0 a situation in which there are too many cows or other animals eating grass in an area, which damages the environment:
But if the return on capital goes down, capital becomes cheaper and this will encourage more investment in cattle which, in turn, leads to overgrazing.
For example, the team worked to prevent overgrazing.
With growing populations, resource depletion is accelerating, it is argued, resulting in widespread deforestation, overgrazing, biodiversity loss, soil erosion and soil fertility decline.
Inevitably, the purchase of more livestock in the situation of decreasing land, especially critical land, resulted in overgrazing and consequently land degradation.
These phenomena coupled with population pressure and overgrazing have finally become the main sources of the environmental degradation we presently observe.
The causes of degradation are poor agricultural practices, overgrazing, deforestation, commercialization and overexploitation of vegetation8.
The monthly harvesting treatment was intended to simulate overgrazing.
Overgrazing can, for example, lead to desertification; and overexploitation, to the collapse of fisheries and other resource systems.
