Scientific developments in farming always bring major benefits. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, there are a number of high-profile innovations in farming based on scientific research, most notably in the

use

of chemicals and genetic modifications of crops. I agree that scientific

developments

have made a great benefit to world agriculture

such

as genetic modifications or decreased chemical

use

, but we

also

need to be aware of the consequences. On the one hand, scientific

developments

and technology help us to be able to edit the plant’s genetic code to make it have the ability to resist some particular pests and

diseases

. Lately years, the understanding of plants' genetic makeup, make it possible for us to create new strains of crops naturally resistant to pests and

diseases

, reducing the need for excessive chemical

use

.

As a result

of the scientific modification, plants now have better health and increase productivity.

For instance

, in some areas of the world, farmers now can grow their own food to consume

as well as

sell it to the market to generate income.

On the other hand

, these scientific

developments

could have some serious drawbacks

such

as the

use

of chemicals harming nature organisms and human

diseases

.

For example

, chemical insecticides can harm not only pests but

also

vital pollinators,

such

as bees and other organisms, which means fewer plants are pollinated,

this

can result in decreased plant pollination, leading to potential disruptions in food supplies.

Additionally

, the

use

of chemicals in farming can contribute to the spread of human

diseases

, including instances of food poisoning attributed to chemical fertilizers. In conclusion, I agree that scientific

developments

have made a great benefit to world agriculture

such

as the development of agricultural machinery and genetic modifications to the refinement of livestock breeding.

However

, we must understand the impact of innovation before it’s too late to reverse any of these negative consequences.
