Damage of Pesticides in Banana Agriculture Farming

What I know

What I know

Evolution of Bananas

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

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

Bananas have also become less varied

Pesticides

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

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

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

Banana cultivation

Bananas are grown in more tropical areas

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

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.
