Advancements in technology have changed how business is conducted, with some industries under- going dramatic changes since the dawn of the 21st century. While agriculture might not be the first industry peo- ple think of when reflecting on the changing nature of in- dustry, The National Institute of Food and Agriculture notes that modern farms are vastly different than those from a few decades ago. Farmers have long relied on technology to make their operations as efficient, pro- ductive and profitable as pos- sible. Precision agriculture, which refers to technologi- cal advances designed to pro- pel agriculture into the mod- ern, computerized and infor- mation-based world, is help- ing the agricultural sector become more profitable and efficient while also improv- ing safety and making agri- culture more eco-friendly. In addition, the NIFA notes that the modern agricultural in- dustry employs technology such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and global position- ing systems. If it sounds complicated, that's because it is. For ex- ample, modern sensors can detect soil conditions, poten- tially producing hundreds of readings per second. These sensors help farmers know the best possible time to plant seeds so they can reach their full potential. That improves both the efficiency of modern farms as well as their output. The NIFA also notes that agricultural technology has reduced waste. For instance, thanks to agricultural tech- nology, farmers no longer have to apply water, fertiliz- ers and pesticides uniform- ly across entire fields. Tech- nology has shown that farm- ers can simply target specific areas or even treat individual plants differently. That saves time and allows farmers to use only minimal quantities of water, fertilizer and pesti- cides. In addition, according to the NIFA, employing ag- ricultural technology in this fashion leads to higher crop productivity and reduces run- off of chemicals into rivers and groundwater, thereby re- ducing the farm's impact on local ecosystems. Modern farms are techno- logical marvels where vari- ous technologies are being employed to produce crops more efficiently and safely than ever before. Simple ways to maintain braces Many adults recall having braces as children. While braces have evolved dramati- cally over the last few decades, modern braces benefit teeth in much the same ways as those adults recall from their youth. Braces are often recom- mended to help straighten crooked teeth, correct mis- aligned bites and/or address overcrowded teeth. Mainte- nance is essential to ensure braces are effective and pro- vide long-lasting benefits, and the American Association of Orthodontists offers these tips to protect braces and pre- vent patients from developing tooth decay • Avoid certain foods. Hard, sticky, crunchy, or chewy foods should be avoid- ed. Many candies and snacks fit that description, so par- ents of children with braces and adults with braces of their own should make sure these foods are not readily available around the house. The A AO specifically mentions foods such as caramel, gummies, licorice, jelly beans, and even soft drinks among the foods to avoid when wearing ortho- dontic braces. • Be extra cautious around Halloween. The days sur- rounding Halloween can be an especially difficult time to maintain braces. Candy is ev- erywhere come the end of Oc- tober, but people with braces must be diligent in avoiding hard-shelled peanut candies and nut-filled candies. • Brush twice per day, but be careful. The experts at Oral-B® note that careful cleaning is required when wearing braces. Plaque bac- teria can be easily trapped inside and around braces, so it's especially important that people with braces careful- ly brush each day. Remov- able parts, including elastics, should be removed prior to brushing. Clean each tooth in- dividually in a circular motion, tilting the brush as necessary to reach small front teeth. • Continue regular visits to your orthodontist as well as your dentist. Regular visits to the orthodontist are required when wearing braces. These visits are necessary so brac- es can be adjusted and ortho- dontists can make sure there are no signs of gum disease. But Oral-B® notes that it's just as important to continue visit- ing the dentist while wearing braces. Dentists can perform routine services designed to protect tooth surfaces from decay while wearing brac- es, making dental visits a vi- tal component of orthodontic maintenance. Orthodontic braces help people have healthy, beauti- ful smiles. Maintenance while wearing braces is vital to avoid disease and produce a mouth- ful of pearly whites. candidate
