Industrial Agriculture

Industrial agriculture refers to large-scale farming practices that use advanced technology, machinery, and chemical inputs like fertilizers and pesticides to maximize crop yields and efficiency. This method often involves monoculture, where a single crop is grown over vast areas, and relies on intensive livestock production. While it can produce food efficiently and at lower costs, concerns about environmental impact, biodiversity loss, and sustainability have emerged. Industrial agriculture plays a significant role in global food supply but raises questions about its long-term effects on health, ecosystems, and rural communities.
