When someone references modern farming they are making reference to the modern techniques used in farming. These techniques involve tractors for harvesting for example.

Monoculture, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers have greatly reduced the biodiversity of the world.
Modern farming techniques:beak trimming- a partual removal of beaks from "poultry"tail docking- cutting off pigs tails
Pesticides have helped crops in the short run.Pesticides have damaged the environment.Monoculture crops make our food supply vulnerable to disease.Hybrids and genetically engineered crop varieties grow more efficiently.

Since most modern agricultural techniques require a monoculture, anything that is not the crop is called a weed. Biodiverse is the opposite of a monoculture.
Some benefits and consequences of modern farming techniques are:Allows crop production to keep up with population growthCreates crops vulnerable to diseaseCreates higher crop yieldsBiodiversity has been greatly reduces by monocultureTerracing allows farming on steep hillsidesFertilizer both boosts production and damages the environment
Modern farming methods have resulted in overuse of land through practices such as monocropping, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and continuous tillage. These practices can lead to soil erosion, depletion of nutrients, loss of biodiversity, and reduced soil fertility over time. It is important for farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices to prevent further degradation of the land.
