Agricultural expansion. During British rule in India, cultivation expanded rapidly. The British encouraged the production of commercial crops like jute, sugar and wheat. In 19th century, in Europe, food grains were needed to feed the growing urban population and raw materials were need for industrial purposes. So, between 1888 and 1920, cultivated area rose by 6.7 million hectares which mean the cutting of trees and destruction of forests.
