conventional agriculture

Conventional agriculture is a method of farming that uses modern techniques and tools to produce crops and raise livestock efficiently. It often involves the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms to enhance yield and protect against pests and diseases. This approach aims to meet the high demand for food, fiber, and other products by maximizing productivity on available land. While effective in producing large quantities, it can sometimes impact the environment through soil degradation, water use, and chemical runoff. Overall, it balances technological innovation with farming practices to sustain food production.
