Industrialized Farming

Everytime you go to the grocery store, chances are, you're going to find what you want. Such consistency and availability of products and groceries can be accredited to industrialized farming. However, industrialized farming is, in fact, a danger to our health and our environment. Think about all of the gas we use distributing the multitude of groceries to every store throughout the country. As long as industrialized farming exists as it does now, we are going to rely heavily on gasoline for our well-stocked grocery stores. Not only is our reliance on gas bad for the economy, but it pollutes the air we breathe.
Ever since the industrial revolution, when tractors were introduced to farming, we have been slowy becoming more dependent on machinery for our crops. Farmers currently use pesticides to prevent product loss to "pests." Presiticdes are dangerous to humans and can cause health problems. Profit seems to be more important nowadays to farmers rather than public health. Sure, groceries may be cheap and plentiful as a result of industrialized farming, but such farming techniques have negative affects on our health and the environment.
I feel that there needs to be some kind of innovation made to improve modern farming. Perhaps an alternate fuel source would get rid of some of the pollution done to the environment. Some kind of change is needed for industrial farming because we're certainley not going to get rid of it unless we absolutely need to. More often now we are seeing organic and pesticide-free foods in our grocery stores, which shows we are making at least some progress.
