The chemicals used in crop farming are picked up by the roots of the crop and consumed by the plant.

Therefore when humans eat chemical-farmed crops, they also eat the chemicals that were used to farm them.

Chemicals in crops are the centre of huge controversy as more and more evidence comes in from scientists of the negative effects of chemicals on the crops, the human body and the environment.

What is the importance of fodder crops to livestock?

Fodder crops are incredibly important to livestock, especially cattle. Feeding cattle and grazing them ultimately depends on the production of forage crops because these animals will not nor can not eat anything else. Cattle are herbivores and designed to eat plants that are impossible for us humans to eat, so in order for us to get beef and milk from these animals, we had--and have--to feed them according to what they can, will, and need to eat. Thus, no matter how or what cattle are fed, they all source from fodder crops.
