Imagine sinking your teeth into Thanksgiving dinner. What do we have here? Ah yes! There’s some corn over here, soaked with temptatious butter and drenched in salt and pepper. The turkey in all it’s glory, the savory aroma filling your nostrils as you patiently wait your turn to grab the Thanksgiving necessity. All the stuffing, maybe even some potatoes. Oh! Don’t forget about the pumpkin pie! We Americans are so lucky that we have abundant access to food. Food that is delicious. Food that…

Evolution is the theory of development from earlier forms. Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, can originate back to ancient nations when they began manipulating different organisms to appease their needs. Today more than 75% of the world’s food is attributed by GMOs, yet only 37% of Americans agree that they are safe to eat. The biggest misconception between scientists and the public is actually over GMOs: 88% of U.S. scientists say genetically modified foods are safe to eat.…

Types of crops farmed in Madagascar are coffee, vanilla, sugar cane, cocoa, cloves, rice, beans, peanuts, and bananas (Jarosz, 1993) . Rice is one of the main foods of Madagascar. Fishing, cattle, goats, and poultry are also important. Other industries are seafood…

GMO’s or genetically modified organisms, were first introduced into the general population in 1982 when the FDA approved the first GMO. Since then, their usage highly increased, resulting in many Gmo foods being eaten a majority of people. Over the following years, the production of the GMO’s increased, along with their negative effects. Agriculture in high scales already hurts the environment, and the overproduction of food that the GMO’s result in directly harms the environment on an even…

nitrogen, and controlling weeds, diseases, and pests through crop rotation, natural predators and biodiversity (Araujo & Melo, 2010, p. 2420). Several management skills are present in organic farming which reduce erosion such as contour farming, terracing, and shelter-belts; thus allowing crop production on areas such as hillsides, mountainous regions and windy planes. Other methods help soil fertility and crop protection such as crop rotation, intercropping or planting diverse plants together,…

breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste, plant material and crops produces biogas. The whole process works like a big concrete stomach would: Organic materials like manure, food scraps, crop residue, or wastewater sludge (known as feedstock) are fed into the digester, where it’s heated to 38-40 degrees Celsius (temperature of a cow’s stomach) and stirred for 30-60 days,…

Pollution is the most important problems of the rights in the era of science and technology and has been associated with the era of the Industrial Revolution, and particularly in the twentieth century, where I opened this revolution against human technology and the potential of scientific massive exploitation of natural resources problem, but included many drawbacks of the most important pollution problem and the reason the main core of pollution in the production process that is not accompanied…

In 1750, a revolution started globally. This revolution was called the Industrial Revolution; it changed agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation & technology forever. It’s also changed peoples live social, economically, and culturally; but the most important effect it’s taken is its effect on the environment, the world. Humans will not be able to survive the results of human development due to land degradation, lack of water management skills, pollution, and increasing carbon…

different chemically made, synthetic pesticides including herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides as well as a variety of fertilizers infused with chemicals and man-made products. The exact types and methods of use for these vary depending on the farm, crop, and soil that the product is being grown in. There are benefits and disadvantages to both methods of farming and when deciding…
