　　Modern agriculture methods like the use of pesticides and artificialfertilizers are widely used around the world. Along with such brings forthnegative effects. The most obvious and detrimental impact of modern agriculturemethods is environmental degradation. Many people believe that the environmentalrisks should not be taken into consideration since many people are sufferingfrom the lack of food. I certainly disagree with this.

　　To begin with, despite the fact that there are people who suffer fromstarvation, the reason is not because of the lack of food. As a matter of fact,tons of grains and corns are wasted every year. If the government and thegeneral public really care about starving people, they should have enoughability and adequate materials to offer help. People suffer just because of badmanagement, worldwide corruption, and terrible indifference. So there is no needto destroy wilderness areas or use environmentally-damaging agricultural methodsto increase productivity. The world nowadays has more food than we need. As longas corruption and bad management are eradicated, the world would see less peoplestarving.
