Question 6

Some environmental planning guidelines for a new agricultural expansion project in the Vale of York are shown below:

  • Soil testing and nutrient management must be conducted to prevent fertilizer runoff into local watercourses.
  • Existing hedgerows and wild field margins must be preserved to support pollinator corridors.
  • Water abstraction for crop irrigation must not exceed sustainable limits set for the local aquifer.
  • Heavy machinery traffic must be restricted to designated tracks to prevent widespread soil compaction.

Assess how far agricultural intensification has been the main cause of UK environmental change.

You could consider urbanisation, energy resource development, and/or transport infrastructure in your answer.
