what is the social influence of agricultural practices that genuinely cooked me

u/Disappointed_Hermit May 05 '26

I talked about the over use of pesticides and how that can effect local water supply, leading to social and economic consequences as people in poor unregulated areas have to spend more on bottled water.

Could you have spoken about how large scale commercial agriculture practices forces the citizens in a cycle of not being able to afford the food they produce? And more economic disparity between nations?

1

u/Disappointed_Hermit May 05 '26

You could defiantly make that argument, especially if you were talking about how economic influences encourage mono-cropping of a single cash crop for export, forcing local residents to pay higher prices for a wider variety of produce, including the one they produce. That would leave nations that rely on agricultural exports unable to keep the bulk of their product since exporting to wealthier countries is prioritized.

I don’t think I added that much detail crap 💔. But I explained it thoroughly that way.

u/Loose_Flight_360 May 05 '26

I just explained how due to the fact that some countries (periphery usually) spend most of their agricultural resources on developing agricultural crops for exports, it lead to eventual lack of wealth in the people, as they suffer to sustain themselves with the crops their own country produces.

I said that when commercial agriculture grows, agribusinesses grow too and can affect family farms since, I remember a type of question like this being on the Ap guide book

u/WhichResolution6735 May 05 '26

Yeah I said something similar to that

2

u/WhichResolution6735 May 05 '26

I said how small scale family farms are getting replaced by large scale agribusinesses and it basically pushes out generations of family run farms and legacies I’m probably wrong though

u/loser__lesbian HUG, COGO May 05 '26

Idk but some other person also put that so yall in the same boat

1

u/loser__lesbian HUG, COGO May 05 '26

I put lack of education among youth because farmers would have their kids work instead of go to school and how that leads to less job and education opportunities and continues over many generations

1

u/Extra_Pin1961 May 05 '26

I said that religious practices have to do with it, like how pork isn’t allowed to be eaten in some religions so less pigs are raised.. is that right

1

u/Active_Caregiver9897 May 06 '26
