PROS AND CONS:
CONVERSION OF
AGRICULTURAL LANDS
TO INDUSTRIAL AREAS
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES :
Many Job Oppurtunities.
Long-range environmental benefits include wildlife habitat, clean air and water,flood
control,ground-water recharge and carbon sequestration.
Well-managed agricultural land supplies important non-market goods and services.
The rapid burst of population requires space to live and that can only be fullfilles by taking the
land used for other purpose. This also require conversion of agricultural land water bodies and
other lands surrounding the urban areas to be converted into habitats for people. the population
growth also require a large amount of food for the support which require food processing units
and many types of industries in the suburbs (Housing Projects)
MANY JOB OPPORTUNITIES
LONG-RANGE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS INCLUDE WILDLIFE HABITAT,
CLEAN AIR AND WATER,FLOOD CONTROL,GROUND-WATER RECHARGE AND
CARBON SEQUESTRATION.
WELL-MANAGED AGRICULTURAL LAND SUPPLIES
IMPORTANT NON-MARKET GOODS AND SERVICES.
HOUSING PROJECTS
DISADVANTAGES:
The land for agriculture become lessen.
Conversion of agricultural lands to the construction of industrial faculties can be regarded as total
mis appropriate and misplacement of priorities.
Shortage of food in the food supply chain to the citizens.
Deforestation will sets in, as a result of this the total removal of beneficial plants, bacteria and
fungus that filterates or supply nutrients to farmlands are totally or will be totally evacuated.
Unemployment in the Agric or agro allied industries sets in.
Natural disasters is in evitable in such a country(s) or societies. As we all know the importance of
trees to man and his environments in the breaking down of wind speeds and intensity . And in the
control of floods and erosions with the aid of holding firm the soil structures together.

BACK UP THEORIES AND
CONCEPTS OF SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
And the list goes on and on, on a daily basis. This was reflected in the Top 10 for 2011 (and
indeed, the top 10 for every previous year, too).
I’ll let you all in on a little secret though: all of those tips, all of those NetWorker basics
articles and how to use nsradmin user guides – they’re all just the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to getting a working backup system in place.
You see, a lot of sites don’t have a backup system at all – they just have some backup software
and backup hardware and configuration. That doesn’t represent a backup system at all. From
my article, “What is a backup system?“, I provided this diagram to explain such beasts:
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE TECHNOLOGY (THE BACKUP SOFTWARE, HARDWARE
AND CONFIGURATION) REPRESENTS RELIABILITY FROM
THE HUMAN AND BUSINESS FACTORS
The technology, you see, is the easiest part of the backup environment; and it’s
also the part that’s most likely to appeal to IT people. If you were to graph how
much time the average site spends on each of those activities, it would probably
look like this:
IS ANY AGRICULTURAL LAND
ELIGIBLE FOR LAND USE
CONVERSION?
The short answer is no. The long answer, however, is divided into three categories: convertible
lands, non-negotiable areas for conversion and highly restricted areas for conversion.
Agricultural lands eligible for conversion should be reclassified into non-agricultural uses
such as commercial, industrial and residential through the local government unit or via a
Presidential Proclamation, according to RA No. 6657 effective on June 15, 1988. For
agricultural lands reclassified before June 15, 1988, however, DAR’s guidelines on securing
an exemption clearance should apply.
Areas non-negotiable for conversion can be further subdivided into two categories. First are
agricultural lands classified under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) as
determined by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The second
category includes irrigated, irrigable land and agricultural lands with existing irrigation
facilities as delineated by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
Land use conversion is defined as the act or method of modifying the current physical use of a
parcel of agricultural land for either a non-agricultural purpose or the same agricultural use but
other than soil cultivation as well as growing of crops and trees as approved by DAR.
Defining the critical farmland could also be used as a mechanism for adjusting the scope of
agricultural land conversion. Its definition and identification will determine the magnitude of the
land area to be protected, the breadth or specificity of the program’s public purpose, and the socio-
political acceptability of using the definition to limit land conversion. Since the use of large areas
of privately-owned land may be restricted, it is essential that the final definition must have a broad
base of support and enjoy wide acceptance.
We seem to be increasingly aware of the fact that the exploitation of the earth, the planet on which
we are living, demands rational and honest planning. At the same time, exploitation of the earth
not only for industrial but also for military purposes and the uncontrolled development of
technology outside the framework of a long-range authentically humanistic plan often bring with
them a threat to man's natural environment, alienate him in his relations with nature and remove
him from nature.
The benifits of Agricultural land supplies products with little market value, but enormous
cultural and ecological importance. Some are more immediate, such as social heritage, scenic
views, open space and community character. Long-range environmental benefits include
wildlife habitat, clean air and water, flood control, ground-water recharge and carbon
sequestration. Well-managed agricultural land supplies important non-market goods and
services.
The reason for conversion is that the agricultural land is desirable for building because it tends
to be flat, well drained and generally is more affordable to developers than to farmers and
ranchers. Far more, farmland is being converted than is necessary to provide housing for a
growing population. the most often cited reason for land conversion was the zonification of
the property as a developmental zone. This suggests that properties located or adjacent to a
designated non-agricultural zone were more likely to shift from their existing land use. Hence,
it could be said that zoning tended to encourage more land conversions rather than controlling
them.
The benifits of industrial areas is center of economic life shifted from the villages to cities and
towns where the factories were situated.
Urban (cities) and rural (villages) life became dependent upon one another. Men became free to
develop their capabilities in areas other than farming. It brought countries and people together. There
was an international awareness among people because developments in one country influenced the
others. The aristocracy and nobility with their feudal ideas were replaced by the newly rich middle
class capitalists (bourgeoisie) who also became politically powerful. Better transport, communications
and mechanized goods made life comfortable for man.
The risk is risk is that the cities became crowded, smoky, with problems of slums, housing, sanitation,
accidents and epidemics. Women and child labor was badly exploited.Workers suffered from long
working hours, low wages, and unemployment, unsafe conditions of work, with no rights to vote
strike or form trade unions. Society, became divided into rich and poor, the 'Haves' and the 'Have-
Nots'. It led to wars of imperialism and colonization.
WHAT WE CAN AND WHAT WE
SHOULD DO?
DAR, together with the DA, DENR, DTI, DOST and other interest groups should organize a
national forum on the protection of critical farmlands. Defining the critical farmland could
also be used as a mechanism for adjusting the scope of agricultural land conversion. Its
definition and identification will determine the magnitude of the land area to be protected, the
breadth or specificity of the program’s public purpose, and the socio-political acceptability of
using the definition to limit land conversion. Since the use of large areas of privately-owned
land may be restricted, it is essential that the final definition must have a broad base of support
and enjoy wide acceptance.
POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DEAL
AND TREAT THE CONVERSION OF
AGRICULTURAL LAND TO INDUSTRIAL AREAS
1. Spare lands for Agricultural purposes
2. Industrial Areas may convert unused or barren lands that formerly used for planting
3. The Owner of the Industrial Areas that affects the agricultural lands must relocate them to
an area that is exclusive only for Agriculture Food Production and many more.
4. Have an activity like tree planting to prevent deforestation.
5. Study and observe first the area and consult an Agricultural Expert.
