Loss

 Knowledge of loss can lead to better decision-making regarding crop rotation, pest control, and livestock care. Farmers can implement strategies to minimize loss due to disease, pests, and poor weather conditions. 

 Losses can occur due to poor environmental practices. Understanding these can lead farmers to adopt more sustainable practices that conserve resources and improve long-term productivity. 

 Awareness of potential losses influences investment decisions in new technology, equipment, and infrastructure. It ensures that investments are made wisely and can lead to higher returns or reduced risks.
