debuted a self-driving farming vehicle at the Farm Progress Show in Idaho. These vehicles are controlled via tablet and have the opportunity to offer autonomous tillage, seeding, and planting (Dormehl, 2016). In addition, they offer radar, cameras, and obstacle detection which according to Mark Neilson, Marketing Director at Autonomous Solutions Inc., “allows an operator to plan paths for fields, adjust paths for…

The (2006) movie Marie Antoinette depicts the lifestyle of the Queen of France and her ultimate fall through total disconnect from her subjects. This movie visually displays the decadent self-indulgence enjoyed by the French Monarchy at the expense of their people. One scene of Petit Trianon [Fig 12] demonstrates the Queen and her friends basking in a privileged idea of being “one with nature” as advocated by French Philosopher Rousseau. Most importantly is the scene showing class disconnections…

“foods that are grown without synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, modern genetic engineering techniques (including genetically modified crops), chemical fertilizers, or sewer sludge.” (Winter, Davies, 2006). Farmers use crop rotation, tillage, cultivation practices, cover crops, and natural products in order to keep their farms organic. However, organic foods can use a synthetic material, which is defined as a substance that is formulated or manufactured by processes that can…

detrimental. Inorganic materials added to the soil and plants polluted the soil and water systems in and around the fields. Water pollution exposed people and the environment downstream to the lethal chemicals being used in the farm fields. Pollution and tillage resulted in lower soil quality increasing topsoil erosion. Unintentional consequences in water use, soil deprivation, and chemical runoffs have had grave environmental impacts past of areas of cultivation and because of this the green…

3. Results Considering the morphological characteristics of the ecotypes, the cladode shape was elliptic or ovate, the number of spines varied among three classes (many, intermediate or few), the flowers had two types of petal color (scarlet or yellow), the fruit was elliptic or ovoid and the pulp color was white, pale yellow or orange (Table 2). The OFI populations studied showed statistically significant differences for DM of the fruits, F (17, 34.24) = 31.61, p < 0.05, which varied…

Genetically-modified(GM) crops are fostered through the integration of different biologic genes by tissue culture and gene recombination technology, the majority of those embraces crops corns, cotton, bean and rapeseed, which occupied 16% of total cultivated area among those original crops. Countries have been tested over 200 types of GM crops around the world since 1998s, it is increasingly playing a significant role in the society. Environmental organizations wish to curb the production of GM…

Lars Lindgren BIOL 3416-508 Common Arguments Against and in the Support of GMOs The policies surrounding genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are one of the most divisive issues in biotechnology and genetic engineering as genetically modified crops directly influence today’s two main areas of current controversy: the environment and the economy. Criticism of environmental conditions are regularly based off the idea that “natural” is better. Besides the given premise that GMOs are…

to use one broad spectrum herbicide, therefore preventing of mixed pesticides that required several applications to get the job done and can damage humans and the environment. (Kreipe) Also as a result of the adoption of herbicide tolerant crops, tillage is reduced which ultimately prevent the runoff of chemicals into the environment. (Kreipe) As a result of the fewer applications of pesticides, tractors use significantly less fossil fuels, which when burned release greenhouse gas emissions such…
