每日口說挑戰【TED-Ed】真的有必要用殺蟲劑嗎? (Do we really need pesticides? - Fernan Perez-Galvez)

They've become an essential part of our food system. As populations have grown, monoculture, single crop farming, has helped us feed people efficiently. But it's also left our food vulnerable to extensive attack by pests. In turn, we've become more dependent on pesticides.

■monoculture [ˋmɑnə͵kʌltʃɚ] (農業專有名詞)單一栽培(作物)；單一經營/養殖(動物)；單一文化
■pest [pɛst]害蟲；討厭的人；(尤指孩子)討厭鬼
■pesticide [ˋpɛstɪ͵saɪd] 殺蟲劑，農藥
☺They've become an essential part of our food system. As populations have grown, monoculture, single crop farming, has helped us feed people efficiently. But it's also left our food vulnerable to extensive attack by pests. In turn, we've become more dependent on pesticides.
這些農藥已經成為我們食物系統中重要的一環。隨著人口增長，單作（也就是種植單一作物）協助了我們有效率地生產並供給食物給人們，但這也讓我們的食物很容易受到廣泛的病蟲害所波及，轉而，我們就變得更加地依賴農藥了。
【心得】毒性和藥性是一體的兩面啊～對蟲來說是毒，對作物來說卻是可以防蟲害的藥。這跟毒品可以治病，也可以致命是類似的概念吧!?
