Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
This occurred in the 1950s when industrial agribusinesses sought to create more high-yield varieties (HYV) to increase productivity worldwide. It resulted in soil depletion and contamination, loss of nutritional value in plants and loss of diversity in cultigens, and decreasing resistance to pests and diseases over time. It also disrupted social organization on the level of the family.
