Farmers today are growing more food than ever before, so why do some people say that what they e doing is wrong?
Today, industrial farming methods produce big harvests in the short term, but they also deplete the very resources that future generations will need to continue producing. Industrial agriculture disrupts and depletes the soil with synthetic fertilizers; uses too much water for irrigation; poisons the soil and water with synthetic pesticides that linger in the environment; and relies on expensive distribution systems.
