7 Biggest Ethical Issues Facing The Agricultural Industry
Content: Farm Management
Farm management involves the unethical treatment of farmworkers and the overall management of the farm itself. In the agricultural industry, there are rules to be followed regarding the size of a farm and their market shares. Often times, farm workers deal with terrible and even dangerous conditions, yet are underpaid and may not even have health insurance. 5. Sustainability
An issue that’s just begun to come to light, at least for the general public, is sustainability. Agricultural businesses that ruin the land, have chemical run-off in local water sources and inadvertently harm wildlife don’t help to sustain the business or the environment. Without a healthy environment, the future of food production is at risk, especially as populations continue to rise. 6. Trade Agreements
Growing and raising food is one thing, but selling it is another. Ethics issues are all too common when it comes to trade agreements in the agricultural industry.
