A recent survey conducted by a group of top economists reveals that in many countries the proportion of populations involved in food production is decreasing considerably and an accordingly higher percentage of food is supplied by farms or factories located thousands of miles away. This trend is not restricted to developing nations where most food used to be supplied by individual families, and I think modern lifestyles are largely responsible for this.

Modern society is based on greediness and selfishness, so it is natural that profiteering becomes the basis of businesses. Under such scenario, it is not surprising that owners of farms make every effort to enlarge their farms while at the same time reducing the number of farm workers, perusing more profits. This has been made possible by the social development and the introduction of scientific farming methods. As a result, more and more foods are produced and supplied by the limited number of farms and consumers have no choice but to buy almost all food products traveling thousands of miles from farms.

Many people are worried about this trend, claiming that this is of negative impact, especially when it comes to the safety of food and farmland degradation because of the profiteering of businessmen and the introduction of pesticides and fertilizers in the cultivation of crops. But their assumption is refuted by the fact that our quality of life in general has been greatly improved, which is largely attributable to the change of food supply. Besides, more farmland, grassland and forests are protected because of the introduction of scientific farming methods, for example, factory farming, greatly reducing farmland degradation and water and soil erosion.

If this were not true, then it would be difficult to explain the fact that few scientists and wise politicians are trying to reverse our modern way of living by introducing simpler ways of life. Apparently, most of us are satisfied with our new sources of food, for they have clearly contributed to the ever-rising happiness index. (333 words)
