The agricultural land use zones are explained by two models which are Von Thunen model and Sinclair model. Von Thunen used concept of concentric rings to support his ideas on land use zones which is similar to Sinclair’s model. Each concentric ring has agricultural use which is practiced in it. The farming is more intensive from inner rings and more extensive as you move to outer rings. Von Thunen model describes the significance of distance and location. Von Thunen’s model is based on economic…

When we talk about agriculture, indigenous knowledge has been practice before coming up of modern technology/science. Indigenous knowledge is a product of the adaptation of farming practices to the local Environment, creating unique indigenous farming practices and food culture.

Other names for it include: ‘local knowledge’, ‘folk knowledge’, ‘people’s knowledge’, ‘traditional wisdom’ or ‘traditional science’.…

analysis on table 1 presented the demographic characteristics of cattle farmers in the study area. A large proportion were male (95.9%) than the female (4.1%), which is an indication that male participated more than female in the awareness and the use of crop residue urea feeding technology. The findings also revealed that majority (40 – 50 years) of cattle farmers are in their middle ages which implies that age was an important variable as it reflects the physical strength for work. Also, in…

The pavement surface also precludes crop growing in underlying soil; raised soil beds will need to be constructed. Moreover, litter and pollution from surrounding urban surfaces must be closely monitored and mitigated to ensure healthy plant growth. Location 5: Phelps Hall roof (on-campus)…

Plantation crops and the Southern Economy The South’s economy wasn't as strong as some people would have thought. Even with the money that the South made from their cash crops, there were 3 reasons why the economy was weak (Economy of the South 36). First, southern farmers mainly relied on tobacco, cotton, and sugar. These were also known as cash crops (Economy of the South 36).

the American Dream depends on who you ask; it differs from person to person. For example, if you ask a farmer what their American Dream is they may say it is caring for their crops and livestock and living a stable life. However, if you ask a corporate executive what their American Dream is they may say it is rising to the top of the corporate ladder and making a lot of money. The point? The concept of the “American Dream” is entirely subjective, it depends on who you are and what you want in…

Businessmen may support it because they can earn more…
