The Agricultural Crisis as a Crisis of Culture

Farming has not been the same for the past 50 years, technology plays a large role in controling the way foods are produced.  Technology can shorten the length of labor used when farming as well as increase production. Those who have not touched soils in their lives have begun to farm. It's all possible because of technology. There are no longer a limitation of farming for only farmers, businessmen have taken matters in their own hand. Farming has always been passed down from generations after generations, a cycle in which the foods that were grown were free of "poison". Farmers go out of business because of businessmen, how ironic is that? Those who have absolutely no clue how to farm has controlled most of the farms. What will happen to farmers who can't farm? Technology can also hurt the lives of farmers, what use to be something so clean and untainted has become a disturbance for farmers. Farmers no longer control their own farms, businessmen with technology own the farms. As newer technology emerges the less "real"farmers there will be.
