Conventional agriculture is a large-scale farming system that relies on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and monoculture practices to maximize yield. While it has increased food production globally, it has significant environmental impacts.
Growing a single crop over large areas reduces biodiversity and depletes soil nutrients
Heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides increases yields but contributes to soil degradation and water pollution
Industrial machinery boosts efficiency but leads to soil compaction and erosion
Intensive water use depletes groundwater resources, threatening sustainability
Bioengineered crops improve yields but raise concerns about ecosystem disruption
