From growing vegetables naturally, many farmers have unfortunately began to add chemicals to the soil and plants, which increases their harvest yield, as well as shortens their harvest time. This means they can produce more vegetables each season and ultimately make more money. Today, many farmers are maximizing their profits this way, despite the harmful effect to humans and the environment. While they may have started farming to supply children and adults with optimal nutrition, many farmers today value profit, by using pesticides and chemicals, over the health and safety of consumers.
