agricultural myths

Agricultural myths are misconceptions or false beliefs related to farming practices, techniques, and food production. Examples include the idea that organic farming is always better for the environment, that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are inherently dangerous, or that traditional farming methods are always more sustainable. These myths can stem from cultural beliefs, misunderstandings of science, or emotional reactions to food production methods. Addressing these myths requires clear communication, education, and evidence-based information to help the public understand modern agriculture's complexities and its role in food security and sustainability.
