Disadvantages of modern agriculture
* Removal of buffers to make large fields for maximum efficiency leading to lower food costs and greater food availability to the poor. But it also limits the natural habitat of some wild creatures and can lead to soil erosion.
* Use of fertilizers can alter the Biology of rivers and lakes.[8] Some environmentalists attribute the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico as being encouraged by nitrogen fertilization of the algae bloom.
* Pesticides can kill useful insects as well as those that destroy crops.
* Generally not sustainable.
* Often results in an inferior product.
* Use of chemicals on fields creates run-off, excess runs off into rivers and lakes causing pollution.
* Animal Welfare is significantly decreased compared to organic, animals are kept in tight living conditions, over-fed and only have a small life span before being slaughtered
* Per John Jeavons of growbionintensive.org, it kills or malnourishes the fungi and bacteria that hold the soil together, resulting in loss of topsoil, so the increase in yield is only temporary, and, like a heroin addiction, demands ever-greater inputs to sustain output, and eventually destroys the productive capacity of the land.
Agriculture is something the human race could not live without. It is how people produce much needed foods and materials.
I could write a book on this one but main disadvantages are long hours poor pay hard labour
Advantages: Good pay (Sorry im tired and im trying to help people so I can't think) Disadvantages: If prices go down, the economy is basically ruined
Agriculture would never develop if agriculture never developed.
Farmers wouldn't be farmers without agriculture, and agriculture wouldn't be agriculture without farmers. Simple as that.
Actinium (the chemical element) is not used in agriculture.
you all are duffer
The advantages of modern agriculture is that you have machines to plant and do everything so you don't have to do it all with your hands but the disadvantages are that you can run out of fuel and it harms the envornment.
You can't BUY sustainable agriculture. It's something that is beyond the price of money, you have to want to make agriculture sustainable. It's a value, not an asset.
The disadvantage of modern agriculture is that if pesticides are not used correctly they might become toxic to plants, animal and the environment it self.

There is less oxygen; There is also very little land to agriculture and is less protected from the UV rays.
water holding capacity decreaces. pesticides can kill useful insects. the money spent for agriculture ibncreases. not sustainable.
There are many disadvantages for using modern machinery in agricultural settings. One if the biggest disadvantages of using modern machinery is that the machinery is very expensive to purchase and to maintain. Another disadvantage of using modern machinery is that most newer farm machinery needs a person skilled in the operation of the machinery to run it.
