Read the given source and answer the questions that follow: 4 In the agricultural heartland of Punjab, a region known as the "Granary of India,” soil erosion has become a pressing concern. Farming practices, including monoculture and heavy mechanisation, have led to increased vulnerability to soil erosion, Soil erosion poses a significant threat to agricultural sustainability in a region heavily dependent on its agricultural output. The Green Revolution transformed Punjab into a major food- producing region through the adoption of high-yielding crop varieties and intensive cultivation but it is only these methods that are leading it towards destruction. Excessive usage of chemical fertilisers have destroyed the fertility of the soil. The fertile topsoil, essential for crop growth and yields, is being eroded by wind and water at an. alarming rate because of intensive irrigation and cultivation. This not only affects the livelihoods of farmers but also raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of agriculture.
