For example, the traditional method of farming using traditional seeds and techniques may be replaced by commercial farming using genetically modified seeds and chemical fertilizers, which can lead to a loss of biodiversity and a decrease in the nutritional value of food.

As countries become more integrated into the global economy, they are more likely to adopt Western-style agricultural practices, which can lead to the displacement of traditional farming methods and the loss of traditional crop varieties. For example, the traditional method of farming using traditional seeds and techniques may be replaced by commercial farming using genetically modified seeds and chemical fertilizers, which can lead to a loss of biodiversity and a decrease in the nutritional value of food.
