Risk Of Agricultural Science And Technology

Modern society is a science -and-technology-oriented society. Creating material wellbeing for our human beings and changing our ways of life, science and technology at the same time has negative effects on us and nature and even threaten to our survival. The negative effects include nuclear radiation, genetically modified food, and agricultural chemical pollution etc. As it were, science and technology has already become a risk source which should not be ignored by our society. However, the side effects of science and technology, such as:nuclear power risks, risks of genetic engineering technology risks which the threat to human survival and damage potential role in modern societies, the growing crisis. Contemporary modern science and technology is becoming a big source of social risk, technology risk and is closely related to contemporary society. Our country is based on agriculture; the development of agriculture directly affects the progress of other social fields. Therefore, the focus of this study is the application of agricultural science and technology are at risk. This paper summarizes research results on the basis of Chinese and foreign scholars and defines the risks and characteristics of agricultural science and technology. By describing the features and risks of Agriculture through science and technology, focus on agricultural breeding technology, pesticide and fertilizer technology used technology risk analysis. As science and technology of various uncertainties, the application of agricultural science and technology may bring the potential risks. Finally, take the risk of GM crops as a case study, drawn from the ecological point of view of research and application of genetically modified crops brings benefits to mankind, it would also be at risk. Based on the results of this study, a comprehensive analysis of risk for a variety of technological uncertainty, hope for the Chinese scientific and technological risk regulation, provide some thoughts and suggestions. Risk is an inherent property of science and technology, technological risks can not be completely eliminated, but we hope that through various governments and the community work together to create science and technology to minimize the risk, so as to promote harmony of human society, sustained and steady development, and sustainable development of agriculture.
