What were the effects of the inventions in farm technology?

Answer 1

farming is technology. it's technology that we created and without it, we'd still be hunting and gathering agrarian nomadic gypsies. the basis for our opulent civilization is farming, but improvements in technology are double edge sword. like say an ox and a plough, for tilling the soil and working in your amendment, great idea but what are we going to use it to do. now we can make more food than we need, so we start selling it off to a neighboring town, they stop making whatever we're supplying them with and we're exchanging food for clothes with them until 25 years down the line the fields get a disease that wipes out the crops, and we all go hungry and die, what's better for who? Does it matter to nature whether we live or die? Maybe maybe not.

Monsanto figured out a way to bioengineer seeds and plant strains so that they can't be used for reproduction, and the next time you decide to plant seeds you can just collect them out of the tomatoes you eat. you have to buy them from Monsanto. Is roundup making us sick, is it killing off bacteria that participate in some exchange with a fungus or some organic breakdown process that should make our food more nutritious? It kills weeds, what else is it killing. Cotton gin had the potential to do away with the need for slavery. This is a very broad question. Maybe you should consider narrowing down your curiousity a little and asking a more direct question.
