Food can be produced much more cheaply, with the use of improved fertilisers and better machinery. However, some methods may be dangeroudangerous for human health and have negative effects on local communities. To what extend do you think its disadvantages outweigh its advantages?

Food production has become an effortless process, due to modern technology and

fertilisers

available now.

However

, there is a growing concern related to the perilous effect on humans and nature because of those farming methods. Perhaps the major advantage of intensive farming is the increased volume of food production worldwide. Even though

food items are often confronted by low nutritional value and the presence of toxic substances. In detail, farmers use chemical

fertilisers

for growing faster and pesticides to prevent insect attacks, which is detrimental to human health. In the long run,

Furthermore

, another significant impact is the deterioration of fertility in soil because of the constant usage of artificial

and pesticides.

As a result

, fertility would decline and it transforms the land as wasteland. Eventually,

this

would lead to an imbalance in the natural composition of soil and a change in

Nevertheless

, advanced machinery and

fertilisers

guarantee a high yield to farmers, which is advantageous to flourish industrial farming and later to economic growth.

However

, the long-term consequences would make people suffer from diseases and lack of suitable land for farming. Overall, it seems to me that industrial farming is not a viable option to rely on in the long run. From the aforementioned reasons, it is clear that the drawbacks of modern farming outshine the benefits.
