One is factory cotton farming, which uses chemicals and synthetic fertilizers to enhance the production of cotton and this type of farming is great because you can harvest lots of cotton in just a short span of time. On the other hand, using synthetic fertilizers has a negative effect on the balance of ecosystem because on the long run, these chemicals will seep into the bodies of water, which may cause water pollution that can affect not just the fishes, plants but human beings. Organic farming or ecological agriculture is the best option if you want to protect the environment, so that the future generations can benefit also.
