Crop residue

pests and other vermin which can cause harm to the plants. However these pesticides have few disadvantages. There have been several cases where the use of excess pesticides are affecting the health of the people and the quality of food. The pesticide residues in food products are causing several problems. Hence there is a need to introduce new form of pesticides which are less harmful and have less ill effects. Using the latest…

natural is a healthier choice for everyone. Vibrant colored plants that are chemical free welcome bees without them being harmed. Beekeeper numbers has declined in the past years. Humans rely mostly on domesticated honey bees to pollinate gardens and crops. Local beekeepers sell honey, there are benefits for your health from eating honey. Keeping local beekeepers in business is good for both the humans and the bees (Baskind). Buying honey from local beekeepers is safer for the honeybees. Big…

butterflies, and etc. With this happening it is causing bees and butterflies to die and if bees die they can't be there to make pollination on our many food crops. GMOs were met to help but are slowly killing other important things that we need. " Toxic residues are left in the soil of GM crops. Nutrients are not returned to the soil in mono crops and from GMO foods, meaning that soil is becoming dry and void of all nutrients, generally integral to the growing process" (The environmental impact)…

Think about the many times people have intentionally killed bees or other pollinators, even though they weren’t doing any harm. All of these times add up, and consequently a major bee crisis evolves. Beekeepers continue to report hive losses each year. This means that pollinating insects have been on a steep decline for many reasons. The bees must be helped now, especially since 90% of the world’s nutrition is pollinated by bees (Green Peace, n.d.). The decline in pollinators worldwide over the…

By the 1950s crop yields were being affected, and by the 1990s every region had been infected resulting in production dropping over 50%. So, in the late 1980’s, the University of Hawaii began developing a papaya resistant to the Papaya Ringspot Virus. Certain viral…

land to move to new habitats. Weather patterns could change, causing flooding,drought, and an increase in damaging storms. Global warming could melt enough polar ice toraise the sea level. In certain parts of the world, human disease could spread, and crop yieldscould decline. And one popular theory is that global warming will usher in the Great…

gasses that attribute to global warming, whereas power plants rely on the combustion of fossil fuels to produce energy (Povey). Wind energy will also help to stop acid rain indirectly by reducing these emissions. Acid rain is exceedingly harmful to crops and livestock in affected areas. By using wind energy, some of these pollutants are reduced and hopefully will soon be eliminated. There are a few negative things about these wind turbines, but they are not too severe. Wind turbines can be a…

Joscelyn Behlin Babylon and Hebrew Before Christ, two major organizations were created which also set the tone for the emergences of civilization. Hammurabi being the leader of Babylon while Moses led the Hebrews, both men created regulations to keep their cultivation within peace.

(Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea), and Latin America (Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia). The largest producing country by volume is Côte d’Ivoire, which produces thirty-three percent of the global supply (NCF). Because cacao beans are not an industrialized crop, eighty to ninety percent of cacao beans come from small, family-run farms, with approximately five to six million cacao farmers worldwide (NCF). The total production has increased by about thirteen percent from 4.3 million metric tons in…
