Answer:
Imperialism :
-Imperialism is the policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political hegemony over other nations, countries, or colonies.
-This is realized either through direct territorial conquest or settlement, or through indirect methods of influencing or controlling the politics and/or economy.
-The rule of authority of a country is based on territory, economic establishment and political influence. The term is used to describe the policy of a nation's dominance over distant lands, regardless of whether the subjugated nation considers itself part of the empire.
- It is also considered the action by which one country controls another country or territory accomplished by military means to gain certain advantages.
-Imperialism helps one country gain power and domain over other areas.
- Imperialism can also be referred to as expansionism. An imperialist country, state, colony, or nation can be grouped as political, economic, religious, ideological, or exploratory.
-An imperialist government is a government that tries to gain new markets for exports, sources of inexpensive labor and raw materials.
-The interrupting of affairs between developing countries to protect international corporations caused the United States to be accused of imperialism in the early 20th century.
-Insofar as "imperialism" in the non-Marxist sense might be used to refer to an intellectual position, it would imply the belief that the acquisition and maintenance of empires is a positive good, probably combined with an assumption of cultural or other such superiority inherent to imperial power
-Imperialist policies have been criticized because some believe they have often been used for economic exploitation of poorer countries as sources of raw materials and cheap labor, but others contend that creating jobs in poorer countries is welcomed by and benefits the poor most of all. --Many are critical of imperialism because it assumes that one race or ethnicity is superior to another, insofar as this "superior" entity has the moral obligation to conquer and subjugate these people who are supposedly subordinate.
-In recent years, there has also been a trend to view imperialism not at an economic or political level, but as a cultural issue, particularly in regard to the widespread global influence of American culture
-Some dispute this extension of the concept, however, on the grounds that it is highly subjective to differentiate between mutual interaction and undue influence, and also that this extension is applied selectively.
Its influence on various sectors is discussed below:
-Agriculture : The local agriculture is tremendously benefitted in Imperialistic governments. Complete protection as well as maximum subsidies are given to the farmers.
-Forestery: Depending upon the cost benefit analysis forestery may be encouraged or discouraged.
-Environment : as the government is pro-industries so minimum possible or as per statuatory obligations environment protection and preservation is accepted/practiced.
- Deforestation : It will also depend upon the requirement of the government and its industries. If beneficial it will be accepted.otherwise not.

It has been debated between economists and political theorists on whether or not imperialism benefits the states that practice it. Some theorists have even argued that imperialism is the result of the natural struggle of peoples survival.[citation needed] After World War two, the idea of liberating people and bringing them to a blessing in a superior way of life was another justification of imperialism.
Insofar as "imperialism" in the non-Marxist sense might be used to refer to an intellectual position, it would imply the belief that the acquisition and maintenance of empires is a positive good, probably combined with an assumption of cultural or other such superiority inherent to imperial power (see The White Man's Burden).
