- Abstract
In Modern Agriculture, Production & Use of Agrochemicals for High Food Productivity, Development & Use of Modern Instruments, Electricity & Petroleum Products for Land Mowing, Tilling, Irrigating Soils and Harvesting the Crops also had some Adverse Effects on the Environment & Society. a). Production & Use of Agrochemicals (Chemical Fertilizers & Pesticides) Although it was essential to use the Agrochemicals (Chemical Fertilizers for Growth of Crops & Chemical Pesticides to Protect them from Pests & Diseases) for high food productivity to feed the fast-growing population of the world & protect from ‘hunger’ & ‘starvation’ it came as a ‘Mixed Blessing’ for the world. It was also termed as ‘Green Revolution’ when it was started in the 1960’s. It adversely affected the Environment & the Agricultural Ecosystems all over world. It badly degraded & destroyed the ‘natural fertility’ of the farm soils & ‘chemically contaminated’ many of the foods produced. About 57 fruits & vegetables grown by the Agrochemicals have been found to be contaminated with the ‘Residual Chemical Pesticides’. As mentioned earlier, several farmers are ‘poisoned’ every year all over the world by the use of Pesticides. Use of Chemical Fertilizers in farms also consumes more water for Farm Irrigation using huge ‘Groundwater Resources’ of Earth which is now fast depleting all over the World. b). Use of ‘Metals’ & ‘Materials’ for Production of Farm Vehicles and Instruments In modern times, production of metals like ‘Iron & Steel’, ‘Copper & Aluminium’ are required in large amounts for the production of Machines & Equipments for development of ‘Food Farms’ in the fertile Forested areas by removing the Trees, mowing & tilling the Soils to remove the ‘weeds & grass’. These days ‘Mowing Equipments & Vehicles’ (Tractors) for Soil tilling in Farms are also needed all over the world as the farm soils have become very ‘Hard &
