Two examples of how the United States has increased its food production is by using genetically manufactured produce and concentrated animal feeding operations. 
The first example that I would like to discuss is corn. Corn has been genetically altered so that it yields more crops at a faster production rate. While these crops are producing more crop in less time, it doesn’t come without side effects to this mass production. Studies show that genetically modified (GM) foods, that eating them is associated with numerous health problems, and that growing numbers of doctors recommend non-GM diets as an effective way to clear up numerous ailments, including gastrointestinal problems.(Smith, M. D. (2013). There some ways to help to you to get healthier and reduce the side effects from eating a diet filled with genetically manufactured produce is to avoid eating anything with corn or soy, and any other processed foods that may use corn as a by product. By doing this gastrointestinal issues will clear up, allergies will also clear up.

The second example that I would like to provide is regarding concentrated animal feeding operations. Concentrated animal feeding is just bad all the way around, animals such as cows are all housed in a certain area and are housed for more than 45 days in the same place without proper vegetation and by doing this helps to cut the cost for proper care for the animals. Another downside of this is the potential to transmit microorganisms among members of the group as well as the potential to infect the surrounding biomes that are around. (Mary J. Gilchrist, Christina Greko, David B. Wallinga, George W. Beran, David G. Riley, & Thorne, P. (2007).
