Farmer

Farmers markets are scarce around campuses in the fall season. Most students would have to drive off campus to find fresh produce. This can create issues with the students schedule and discourage them to buy locally if a fast food restaurant is more convenient for them. By creating a campus wide farmers market we can assure students will always have the opportunity to buy fresh produce at their convenience. UAB’s undergraduate student government association (USGA) held a small farmers market in September, but they have yet to hold another. USGA’s market consisted of tea and vegetable vendors including our dining hall, The Commons. At this market students were able to learn how to make some basic meals using the produce from the market. With…

of the farmers hands gesturing to a basket full of harvested vegetables; lettuce, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers onions and more. In the background is a huge field, devoid of any other farmers or farm workers. The farmer is depicted as the character you think of when you think of the word “farmer.” Red flannel, jean overalls, wedding ring visible, and I bet if the head was included in this picture it would have a straw hat on top. I think it’s interesting that the text included in this…

your breath and don’t get your hopes up, that is what the bottles are doing waiting for the rain. Simile is used to show how everything is so dry. “the trees dried thin as hat racks”.

If they say yes, they could achieve this by lending the money to purchase the acquired property. If that failed, I would then go to local banks and ask them for a loan. These loans could either be in one payment up front, or in multiple payments to mirror those I had promised to the land owners. I would then ask the farmer to assemble as many of the hard-working, local farmers as possible to announce our plans. To start off, Ihe would ask them to temporarily work for lower wages. Once the…

Specifically, most cocoa growers from the Ivory Coast and Ghana are farmers on very low income who would grow just enough to provide for themselves and their families. Ordinarily, cocoa is grown alongside their food crops, which doesn’t exactly encourage neither a strong workers’ society, competition between local farmers to produce more, or the potential expansion of commerce. However, it is imperative for Fairtrade in the cocoa industry because of how much it benefits all parties involved.…

[local] farmer is free to try small crops of various fruits and vegetables that would probably never make it to a large supermarket” (Source A). These varieties can range from different apples to different potatoes. These large businesses and supermarkets can only have their central focus on selling an abundant amount of food. Plenty of people would not be interested in consuming the same categories of food daily. Thus, the variety from local foods would be engaging for the individual. There is…
