The book “Harvest for Hope”, written by Jane Goodall, outlines and inspires the audience to eat mindfully and healthily. The author explains how a great portion of our nutrient intake is unknowingly mixed with toxins, and made in miserable conditions. Dr. Goodall explains this successfully by analyzing the typical practices of industrial agriculture, which then leads her on to examine the repercussions of these techniques, pressing the point that we are fatally detached from nature and it’s…

However, chemicals aren’t the only ways to control disease. Quarantine can be a simple way to stop the spread of disease. As Randy Ploetz, a professor of plant pathology, says in his article: “In pathogen-free regions, effective quarantine and exclusion are essential.” Once soil is infected by Panama disease there is no way to remove it (Ploetz). Quarantine can slow the spread but diseases like Panama and Black Sigatoka are easily tracked in on boots, farming equipment or machinery. The Farmer…

Monsanto Sustainability and Ethical Conduct A corporation, like any organization of people, has civic responsibilities in terms of legal and ethical conduct. Monsanto’s very name has at this point come to be loaded a very clear set of preconceived notions in the vast majority of the Western Public Discourse, and the positions are stated essentially as “fact” in much of that discourse. In fact, much of what counts as open debate, is artfully undertaken with the company’s overall malevolence as an…

The GMO products have covered the whole world almost completely. GMO foods have been growing since they were invented. Therefore, it is concluded that industrialized food is good for you more than it is bad for you because it fights malnutrition and is very healthy. The first reason GMO is good for you is that it fights malnutrition. Even though this may be linked to dangerous effects, research is still needed for those subjects. Starving children die because of malnutrition. Tons of tons of…

Another reason GMOs aren’t very successful is because there are alternatives to these foods. Just because we have a new way to engineer and grow crops doesn’t mean we have to eat it. We have been developing agriculture for thousands of years, so we can choose not only our foods, but also how they are grown. The New Leaf potato ran into this problem. The New Leaf potato reduced the need for pesticides because of its genetic modification. It wasn’t successful because people had the ability to make…

1. What new technologies enabled the growth of interregional trade networks and agricultural developments? In this time period people made different technologies for different uses. Three things that are very useful are the compass, caravan, and the plow. The compass was more useful for trading. It was used to tell basic location using North, South, East, and West. It made getting to a location for trade much easier. The caravan could’ve been used for both trade and agriculture. It made…

Have you been to the store’s lately to buy meat? Well if so chances are that you picked up some Genetically Modified meats and I Am here to tell you some facts on why (GMO’S) are bad for the animals and the humans that eat It. Genetically modified animals in my opinion is bad because you could harm and even kill the animals. Another reason Is because, the humans that eat the genetically modified animals and at a risk to die because of what they put into the animals. most people think GMO…

Did you know that Jell-O has been a part of American culture for over a century? Jell-O, a dessert made from prepared powder, is something that we, humans, eat everyday. To keep a solidify figure, the Jell-O requires gelatin as a part of its ingredients. For my experiment, I will be determining whether certain enzymes in fruits prevent gelatin from the process of solidification, and if there’s a way to still include these fruits without ruining the dessert. The research question of the project…

Farms in America or in general are always portrayed as a large piece of land in the countryside having a house with a red barn with some animals from pigs, cows, goats, horses, fruits and vegetables they grow to sell or to use for themselves. The type of farms seen in movies or books like Charlotte’s Web and Babe. In reality these family farms depicted in our thoughts aren’t the real deal as seen in King Corn. Farms are massive in size and productivity and is seen as a huge operation of…

Dear Parliament and Royal Court of Britain, I will provide a recommendation and information about the Southern colonial region. The Southern colonial region has a rather humid climate, consisting with mild winters and humid summers. Depending on the happening of the battle, it can either be a positive or a negative consequence. If the battle is in summer, then our fighting colonists may be in bad conditions. If the battle is in winter, then they will be unharmed in the weather. For its…
