Report
Van Le My research question is: "Should the US ban fertilizers in food production?" Viewpoint 1: The Us should ban fertilizers in food production According to Massimi, he argues that fertilizers have detrimental effects on ecosystems, including water pollution, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss (Massimi). Moreover, some public health experts may support banning fertilizers to mitigate the health risks associated with chemical fertilizers, such as nitrate contamination of drinking water and potential adverse health effects from exposure to synthetic chemicals (Houlihan). Overall, they both emphasize the importance of not using fertilizer in food production to prevent those consequences. Viewpoint 2: The Us should not ban fertilizers in food production According to Sharma, fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture by boosting crop yields and ensuring consistent food production. Fertilizers help to ensure the consistency of food production by providing a reliable source of nutrients to crops. Banning fertilizers could lead to decreased agricultural productivity and potentially exacerbate food shortages, particularly in regions with already strained food systems. Overall, she emphasizes the need to balance these concerns with the imperative of ensuring adequate food production to meet the needs of a growing global population.
