In recent years, farming practice has changed to include methods such as factory farming and the use of technology to improve crops. Some people believe these developments are necessary, while others regard them as dangerous and advocate a return to more traditional farming methods. Discuss both points of view and give your own opinion.

In the past,

food

used to be produced naturally by society, through hard work and horse-drawn equipment. But now farmers and the business communities adopted advanced technological procedures in fields to manufacturing

food

. Technology has brought a great transformation in the field of agriculture, which has enriched farming with a variety of

foods

but many of them are produced using methods like factory farming and genetically modified

foods

. Some

people

think that modern technology should be used to produce

food

in any way possible for the increased population while others disagree and support the natural way of producing

foods

. On one hand, with technological help and modern farming, the farmers do not have to work hard as they did in the past, which is fair to some extent. machinery has made it possible to create new breeds of crops and increased productivity is a blessing for the ever-increasing population of the world. The modern usage of transport, fertilization convenience, and factory products have made farming easy than in the past. The

food

can be preserved, genetically modified, transported to remote locations easily and these all advancements are helpful for a nation.

On the other hand

, the usage of automation in farming and

food

processing has many negative consequences. Overuse of pesticides and other chemicals contaminate the

foods

and many societies are unknowingly consuming toxic elements through the meal they consume. While genetically modified and factory produced

foods

offer a solution to the starvation of a nation, the quality of

food

is being affected. Technical farming is not healthier or full of nourishing characteristics as compared to non-technical farming.

Thus

healthier

food

is the main concern for

people

and they suggest reverting back to the old way of producing crops and processing

food

. In conclusion, the use of modern technology in farming and

food

-producing has some negative effects but we cannot deny the fact that without increasing

food

production

people

will starve to death in the future. The growing number of starving

people

worldwide and the decreasing farming land are two major facts we should focus on using technological advancement for

food

processing but should not use harmful chemicals for personal benefits.
