hey here is ur answer
Proper crop protection is important to produce higher quality crops with minimal wastage. This increase in productivity leads to less land, water and labour being required for food crops. With less land being used biodiversity is preserved and less greenhouse gases are emitted. It also ensures more food reaches the shops and markets in good condition, which helps to keep the prices down.
If we were to stop using some of the more common protection methods with our fruit and vegetable crops, there would be a lot less choice in the food available to buy on a local level. Global yields would drop by approximately one third. Vegetables we have become accustomed to or have taken for granted would only be readily available in certain regions. They would be available at exorbitant prices and questionable freshness and quality in others.
I hope this helps you
