When asked what one believes to be the impact of technology on agriculture, a standard and
common answer might focus on scientific and technological developments that have been made in all areas of the agriculture industry. These developments include (but are certainly not limited to) genetic advancements in the livestock industry, bio-tech agronomic advancements (the implementation of genetically modified organisms in crops), the use of GPS technology in agricultural equipment, and the use of agricultural byproducts in alternative fuel sources. In essence, natural resources were provided to mankind; with time, mankind’s knowledge pertaining to feeding the world has developed in such a way that has ultimately helped to produce food, fuel, and fiber more efficiently.
