What I know

Banana cultivation

Free Trade is a brand that ensures that products are made in an environment safe for employees and the environment, and a percentage of sales go back to the farmer.

Bananas are usually grown in low/medium income countries, where the government can be easily corruptible

Bananas are grown in more tropical areas

Pesticides

Pesticides can also harm the environment. Runoff from farm fields can slip into the water and damage the aquatic habitats. In addition, killing the pests of an area can destroy the food suply of some animals, therefore forcing them to migrate to other areas, destroying the food supply of other animals, and so on. This can have a snowball effect and ultimately destroy the biodiversity in one area

Pesticides have a lot of negative impacts on the society. They can cause serious health problems to the farmer, including cancer, after long periods of exposure. In addition, runoff can leak into the water supply of cities, and contaminate the water supply

There are a lot of pesticides that are used in agricultural farming to help ensure that pests do not damage the crops the farmer produces

Evolution of Bananas

Bananas have also become less varied

Because of this Monoculture, this made the bananas more vulnerable to disease

Banana have evolved over the years from a a small fruit with huge seeds inside, and a very pasty texture, to the big banana we know today
