It allowed for a guaranteed crop yield and encouraged terrace farming.
What were the environmental consequences of trade?In addition, expanded trade tends to increase the scale of production for the world as a whole, meaning that the total volume of pollution and environmental damage is likely to increase. Trade also necessarily involves energy use for transportation, with resulting air pollution and other environmental impacts.
