Modern technology, such as chemical fertiliser, is
being used more nowadays. Some people think that it is dangerous to human
health and has negative effects on local communities.To what extent do you

Today, innovations
in farming have changed citizens’ lives far significantly. Some individuals
believe that the new chemicals used in agriculture have had numerous drawbacks
on people’s health. However, others, myself included, believe that the positive
influences can surpass the negative consequences.

On the one hand,
some people believe that chemical materials used for food are like a tip of an iceberg.
One reason is that they can increase the risk of obesity. Hormones are the ones
which are applied as fertilisers in vegetables or animal products, causing the
users to become more overweight. For example, the rate of obesity has
fundamentally grown among the U.S. citizens, who use the greatest amounts of
non-organic foods in the world. These types of foods are considerably more
economical than the organic ones, being used hugely by Americans, who are
number one when it comes to the obesity rate. Another side effect is the risk
of resistance. Using of these chemical materials, crops may defend less
themselves against mutated pests. In particular, billions of tonnes of corn
products were ruined in Canada in 2009 because of new species of these modified
pests, reported by the National Geographic magazine.

On the other hand, I
give a green light to the usage of these products because of having more
advantages. One important benefit is that these fertilisers have increased the
productivity of agricultural products. Clearly, the more they are used by
farmers, the more massive crops are generated. As a prime example, we can see
the quality of apple has been improved notably, compared to the past. The
shape, volume, colour and even price of it have been changed positively, and
many of citizens can afford it; therefore, even low-income families are able to
purchase it. Furthermore, crops are nourished by more valuable items. In many
farm industries, vitamins and minerals are added to crops, leading them to become
far nutritious than the organic products. In particular, had not these
chemicals been used in rice, more children would have suffered from Vitamin B
deficiency, the most abundant vitamin being found in non-organic rice.

In conclusion,
although consumption of chemical materials can be partly risky, I personally
believe that their advantages can be greater than their negative side effects.
These materials have helped humans to not only be able to afford better their
food, but they can consume more healthy products than before. If I were a
governor, I would support those industries producing them.
