    By taking full advantage of the technological advances that occurred between 1865 and 1900, Americans began to inhabit what was believed to be the inhabitable West. This caused an agricultural revolution in these new territories, as production of many staple crops moved westward. Farmers that chose to make this move became aggravated by the government policy and economic conditions that ultimately seemed to inhibit their success.…

    Agricultural efficiency gains in eighteenth century Europe can be attributed to a number of factors. Economic growth increased demand for crop production, and farmers were incentivized to raise productivity in order to achieve higher living standards becoming prevalent in cities. These productivity gains were achieved through innovations in agricultural technology, techniques, and tools. Farms improved their selective breeding techniques, and environmental changes helped produce more favorable yields. Further, the amount of labor needed per acre fell because of these improvements and the move towards large scale farming. In the eighteenth…

    The Green Revolution originated after an urgent need to promote food security with a growing trend in global population, as a way to promote self-sustainability and independence. As it is clear in the report given by the Food and Agriculture Organization (DOC 2), in the period ranging from around 1929 (great depression) and 1945 (end of World War II) the global food supply index was below the world population. What this means is that there was literally not enough food being produced world wide to feed the world population. This struggle of human kind to stay afloat in supplying the minimum needs for survival meant that a change needed to occur. The answer, as Dr. Norman Borlaug stated in his Nobel Lecture (DOC 4) was not simply planting more in the developing nations, since the lands in those areas were “tired, worn out, depleted of plant nutrients…” Clearly, what…

    The reformation of agriculture in England paved the way for industrialization. Wealthy landowners dramatically improved farming methods that amounted to an agricultural revolution. Charles Townshend’s four field crop rotation system was one of the major inventions. This system helped keep the ground good for farming almost all year by using complimentary crops to naturally rejuvenate the soil. Besides that, Jethro Tull’s seed planting drill was an innovation that allowed seeds to be easily planted deep into the earth instead of on top where the majority was washed away. These inventions aided the agriculture caused…

    The Agricultural Revolution of the West was significantly affected by the relationship of economic developments and environmental changes between 1865 and 1898. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided many new opportunities for farmers to get an abundance of Western land in an affordable manner. While this was great for many farming families who got suitable land, there was a different opinion from those in the Great Plains. They faced great challenges posed by Mother Nature, especially drought. The droughts brought devastation to the crops, and then to the farmers who couldn’t make enough money. However, the farmers were able to make many adaptations that allowed them to grow crops that survive the harsh conditions. The new development of…

    The subject of innovation and the innovative abilities of prehistoric hominid populations is a widely discussed and disseminated area of research throughout the academic community. It is to be noted, however, that only very rarely, if ever, is any differentiation made between distinct forms of innovation. This paper will endeavour, therefore, to identify two separate forms of innovation and justify the demarcation between the two by analysing the ways in which they are represented in the archaeological record and forming interpretations and hypotheses based on the evidence which highlight the effects both forms of innovation have on hominid populations and the implications for behavioural patterns. The two forms of innovation to be considered are those of technological and symbolic innovation, with technology representing the development of adaptations to functional material culture, such as stone tools, and symbolism signifying advancements in more creative aspects, comprising both developments in symbolic material culture as well as creative thought. It will be argued that such a differentiation is important to make as we move away from the rigid and holistic categorisation of hominid taxa and populations and progress towards more detailed and focused interpretations of prehistoric life and the identification of material and cognitive developments in our ancestors that have led up to and resulted in the human race in its current form.…

    There were many remarkable achievements of the Green Revolution. Generally, it increased the crop yield in India, Pakistan, Philippines, Mexico, Sri Lanka and other underdeveloped countries. Specifically, it turned Mexico from a country that imported half of its wheat consumed (1949) to a crop exporter by 1964. The Green Revolution is credited with saving 1 billion people from starvation in India and Pakistan alone. It is an undisputed fact that without methods stemming from the…
