1) Intensive farming practices include growing high-yield crops‚ using fertilisers and pesticides and keeping animals indoors. Food production is increased but there are unwelcome side effects. 2) Prevents energy being transferred from the crop to consumers. Reduces biodiversity. May poison helpful organisms. 3) Chemical insecticides (which kill insect pests). Herbicides which kill plants or weeds. 4) Ground water contamination: Chemicals can reach underground aquifers if there is persistent

fewer options exist to help people overcome disease when infected with antibiotic-resistant pathogens”. This shows that when the farmers are feeding and injecting antibiotics into the animals that they stay in the animals system. When humans eat it‚ it can get into their system which will cause them to become immune to the antibiotics so when they are sick it won’t help because their body is use to it. Some may say‚ “Nearly half of the antibiotics used are nearly identical to ones given to humans”
