Five highlights of the differences between traditional and modern methods of farming are:

  1. Traditional farming did not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides; modern farming does use them.
  2. Traditional farming tilled the land before planting crops; some types of modern farming is non-till farming.
  3. Traditional farming used heirloom or hybrid seeds, modern farming often uses genetically modified seeds.
  4. Traditional farming was done by small farmers; modern farming is mostly done by large corporate farmers.
  5. When raising animals, traditional farming allowed the animals to graize in fields; modern corporate farming raises animals in factory farms where they are kept in small pens and do not get to graize in fields.
