2) To provide food the grassland and forest land has been converted into agriculture land to grow crops to provide food

Forests cover about 30 percent of the planet's land mass, but humans are cutting them down, clearing these essential massive scale .Increased urbanization is one of the major causes of deforestation. To meet residential and industrial requirements, such as for the development of housing on a mass scale besides, construction of roads, mineral exploitation and industrial expansion, forests are being cleared on a large scale.
