The use of more technology in agriculture has increased the risk of death.

Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were very well-built people. Moreover, they lived healthy lives for a long time. I heard that they could work in the fields for long hours and move very heavy things very easily by eating a little rice, green chillies and onions in the morning. Most importantly, they were physically very strong and healthy, the main reason being their nutritious, toxin-free food. The foods they consumed had great benefits for their bodies, which is why they were able to live long and healthy lives. They cultivated these toxic-free and nutritious foods in their fields using traditional methods, using organic fertilizers.

When cultivated using traditional methods, the crops are free of toxins and delicious to eat, so they chose this method. But the problem arises when the population increases day by day, and there is a need to produce more in less time. They gradually continue to innovate and implement new technologies. In addition, they began using insecticides and chemical fertilizers to protect against insects and increase yields. Moreover, new machines were used to quickly cultivate the fields and thresh crops, resulting in increased costs in agriculture.

Expenses in agriculture continued to increase day by day, with the use of new machinery, pesticides, and fertilizers being among the main reasons. As a result, farmers try to sell their crops at higher prices, and some unscrupulous traders use a chemical called formalin to earn more profits. Formalin is an organic chemical that is extremely harmful to the human body and even poses a risk of cancer. Moreover, due to the use of excessive fertilizers and pesticides, every crop has become increasingly toxic. As a result, we are constantly getting sick and the risk of death continues to increase.

Now my question is, the use of excessive technology in agriculture putting us in danger?
Indeed, we are constantly moving towards death. Due to the use of some excessive technologies and unscrupulous businessmen, we are heading towards extreme loss of our lives.

So what can we do to save ourselves?

• Since we are in the golden age of technology, we must use technology, but only to the extent necessary.
• Extensive research must be conducted to ensure maximum use of organic fertilizers and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
• You can grow your own, pesticide-free vegetables as much as possible. I am growing pesticide-free vegetables in a small area on my rooftop garden.
• People need to be warned about the use of formalin or harmful chemicals, and social awareness needs to be increased.
