Unsustainable agriculture refers to farming practices that deplete natural resources, harm the environment, and have negative long-term effects on food production. Overuse of pesticides, on the other hand, means applying excessive amounts of these chemical substances intended to kill pests or diseases in agriculture, posing risks to human health, biodiversity, and ecosystems.
