, there is nothing to celebrate. "
