Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy. It provides food, raw materials for industry, and employment opportunities. In modern times, with the development of technology, agriculture has also undergone great changes.
One of the significant changes is the use of modern farming equipment. Tractors, combines, and other machines have replaced manual labor in many farms. This not only increases the efficiency of farming but also reduces the amount of physical work for farmers.
Another important aspect is the application of biotechnology. Genetically modified crops have been developed to resist pests, diseases, and bad weather. These crops can increase yields and reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, which is beneficial to the environment.
However, modern agriculture also faces some challenges. For example, the over - use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can cause soil and water pollution. And the high cost of modern farming equipment and biotechnology may be a burden for small - scale farmers.
