I chose to major in agricultural and consumer economics with a concentration in agribusiness markets and management because of my family’s connection to agriculture. My father is a farmer and owns his own agriculture based business. My father’s business has inspired me to work in the agriculture industry and I would like to pursue a degree directly relate to that field. One goal I have for my future is to work in my father’s company and eventually, I would like to become CEO. My experiences…

American Dream can be defined as many different things. The definition of 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”…

Biomes are subsections of the biosphere, which are categorised based on areas with similar ecosystems. Typically, ecosystems are defined via similar vegetation, since this allows the development of subsequent food webs. A prime example of this is the Arctic biome, which is made up of low lying vegetation. Although not categorised by climate, it is intrinsically linked with the distribution of the world’s major biomes, as it is the underlying cause of what types of vegetation are able to inhabit…

Another main theme of the book is the connection to the past and ancient cultural ideals shepherding has kept regardless of the modernization surrounding the Lake District. Throughout the book, Rebanks references how in many ways, the lifestyle has held tight to the core values of farming. While there was a shift to machinery and quad bikes in order to make life a little easier on the farmers, the overall work and beliefs have remained the same for generations. One quotes states, “the past and…

OL-GEN140 Original Rough Draft Week 3/Jeffrey Ray Jackson Sr. 10/11/2016. Because our human being, health, may depend upon Agricultural biodiversity. We, should save gardening, from the old ways. Allowing, efforts to grow your or my own garden and we continue being a gardener. A garden, about Agricultural biodiversity, while gardening, concerns are human being’s healthiest, within Agricultural biodiversity. • My knowledge about Agricultural biodiversity. • My benefits, of owning my own land…

During my final semester in graphic design class, I created the design for a cat in a shirt pocket. Although it was for a class project, I instantly knew I wanted to offer my shirt design to others by making an online store. I named it Poco Pets and have been dreaming up, drawing, and planning it for the past year. Now I have come to Kickstarter to make the shirts a reality. Poco Pets shirts are pocketed tees with a variety of lovable pets chilling in the pockets. Each shirt is…

vault built in an Arctic mountainside to safeguard global food supplies. Now for the first time since the vault was opened on the Svalbard archipelago in 2008, seeds have been withdrawn. The original intent or charter if you will is designed to protect crop seeds such as beans, rice, and wheat against the worst cataclysms of nuclear war or disease (Doyle, 2015). Once you crack the seal, or pop the cork as the case maybe, it is easier to go back to the wine for a sip or two until the bottle is…

What We Are Eating Are Putting Our World and Health at Risks Food is essential to us. It provides energy and nutrients we need to survive. Therefore, we always want to improve the food’s appearance, nutrient values and increase crop yields. This leads to the creation of genetically modified (GM) foods. According to the World Health Organization, GM foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through…

IMERG rainfall for crop yield forecast, we will use a crop simulation model (CSM). One of the main goals of CSM is to estimate agricultural production as a function of weather (e.g., rainfall and ambient temperature) and soil conditions as well as crop management. The CSM uses sets of differential equations, and calculate both rate and state variables over time, normally from planting until harvest maturity. The CSM will enable us to conduct robust analysis of the impact on crop yields due to…
