Conventional agriculture is a farming method that relies on the use of synthetic chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to enhance crop growth and protect plants from pests. This approach often focuses on maximizing yields and efficiency, using large machinery and monoculture practices, where a single crop is grown over a large area.
While conventional agriculture can produce high quantities of food, it can also lead to environmental concerns, such as soil degradation and water pollution. Farmers often face challenges related to sustainability, as the heavy reliance on chemicals can impact biodiversity and the health of ecosystems.
