Some people think modern agricutural methods damage the environment but providing food is more important. However, in my opinion, protecting the environment is more important. There is a reason why I think this way. This is because good environment makes better food.
To be specfic, the environment should never come second place. Once the environment is destructed, we have to struggle with recover the environment. If we consider the next generation to come, we must do everything to protect the environment. In this sense, people must change the agrarian method. For example, there was a case in my country which shows my point. In Korea, rice is our main meal in every time. For this reason, people consume the great amount of the rice. However, in 2011, the negative event occurred. There was a major farm which proivde rice to all country. Inevitably, they use lots of pesticide to remove the hests that demage the crop and to ensure the good quality of appearance. Although the use of pesticide helps eliminating the pests and make crops more clear, it has negative influence in human’s health. At first, people were not aware of this fact. They ate the rice from this farm every day. However, after they consumed this meal, something which had bad traits took place around many people. People felt headache and visited hospital to treat stomachache. Almost people had similar symptoms. The government felt this was strange, so they began to investigate that people. Eventually, the government found out that the farm caused this phenomenon. In short, the farm’s serious problem was uncovered to the society. A lot of people were shocked this situation. Furthermore, lots of chemical matters were accumulated in soil. This soil could produce bad crop. If people did not know this fact, they would have eaten this rice continually. To solve this problem, the farm utilized eco-friendly method such as using the benefit of duck instead of pesticide. As a restult, the quality and secutrity of this rice was improved before using the chemical matter.
In this regard, I firmly believe that protecting environment is more important than providing food by changing of agricultural method.
