irradiation. Radioisotopes have changed the way we live, through all fertilizers, food preservation, insect control, and mutating a plant seed so it can fend off harmful pests and a better climate variation. Benefits of nuclear science include the mass reduction in fertilizer. Most farmers need to use fertilizer to enrich the ground, especially in new developing countries. With new technologies farmers can use the specific fertilizer and actually know the nutrient value of their crop.…

The United States produces 254 million lbs of trash every year*. 1.4 million lbs of litter get dumped into the ocean yearly which amounts to the conservative estimate of 300 million lbs of litter in the ocean total**.

world. It helped increase yields, helped with soil erosions, and help feed the rising population of this world. Along with all this increase in yields, production, and efficiency also brings some short-comings. This much increased in machinery and fertilizer is helping in polluting a lot of the ecosystems around agriculture.
