Content: Lastly, in the 1990s, agriculture is becoming an increasingly high-tech industry. There a tremendous array of powerful tools of modern plant science at our disposal used to improve traditional crops through genetic manipulation and to find alternative means of pest control. PROBLEMS
Some problems with commercial farming include overproducing, harvesting fewer varieties of food, and limiting the ability of the small farmer to be able to earn a living. Overproduction or an oversupply of food because of mass production has had a negative impact on both small and commercial farmers, as it often reduces their incomes. However, government policies often try to control overproduction through different means: paying farmers not to grow cash crops; providing price supports for products that are sold too cheap; and buying surplus production and then storing it, donating it, or destroying it. With the global spread of commercial agriculture, fewer varieties of food are being planted in shrinking areas of arable land. Varieties of rice, corn, and wheat and new forms of livestock breeding have displaced many local varieties of crops and animal breeds.
