Overview
What are the defining characteristics of Industrial Agriculture? I want to know that when I use the term Industrial Agriculture, you all have the same/similar understanding of it!
Provide a definition from the book.
List its characteristics (as compared to those of traditional agriculture)
Be comprehensive here; use the entire chapter.
Consider, for example, how crops and livestock are raised, fish are harvested or farmed, technology is used, water is provided...
- Ultimately, the idea here is, if we can identify the defining characteristics of industrial agriculture, we can then think about the implications for our topsoil, water, air, climate, human and environmental health, right?
Submit a document (text, pdf or word file) with you and your groupmates' names here. If you worked solo, that's fine also.
- Enjoy!
