Industrial Farming

Is organic farming better than industrial farming? Each type of agriculture has its own pros and cons. Industrial farming is very helpful in the short term aspect. It makes produce readily and conveniently available for the common man. It also mass produces our crops, making them plentiful.
More known, perhaps, are industrial farming's negative impacts. Industrial farming disrupts the local environment. It also leads to an increase of ozone pollution and usage of fossil fuels. There is also an increased health risk due to pesticides. Steroids given to cattle can also be dangerously health threatening to people. These trends can change if America chooses to use the organic farming method.
