Environment and Development : Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

But for environmental reasons, such as fertilizers and chemicals, the Green Revolution was criticized that poisoned soil and waters causing eco-and human health damage. In addition, without proper drainage facilities, irrigation tends to degrade soil due to salinity and the logging of water.

However, if efforts to develop modern technology were abandoned for all of these reasons, jobs and incomes would gradually disappear for marginalized and landless agriculture workers, in the face of increasing pressures on land by the population. As a result, many residents will be driven into ecologically fragile areas, which would lead to an increased rate of flooding and soil erosion.

The deficiencies of current agricultural technology must therefore be resolved by improving scientific study. Moreover, the distribution of agricultural technology to favorable production environments with good irritating conditions is not restricted by the straitness of things. Instances such as agro-forests and complementary use of arable grounds and grass lands can, in turn , improve productivity and environmental protection in vulnerable areas.

The poor are first at risk of environmental degradation, both in rural and urban areas. If this damage to the poor coincides with an unequal distribution, the foundation for economic growth will be seriously undermined by social and political stability. If left unchecked, pollution-related environmental degradation tends to advance cumulatively and has devastating consequences over time. The lowering of Kuznets environmental peaks to sustain economic growth is therefore of strategic importance to developing countries.

Industrialization and Urbanization emissions could, if technology and knowledge acquired in developing countries were effectively applied to the former in a much lower way than that encountered in the past in developed economies. The development of institutions and policies for promoting the use of pollution control technologies is not much difficult to counteract environmental degradation.

The key problem with the environment is the divergence between private and social costs in environmental use which leads to over-utilization of environmental resources or their exploitation beyond socially optimal. Thus, the environmental problem can be solved by raising the private cost of environmental use compared to social costs (for example, the discharge of noxious gas into the air).
