However, agriculture is the central issue. While pesticides are being used to keep crops alive, a benefit to farmers, the natural ecosystem is not exactly experiencing the same effect; the ecosystem is being destroyed. An effective way agriculturists can improve on decreasing the amount of pesticides is to use continuous production, where it is reusing the fields, without wasting and hurting them.
Conversely, natural cultivation is an advanced technology that does not harm the environment as well as the biosphere. As a matter of fact, no longer do cultivated areas contaminated, pesticide residual, emaciated and degraded. Instead, this technique assists boost biodiversity and the biosphere reserve in nature and protect the environment from antiquated farming practice. It would be the height of folly, however, not to mention some drawbacks of organic agriculture and advantages of intensive farming. For one thing, organic farming, while conventional farming is manufacturing bigger yields, cannot produce enough food to assuage the world’s appetite. For another thing, it would be rather difficult for the impoverished and underprivileged to afford high-priced products from natural farming, which, consequently, can in part limit their interests of utilizing fresh food. Meanwhile, intensive agriculture, with curtailed prices, can meet the requirements of more people. In conclusion, there is no denying that organic and intensive farming play a vital role in life. Notwithstanding, everything frequently parallels with its downsides and these methods are not an exception. Anyway, with the rational ways of exploiting these technological advances and future development in their security, hopefully all problems will be eliminated and the merits can be
The program of study i chose is Agriscience. Agriscience is the application of science to agriculture. It will involve studying animals and farming techniques. Agriscience relates to small animals and large animals and eventually veterinary science. Eventually if i take my freshman year Agriscience and then the my sophomore year small animal and then junior year large than i will eventually take veterinarian science that will put me on the path to be a veterinarian. Agriscience will also give me the opportunity to work with animals and learn how to take care of them and treat their illness with medical science. Agriscience is designed for you to be able to test and see how you like the veterinarian and animal science. In Agriscience i will learn about many ways to use agriscience. Crop rotation and how to improve crops are some examples of things i
American Agriculturists are utilizing the newest technologies in order to help the goal of food security being reached. The access we have to power fuels our drive and success in this mission. However, we take what we have for granted. Third-world countries are struggling with reaching food security just as much as our nation is. It is vital to remember that the whole world is hungry.
Every state,or place in general, needs a type of resource to make money as a
Is a pumpkin a vegetable or a fruit? What colors do pumpkins come in? These were just a few of the questions asked by Dawn Williams, a member of California Women for Agriculture (CWA) during a presentation to Ms. Katie Phelp’s 3rd grade class.
The Farmers 6000 (also known as F6) is a robot build to farm goods and plant trees on a spaceship. The F6 will help develop a healthy environment, and provide fresh fruits and vegetables. The F6 will cover all jobs a regular farmer has, from seeding a plant, to fixing a plant. The F6 is also very friendly with humans, and enjoys the pleasure of making people happy.
As students enrolled in High School we are often attacked with a barrage of questions; “What field are you going into?”, “Are you ready for college?”, “What are you interested in?”, and many others. When we answer that “we aren’t quite sure yet”, we are told we don’t have much time. The truth is that we really don’t. Our four high school years pass by in a blink and before we know it we are registering for college. Deciding on your major can be an immense decision that will affect the career you go into. There are many fields one can study when considering that pertain to agriculture; learning about them, deciding which job is for you, and preparing now, are significant factors to contemplate.
This suggests that the roadsides was once beautiful and bloomed with healthy and lively vegetation; however, they are now destroyed due to the use of pesticides. From these examples, it can be shown that even though pesticide is beneficial, its deadly effects outweigh its benefits; in addition, it is a dangerous substances to the environment, organisms, and even human.
Today we live in an agriculturist society, but previously hunter and gathering was the popular way of survival. The diversity between them is astonishing whether that be how many children they have or where they live. Also, the way they control the rules, government, and social problems is extremely different. However, there is some of the same characteristics that help them survive and make their systems work more efficiently.
The plant species that I researched was Medicago sativa, or more commonly known as Alfalfa. I found this to be a very intriguing plant to research because we grow alfalfa on the farm as a fodder feed for the animals but I had no idea that it had such a practical use in modern medicine. It is believed that alfalfa was first grown somewhere within the Middle East and then spread to Europe and parts of Asia, the colonists brought it over from Europe to America. And today it can be found in nearly every continent used to feed livestock. The leaves of Alfalfa are what is beneficial in the use of medicine.The leaves are known to have positve affects on the digestive system and can help to lower cholesterol. They also aide with the cleansing the

The use of pesticides has been very harmful for humans. In Daniel Pepper’s “The Toxic Consequences of the Green Revolution,” it states that in India because of the excessive use of pesticides, people have gotten cancer, along with stillborn children and kidney failure. With these serious illnesses, it gives more body to the argument.
Second, the ban on harmful pesticides use would reflect on an economy growth. For instance, according to Jha (2010), approximately, 13% of the United Kingdon agriculture income is lost yearly, due to the drop in pollinators. First, by increasing the cropland productivity through a better pollination, pesticides ban will contribute to the economic growth of agricultural sector which would reflect on the national welfare. The second sector to benefit to this ban and that will contribute to countries’ welfare is the beekeeping sector which has seen its activity handicapped by the drop in bee population. Finally, a positive impact of ecological farms would be the increased quality of fruits and crop products. This will allow a healthy food consumption, enhancing people’s health and well-being. According to Jha (2010), insect pollinators play an important role in having fruits and vegetable of good quality. Moreover, by increasing the average croplands and plants’ productivity the ban of harmful pesticides would reflect on a better food security and, therefore, a better health for the general human
Do you ever wonder where food comes from? It actually comes from the 2.2 million farms across America, most of which are family owned and operated. These family farms make
