The range and quality of food that we can buy has changed because of technological and scientific advances. Some people regard this change as an improvement, while others believe that it is harmful. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In today modern world, the revolutions of technology and science have an impact on many aspects of life including the standard and different kinds of food we consume. However, there is some controversy about the effect of those changes. While it is possible to claim that these effects are improvement, my view is that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

There are several reasons why these innovations in food production can be considered as positive. One is that farmers can produce crops that grow bigger and faster so it leads to the reduction of food shortage in many developing countries. It also should not be forgotten that genetically modified crops are more resistant to diseases or pests so the costs of production can be reduced and limit the danger of agricultural wastes.

Those who argue for the drawbacks of technology and science’s development in agriculture base their argument on the impact of those changes on environment and human health. Firstly, there might be risk involved in the genetically modified crops because the effect of these crops to the ecosystem is unknown. In addition to this, there are concerns about man-made chemicals used in modern methods of food production could be harmful to human health. An example illustrates this is that fertilized foods are assumed to causes cancer or long-terms consequences to human kind health.

While there are strong arguments on both sides of the problem, I think that the long-term dangers of these developments should be cautious. Although technology and science used in agriculture has improved the variety and quality of foods, some measures should be regulated to ensure that these developments would be used in a safe way for both environment and humans.
