Research Analysis
Both developed and developing nations around the world have experienced some degree of unfortunate fetal and early childhood development based upon the food and agriculture associated in that nation. The food, agriculture, and soil in developed and developing countries can cause damaging birth defects upon pregnant women and the physical development of early childhood. This topic can of great conflict, for the keen natural resources needed for the survival of both the mother and her offspring can possibly produce life altering effects on the developing fetus. This is a great epidemic for it affects about 3 out of 100 women in the U.S (cdc.gov/mmwr) and 61 to 70 women every 1000 live births have birth defects (www.ncbi.nlm.nhm.gov). …show more content…
Women are primarily impacted because women are carrying these children and caring for them, the development of their children in a crucial time. But due to a lack of strenuous and consistent regulations on the chemicals used for food, agriculture and soil, pregnant women in the U.S face very unfortunate circumstances. Particularly anatomical development of a child during birth could possibly be negatively affected if the mother is eating foods with hazardous chemicals or after birth the child may not have any deformities may experience physiological complications. Statistics show that pregnant women in the U.S have far less birth defects than a developing nation because the U.S is able to utilize technology to further enhance these conditions and issues. Opposed to a developing country, developing countries lack technological skills, doesn’t have scientist that specialize in hazardous chemicals or foods to eat, that would negatively impact a pregnant …show more content…
In both the U.S and India, pesticides are a primary factor of the ongoing birth defects for fetal and early childhood development. In fact, every farmer that uses pesticides and excessive chemicals on food, agricultural produce and soil to kill weeds, and get rid of bugs are playing a role in the impact of human health. Unlike India, the U.S is always evolving, the U.S is able to establish plans and regulate programs, put them in action and increase the quality of human health. As for India, because it is a developing nation it lacks the necessary resources to do so. Additionally, malnutrition and birth defects are prominent in India and the United states, unfortunately most women who get pregnant attain lower status, lower income and lower education. As a final point, with the rate of birth defects due to a lack of adequate food, agriculture, soil and pesticides being used, we could continue to go down the route of chemical-intensiveness, poisonous agriculture that hurts pregnant women, or we can take action and shift to
