An interesting topic of two sided coin 🪙.
Technology era is something I have always cherished due to how it has provided us with many opportunities which we all has benefited from despite how we kept also searching into the adverse affect it has created in certain areas.
In the area of agriculture , technology has also played huge roles by how revolution took over with modern machines which has helped the increase of productions in both foods, vegetables and fruits. Thanks to technology, farmers are being able to help produce to meet up the demand of people, who are the consumers all around the world 🌎 .
The commercial farming are now more efficient, less tedious and even very easy when compared to the days of our predecessors who toiled through using obsolete tools in cultivating and which we were aware was one hail of difficult times many of them faced without much resources to reap their labor.
One thing is for sure, technology will continue to evolve and we the people have no choice than to keep embracing it, but we should also know that there should be sone certain areas we need to question the use of technology and this area has to do with health which is there area we reference our predecessors again. They labored without technology and was healthier during their own era because of how nutritious their process was.
Health in this modern agriculture 👩🌾 era is of more concern due to how methods used by the farmers in cultivating are all chemically unhealthy and every environment being damaged. Apart from how technology helps with quick productivity of how works that should be done within days are now under hours, like ridges on lands.
And the reality here is that the use of chemicals in the agricultural sector on our lands, foods, vegetables and fruits are of great concern which we all know. Although anything that has an advantages equally has disadvantages. Technology has helped to ease of the tediousness from old ways of cutlass, hoes , etc used by farmers into modern machines making every agricultural process less stressful which indeed are huge development but we should also consider this technological advancement when considering the amount of chemicals used by farmers in growing every kind of crops. The amount or quantity that are not checked because they want the crops to germinate so quickly. This indeed is a big concern to our health.

Its so sad of how our health is not being a priority when it comes to what we consume as humans in the agricultural sector. I hardly can preserve fresh tomatoes 🍅 these days even in the refrigerator. Once power is not steady, it will became a waste because they automatically softens with foamy water coming out all over the body. Its so scary 😟 of how long we will go with this health risk advancement from technology.
However, its in the hands of every nation to have check on the agricultural sector of their country because it has to do with what the people called the citizens consume. The government has the right to check on farmers especially the bigger investors to know how produce are being cultivated because the farmers appears to only care on quick productivity to earn and make money . This is a huge health risk to all of us because we have no choice but to buy and consume. I believe the government can do better by having checks on agricultural sector and how produce are cultivated. And if only every individual will have a land of their own we will surely cultivate organic foods for good health.
