Food Production

            In life people need three essential things for survival- water, shelter, and food. Food in our world has never been an item too difficult to come by; however, it will be shortly at the rate our population is growing. The technology our society has been using has sustained efficiency for quite some time, but my main concern is will it continue with the rate at which our world is growing? With every environment comes a carrying capacity and I feel like we have hit ours.  The problems that we are facing with food production are the chemicals we are spraying into our crops, the drugs that are being given to the animals we eat, and the question of ethics about how the animals we eat are butchered on a daily basis. Mankind is superior to all species on Earth, and being so we have a responsibility in our hands to keep our world in balance. When I say balance I mean we aren’t doing drastic things to keep our population at its uprising rate in exchange for a higher rate of food production; therefore we should watch ourselves and what we are doing to our world and its resources. http://www.globalissues.org/issue/749/food-and-agriculture-issues
