प्रश्न
Planting and growing more crops a year seems to be progressed by normal standards, but the chapter makes a case against it. Give reasons.
उत्तर
According to normal standards, growing more crops a year is indeed progressive but the chapter makes a case against it because, in the name of progress, we are being fed hybrid crops and adulterated food items. We are inching towards illnesses and poor health with pesticide infested products and artificial agricultural enhancers. This will only lead to health risks.
