Answer 1

Scientific reports show that the modern farming methods

1. Have overused the natural resource base like the use of ground water with the help of tubewells.

2. Modern farming requires more inputs than traditional farming. It requires chemical fertilizers, pesticides, pump sets, farm machinery, electricity, diesel, HIV seeds and water supply. Most of the inputs for modern farming are manufactured in factories. All this leads to more cost of production.

3. Use of modern methods has caused soil infertility and more and more chemical fertilizers have to be used.
