I just plugged the original Latin sentence into translate.google.com and out came the phrasing in the OP:

https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/L%E2%80%99estendersi%20di%20queste%20coltivazioni%20distrugge%20la%20complessa%20trama%20degli%20ecosistemi%2C%20diminuisce%20la%20diversit%C3%A0%20nella%20produzione%20e%20colpisce%20il%20presente%20o%20il%20futuro%20delle%20economie%20regionali.

L’estendersi di queste coltivazioni distrugge la complessa trama degli ecosistemi, diminuisce la diversità nella produzione e colpisce il presente o il futuro delle economie regionali.


The spread of these crops destroys the complex web of ecosystems, decreases diversity in production and affects the present or the future of regional economies.
