Agricultural technologies have negatively impacted the environment through 

soil degradation,
air and water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and the disruption of food web

It has the potential to increase efficiency, improve quality, and lower costs.
However, there are some disadvantages to the use of technology in agriculture.
Technology creates more work for farmers and can also reduce the personal connection
that farmers have to their land.
For example, the study considered potential impacts of increased automation in food production on
society and the environment. While automation may reduce the labor and agrochemical costs of food
production and processing, it may increase energy costs. Similarly, automation may reduce human
exposure to harmful agrochemicals and dangerous equipment, but it may also decrease the number of jobs
in agricultural production, resulting in more urban migration and greater urban unemployment and
poverty, and ultimately in social conflict in the absence of adequate social support.

what are the disadvantages of food technology?


However, there are some disadvantages to these technologies that should be
considered. One of the most significant disadvantages is that food processing can
strip away many nutrients found in fresh foods. In addition, processed foods often
contain added chemicals and preservatives, which can harm our health. 1

Fertilizers and chemicals can boost productivity, but they can deplete soil fertility over time.

– Thomas Jefferson
the livelihood of small and marginal farming households is decreasing, and they increasingly seek
employment opportunities outside of agriculture for which they are not skilled. One of the possible ways to
address this problem is to increase investment in digital infrastructure in public-private partnership mode and
make small holding agriculture more profitable by reducing the cost of operations, mitigating risk, and robust
market linkages through technology intervention.
