conventional agriculture
Conventional agriculture refers to the traditional farming practices that rely on synthetic chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to enhance crop production. This method often involves monoculture, where a single crop is grown over a large area, which can lead to increased efficiency and higher yields.
Farmers using conventional agriculture typically focus on maximizing output and minimizing costs. This approach can also include the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to improve resistance to pests and diseases. While it can lead to significant food production, it raises concerns about environmental impact and sustainability.
