Advances in technology

There was once a time when farmers used to plow the land manually and it was one long hard task stretching from dawn to dusk. So they put their heads together and came up with the tractor. Cut to the 21st century and farming has gone all high-tech and is talking about GM food and agricultural biotechnology. The advances are huge but some are taking advantage of new technology to reduce cost and create more yield, but sometimes at the cost of the consumers. For example GM products are easier to take care of, require less attention and produce more yield, but you don't get the same nutrients as a non-GM product, and sometimes you can even get residue of pesticides and herbicides use in the GMO process. Health concerns have seen the soaring popularity of organic fruits and vegetables. The organic variety of food is cultivated without using pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and growth hormones. A negative aspect of where the adaptation of technology has been taken to by different companies.
