Bacteria such as Listeria, E. coli and Salmonella are found in water and soil. Potatoes may absorb some of these bacteria while growing, as well as during harvest or packaging. Cooking the potatoes destroys the bacteria. Eating the potato raw may cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fever and an upset stomach.Toxins. Two toxic chemicals (steroidal glycoalkaloids) solanine and chaconine are naturally present in potatoes and are important components of their resistance against pests and pathogens.otatoes may absorb some of these bacteria while growing, as well as during harvest or packaging.

4. Pastoral Farming-invovles the rearing of animals. 5. Intensive Farming-where the farm size is small in comparison with the large amount of labour, and inputs of capital, fertilisers etc. which are required. 6. Extensive Farming-where the size of a farm is very large in comparison to the inputs of money, labour etc..
