Agriculture is the leading source of pollution in many countries. Pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil. They also can remain in the environment for generations. The agricultural revolution had a variety of consequences for humans. It has been linked to everything from societal inequality a result of humans' increased dependence on the land and fears of scarcity to a decline in nutrition and a rise in infectious diseases contracted from domesticated animals. Land denudation, aquatic toxicity; leaching, run off and lifetime health equivalent are some of the complicated environmental hazard and health menace that both agricultural activities and food processing can cause the environment and the occupants.
The Agricultural Revolution brought about experimentation with new crops and new methods of crop rotation. These new farming techniques gave soil time to replenish nutrients leading to stronger crops and better agricultural output. Advancements in irrigation and drainage further increased productivity. The agricultural revolution had a variety of consequences for humans. It has been linked to everything from societal inequality a result of humans' increased dependence on the land and fears of scarcity to a decline in nutrition and a rise in infectious diseases contracted from domesticated animals. Causes and effects of agricultural revolutions are a shift in climate enabling the cultivation of a variety of crops. This revolution started because of developments in technology, a shift towards industrialization, and the growth of cities. In the early 18th century, British inventor Jethro Tull perfected the seed drill, which allowed farmers to efficiently sew seeds in rows rather than scattering seeds by hand. One of the most important innovations of the Agricultural Revolution was the development of the Norfolk four-course rotation, which greatly increased crop and livestock yields by improving soil fertility and reducing fallow. Agriculture contributes to a number larger of environmental issues that cause environmental degradation including: climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, dead zones, genetic engineering, irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation, and waste.
That is a very broad question and requires dividing into smaller questions in order to answer. As you outline in the following answers it covers multiple aspects. It would also be helpful to understand the context of the question. What do you hope to achieve through the answers?
Agriculture is the world's largest industry. Intensive agriculture as it has been practiced since the 1960s has very high yields, but depletes the soil and pollutes the environment: greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, etc.
I believe that agriculture is the most significant source of income for the central and state governments. The government of the country has substantial revenue from rising land revenue. Also, the movement of agricultural goods helps generate revenue for the Indian railways, which helps the government in revenue generation. The agricultural pollution contaminates soil that leads to soil pollution and depletion of soil fertility by killing soil microorganisms. The chemicals that are part of pesticides and other different kinds of agro-chemicals can cause long-lasting damage to the soil. Over-dependence on unreliable rain and lack of irrigation facilities had led to a decline in agricultural output. Poverty and illiteracy of the farmers prevent them from making large-scale capital investments and adopting scientific methods of cultivation.

It has been linked to everything from societal inequality a result of humans' increased dependence on the land and fears of scarcity to a decline in nutrition and a rise in infectious diseases contracted from domesticated animals. The green revolution led to high productivity of crops through adapted measures, such as (1) increased area under farming, (2) double-cropping, which includes planting two crops rather than one, annually, (3) adoption of HYV of seeds, (4) highly increased use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. Agricultural revolution refers to the significant changes in agriculture when there are inventions, discoveries or new technologies implemented. These revolutions change the ways of production and increase the production rate. Agricultural livestock are responsible for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, most notably methane. In addition, overgrazing is a major problem regarding environmental sustainability. In some places, stretches of forage land are consumed so extensively that grasses are unable to regenerate.
There is a race between developed and developing countries, developing countries will do anything to win the race which has one of the worst impacts on the environment.
