Describing the distribution of sugarcane producing countries, examine the major environmental issues associated with its cultivation.

Distribution - In Asia, India is the leading producer. In Latin America, the Caribbean countries including Cuba. South East Asian countries also

Major challenges associated with its cultivation are - 1) Water gushing crop - deficts ground water level. 2) Plants even in rain rich climate zones, bringing inefficiency (Sugarcane in Vidharbha). 3) Uneven in plantting - requires land availed in disperster. 4) Makes soil defected in minerals because of repeated cycles of crops (ICAR). 5) Excessive requirement of fertilizing leads to eutrophication, lashing etc. 6) Nations become exposing sugarcane, become virtual water exporter (Economic Surveys).

Mostly impacts, deforestation, of forest fund due to deforestation. Burning of sugarcane residue releases the harmful blocks carbon and dust in atmosphere. Handbrain volume makes it prone to good by pest attacks. Degrades soil quality (human land). High groundwater extraction, issue of soil salinization. Form forestry (cogenerat-follow) - Way Ahead Plant only in available open climatic zones. Imposed seed varieties. Here, sugarcane production requires to be re engineered to achieve a carbon neutral health.
