expensive farming is a system of agricultural output wich Does not minimize the short- term productivity of ground by not calling on the chemical inputs, to watering or to drainage Rather aim to present on the spot naturall resources.
This agricultural HAS every advantage :
environmental benefits :
smaller footprint
Reduce pollution because there is no use of fertilizers or pesticides , protecting wildlife.
Indeed , useful animals such as bees, for example .
In addition, we and consume natural products and good qualities.
Economic Benefits :
extensive agriculture cheaper than intensive .
Indeed, it does not solicit the use of mechanization , everything is done by hand and thus have less unemployment .
Indeed, there would thus be more work because it requires the workforce .
Social benefits :
Quality products are of better quality , both in health level as taste .
In addition, this allows better to have less obesity.
And extensive agriculture there are three types : a traditional form found in developing countries where technical resources are limited , a highly mechanized as in North America and a modern form of agriculture environmental protection : organic farming .
Organic farming is a growing method that does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and replaces other methods including products from plants or animals.
It is not used in all countries.
However , it develops more e .
Generally practiced regions with unfavorable natural conditions such as mountain areas and in areas where soils are poor.
Considered more sustainable , it is agriculture which often allows "Organic farming" certification.
GMOs ... unlike the extensive agriculture , intensive agriculture uses methods of intensification.
It seeks to produce more without taking into account the quality .
Its sole purpose is to produce more , thence to use GMOs .
GMOs are genetically modified organisms that can produce more. However .
They have large negative impacts on us but also on biodiversity.
Indeed, they represent an environmental hazard :
reduced biodiversity because they transmit to other plants .... their transgenes .
Increase the use of herbicide.
GMOs may become uncontrollable which push farmers to use product advantage to try to control them.
Human and economic risk :
allergies
disruption of the functioning of our body.
Dependence of farmers .
Indeed, they will be forced to buy kegs years new plans for the former can not reproduce.
Job losses, thus increasing unemployment .
We see here that GMOs are not the best solutions both for biodiversity and for ourselves.
Agriculture of the past, present and future .
Extensive agriculture , an agriculture that responds to confer sustainable development.
It is environmental, economic and social .
Moreover, today agriculture is moving towards a net -intensification .
The disintensification , is not a feature of extensive agriculture ?
