Land badly misused

According to Improving Land Use "Agricultural policies have a profound effect on land-use patterns. Decisions to subsidize the production of certain crops or inputs of course, intended to alter land-use patterns and to encourage producers to make their contributions in areas where there is an obvious national need. Thus countries with foreign exchange shortages seek to encourage the production of cash crops; those where food imports are high tend to encourage the production of food crops" (para.6). Abusing land had a lot of problems, and damage to our environment. Over thousands of years, people have increase number of people who people's apathy for the abusing land. The problem is that most people do not know about how the land badly misused can harm the environment. Moreover, there are a lot of landowners how do not have the right way for using the lands. In fact, there are some ways that can help to solve these problems which are taking care of the land, awareness campaign education, enforcing the law, and creating of organizations.

Abusing land is using the land for badly product. It is hard to define when the land badly misused started. There is not exactly time for beganaed. It was from the long time ago. The arguing could be between government and landowners who do not care about the lands. For example Brazil is a country with so much land rainforest that many countries are criticizing Brazil because they have been making tree species extinct. According to the Irish Times, "Many in Brazil's farming community are annoyed at international pressure to deny what they see as their right to exploit a natural resource”. The majority of countries criticizing Brazil for deforestation here are countries that have already chopped down their forests" ( para.13). These days, many country starts to discover the problem and they try to catch it before to getting bigger. Some business people who has many land, they just looking for the best way bring more money without caring what the land need to work on it.

First, taking care of the land is a great way to keep our environment to removing. Government should take control of land form the landowners that have not awarding for using the land. For example, government can buy the land from the landowners that have less experience in using it, because there are some people who do not care about their health land use. So, if we have some people who really do not care about the environment how can we fix the land badly misused problems? Therefore, usually the only one who can knows or controls the abusing land just the governments. They have able to learn what is happening in the future and they can quick plan to control the problem. They have to think about what is coming in the future, and they have to be already to face it. According to The Land Issue "If the land is misused, for example for nuclear waste disposal"; "they will do with the land what they want, and not what it's purpose is supposed to be"; "they will buy it for waste disposal and pollute it"; "they will build cottages"; "if there is no control, this land will be used for country-house building, it will be spoiled and everything will go wrong"(para.11). In fact, my country has suffered from this kind or problem, because it is impossible to make all people good or like what you want. Therefore, we have nothing to do except take care of it the big responsible for government is controlling the environment save.

Second, awareness campaign education is a good plan to change people who do not care about the environment. Because as we know that anything need to be done, also need some education, so we have like the abusing land problems we need to have some awareness by people like get people campaign education by explaining the abusing land problems, and damages, then they may realize this problem then they would focus on it. They might also try to solve it, because as it is important to the government it is also important to them. For example, as government we should show people the problem that we have been facing and suffering from, and show them the damages warning, even if it is small problem, we batter make it bigger than it is, because that will let them care of it, but if we make it smaller they will ignore it until becomes bigger. Education can be also plan to improve aware of people. It can be tech the children in the school because children education the fast way to learn the families and the parents. Everybody should learn the advantage and disadvantage of the environment from the school. There is one example that my country believes which is that one hand cannot clap, but the two hands can clap, that means that being united or gathering more people to find a solution is better than having lands useful. So, people help awareness campaign education is great way to solve not the land badly misused problems it is also a good way to solve any problems, because there would be a lot of helps, works, and new thoughts.

Third, enforcing the law is good way to people who really damage our environment. Enforcing the law is kind of punishment government can scare people who do not follow the rules. Most people do not believe in something until they see the events or see other people who have caught from the government. we do not have a solution for this issue except giving the fines or taking them to jail if the did something bad in the land. Therefore, this issue depends on the government's control, because if the government has a good control of people it may not have a lot of problems. So jail is the easy way to sacred the people who broking the rules. When they heard hat punishment the people who have bad behavior could stop or change their work on it. Government can put the persons who misused land short time in the jail; they may change their mind. According Improving land use" he most difficult but most important step in the whole process is to identify factors that can be manipulated by government to reverse the process of land degradation and improve land use. A variety of causes may be identified: growing the wrong crop on the wrong land; the land tenure system; the pricing structure for agricultural products; subsidies; incentives; taxes; or even outmoded laws or social customs. Governments may find it difficult to remove some constraints and changes may have to be phased in over a period of time." (para. 4). What the government should do is use strong law that makes people follow it. Enforcing the law is the fast way to control the people and the lands.

Finally, creating of organizations could be solution keep the lands safe. Government can create organization to distribution the land between the people. They can buy it for the farmers that know will work hard. According to "The Land Issue" "If they give it to the peasants, this is good"; "those who want to work the land will buy it"; "land will pass into the hands of those who are interested in getting more revenue from it"; "those who are willing to grow something, will do it actively"; "whoever wants to work land will do so"; "peasants will be working on their lands"; "those who are able to work, will work, and people will have a good living"; "those who really need land will buy it" (para.10). Therefore, the organizations should discover the lands for farms or industrial or builds or zoos or forests. Thus, the government should create organization for benefits of the land.

Opponents may say that the abusing land come from government and the entire problem is from the government. However, this is wrong; because if we think about it logically it is hard to see governments trying it damages their land. People should work with reform land hands to hands with the government to product food. Therefore, we should focus on the land badly misused problem, because it makes us suffer from many things such as less lands of farming, the less forests and less species. Therefore, what the government should do is enforce the law, take care of using lands, get people attention, and use the land with some thing useful. Using land perfect will safe the country of less poor people and less product food. In fact, if everyone cared about the environment, such as land farming or forest or anything is related to our environment, then we would have a great life.

In conclusion, we should focus on the problem of land badly misused, because it brings a lot of damages to our environment that we could not solve. Therefore, the government should take care of that by letting some people work on education or superintend the people who use their lands to using bad. We should also talk to the public about the any issue that we have to look at their thoughts and do what we thing is right. In fact, if everyone cares about the lands, government use it more carefully, education the landowners, using the enforcing the law or ordering of organizations, we will have a great life.
