Hello friends of Steemit, today I want to tell you about something I know a little because I make a research that touches the subject in a certain way, and the use of chemical articles, agricultural products or synthetic products in the vegetable, fruit and consumer product plantations .

(Taking samples to analyze the soil)

What is nowadays the use of chemical substances is of vital importance in the production of food and generation of quality products, besides that it is a way to ensure that the loss of them decreases due to the protection that these products provide in this case to the vegetable or product. However, the excessive use and in large quantities without pre-established quantities is what makes what we eat sea poison, paying little attention to what we are really introducing to our body.

In the market there are miles of chemical products, it is estimated that there may be around 5000 chemical products in the world, and many of these do not have the minimum requirements of application and safety, many times the people who are in these activities are useful for their plantation, and what they do not know is that those who use them for the excessive use of chemical substances, who are sending to the cities, products loaded with high toxicity

(Measuring apparent density of the soil)

When I did my research, I had the opportunity to talk with the producers, who assure that it is in our country: Venezuela can not change the standards to make these products, besides that many times it is due to the lack of these products separately, The mixtures of several are made All levels of soil layers are dried in the soil.

"We are working with the nails, Mr. Isidro assured, owner of a small plot outside the city of San Cristóbal, Táchira state" Mr. Isidro ensures that the use of a glass vessel to add chemicals to their crops , that is, it does not have a standard measure of what it is applying.

(Speaking a little with Mr. Isidro, producer)

What is it that we are actually consuming?

Today there are thousands of chemical products as we said, all have different functions, that is, not only apply products to add requirements to plants or crops, but we are also talking about Herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and a wide range and variety of chemical products, so do we really eat fruits and vegetables as they have taught us so healthy?

Many of these products are loaded with all these products, intense days of application that make the product look "nice" but do you know what we are putting in our mouths?

What collateral effects does these products bring?

The consumption of moderate doses of pesticides with certain constancy, can lead to a series of diseases such as the alteration of the nervous system, the decrease of the immune system and in the worst case with a long exposure can cause cancer.

What does each product depend on to produce a side effect?

This depends on several factors such as: type of agro-chemical, pesticide, fertilizer, fungicide, herbicide, etc., toxicity and quantity or dose of exposure.

Who will be most affected by this use of agro-chemicals?

Besides the consumer, the person directly affected is the producer and the people who live near these places where agricultural activities are carried out, in fact, one can have an infection that these pesticides can have on the immune system or endocrine function. Women who are in prenatal stages and are close to these areas can have a series of complications in the fetus of the baby, such as malformations and even exponential abortions, for which there are many diseases due to the handling of these chemicals such as:

• Chronic kidney diseases
• Colitis
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Heart diseases
• Hiportiroidismo
• Porous bowel syndrome
• Hepatic diseases
• Lou Gehring's disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Parkison
• Obesity
• Reproductive problems
• Reproductive diseases
• Cancer

What can be done to reduce the use of agro-chemicals?

The answer is simple: To resort to more environmentally friendly techniques to reduce the use of synthetic substances: As a result of agricultural modernization, a large part of the ecological principles under which agro-systems should be established have been shattered. which now and for some decades now has emerged the need to implement management practices focused on the development of eco-logically balanced and sustainable systems, which allow promoting the protection of each environmental factor involved in agro-productive processes and giving a improves quality of life for both the producer and the consumer, thus reducing the use of agro-chemicals, as cultural techniques are carried out that allows crops to be sustainable through the use of organic amendments, traps to ward off insects and animals that can damage crops, and a set of techniques already proven and capable of making a gro-sistema común, a sustainable agro-system and ecologist.

I think it is vital to be clear and be aware of what we are consuming, this is why organic products are often a bit more expensive, because their production requires more work, but in the long run it is more beneficial because we are moving away from our organism a huge load of chemicals that are very harmful to our body.
