In our capitalist society there exists a constant struggle between the interests of big businesses and consumers, a war that sees some of its fiercest battles in the food industry. The “consequential question” that Michael Pollan raises of “to cook or not to cook” is very relevant to our efforts to maintain some degree of personal autonomy within modern society (Pollan 22).

Species diversity is the variety of organisms that make up a community It has two components: • SPECIES RICHNESS: is the total number of different species in the area • RELATIVE ABANDANCE: is the proportion each species represents in that certain…

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, Japan. It entails attaching horsehair bristles to a remote-controlled drone the size of a power adapter, and coating the bristles with a special gel that allows them to gather pollen from flowers and distribute them as a honeybee would.

Honeybees are among the most common and efficient pollinators in the world (NRDC, 2011). They generate over $15 billion per year worth of crops, along with an annual supply of honey estimated at $150 million in the US alone (NRDC, 2011). In recent decades, they have been devastated by the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which accounts for the loss of one third of the population (NRDC, 2011). Unfortunately, the circumstances surrounding this global syndrome remain elusive (NRDC, 2011).…
