I'd like the essay a lot better if you were to define "scientific work." Does it refer only to purely theoretical research aimed at better understanding plants and food? Or does it include technological advances too? If so, which ones is it most important to discuss? The Green Revolution, the genetic revolution, the attempts at creating a Green Green Revolution?
Without these distinctions, your essay seems to meander down a rough road full of logical potholes. You say, for instance, that pesticides are bad and that more people are becoming obese because of increased fat content in foods. But we only know these things through scientific research . . .
