However‚ despite the increasing level of interest‚ organic farming is not more beneficial or safer than conventional farming‚ as the prohibition of use of synthetic herbicides‚ pesticides‚ and fungicides‚ increases food safety concerns‚ its lower yield is not capable of feeding the worlds growing population‚ and its higher costs make it less accessible to lower income people or countries. Therefore‚ before consumers make the choice

Introduction: Bees are responsible for pollinating about 75% of the world’s flowering plants and around 35% of global food crops. Many of the fruits‚ vegetables‚ and nuts we eat could disappear without them. Today‚ I will discuss the role of bees in pollination and ecosystems‚ the causes of bee endangerment‚ and how we can save the bees

will the use of pesticides and the presence of aphids affect the growth of iceberg rose bushes? 1.2 Background information In South Africa‚ Iceberg Roses are not only known to bloom all year round but they are also known to attract aphids. This not only causes for the flowers of the plants to look unappealing but they can also affect the growth of the plant. However‚ the problem that many rose bush owners have is that they do not know if growing a plant with the use of pesticides will be of benefit

This huge increase in efficiency has been the result of many factors‚ including use of fertilizer‚ and pesticides‚ introduction of farm machinery‚ development of hybrid strains‚ and increased knowledge about farm management practices. As agriculture has become more intensive‚ farmers have become capable of producing higher yields using less labor and less land

Scientists have learned that by inserting the genetic information from one organism into another they can create food crops that grow larger‚ stay fresh longer and are equipped with their own pesticides. GM foods have been a common part of the national diet since the early 90s. As with many scientific advances; e.g.‚ using chemo therapy to treat cancer‚ or underwater oil drilling‚ there have been unexpected‚ negative side effects.
