Developed Countries- GM Crops, Higher yields as crops are ,more resistant to pests, effects are unknown so may have long term health impacts, People think they are unhealthy and unethical so demand is reduced, Can be used to meet demands for more food with a rising population, scientists say they can breed them to taste better, and last longer in storage meaning less food waste, Developed Country- New Technology, Work is done more efficiently. This saves the farmer money in labour costs. , They are initially expensive to invest in meaning farmers may struggle to afford them in the beginning going into debt, Fewer jobs will be available in the agriculture industry leading to rural depopulation, Crops are harvested faster so they are fresher, less physical work for people so improved standards of living, Developed Countries- Biofuels, They are much cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels, which are costly and pollute the atmosphere, May not be economically beneficial in the long-term compared to fossil fuels as very little is known about them, Trees do not have to be removed for fuel, so they protect the soil from erosion, Like ethanol they are more corrosive than petrol or diesel so can't be used in aeroplanes or boats, Developed Country- Diversification, There can be increased levels of tourism , There is an increased litter in the area , More jobs could be created in the local area. , Farmers have a more stable income as there as there are more sources, Traffic congestion may cause air and noise pollution, Footpath erosion increase as too many people use paths. , Developed Country- Organic Farming, Lower crop yields and income as crops take longer to grow without fertiliser, High demand as people think that they are healthier , They are more labour intensive and require more time and skilled farmers to grow, decreasing levels of river pollution as fertilisers as there is no fertiliser run-off into nearby water sources meaning wildlife in rivers is protected, Developing Country- GM Crops, Higher yields as crops are more resistant to pests, Effects are unknown which may lead to long term health impacts, people think they are unethical and unhealthy so demand is reduced, Can be used to meet the demand for more food with a rising population, Additional nutrients can be added e.g. Golden Rice which can help to reduce levels of malnutrition in some regions, Developing Country- New Technology, Living standards have improved as farmers have money to buy goods, leaves fewer jobs for people leading to rural depopulation, There is less physical work involved for farmers, tractors make the jobs on farms more efficient , Crop yields have doubled so farmers are making more profit, Expensive to buy so farmers have to take out loans , without the technology like tractors farmers are struggling to compete with other farms, soil loses fertility overtime due to over-irrigation, Developing Country- Government Policy, Guaranteed fair prices for goods meaning farmers are encouraged to produce more, Creates a surplus in product leading to food waste, Introduce set aside land- stopped surplus, Apply quotas to certain products to limit the amount produced.
