food shortage is becoming increasingly severe in this day and age. There are several reasons which led to the universal food shortage and they are interconnected to each other. Increasing world population‚ extreme weather and the wide spread use of biofuels are the main causes of worldwide shortage of food.

Although this industry generates an immense amount of wealth‚ many criticize the multi-billion dollar industry on wasting land for biofuel crops instead of food. Anyone involved in this industry struggles with finding the correct balance between feeding the people and gaining large sums of money because of biofuel. Consequently‚

Laboratory in Richland‚ Washington had gathered together algae and water and created a form of crude oil very similar to petroleum‚ all in less than an hour (Nguyen). As we’ve been discussing and learning in class‚ algae have proven to be the future of biofuels due to its many benefits as compared to petroleum. Throughout the last few decades‚ scientists have been making attempts at simplifying the process of refining algae in terms of growing the organism and the costs associated with production and farming

TMA04 Question 1 In TMA02 I asked my tutor to give me specific feedback on the learning outcome Ky1. I was advised that I should take a little more care with significant figures and scientific notation. There has not been much emphasis on significant figures and scientific notation in TMA04. However I have taken the advice given by my tutor and broadened it to include attention to detail in all areas dealing with numbers within this assignment especially in questions 2 ai) 2ci) & 3bi).

It is an established fact that the country is the "world’s seventh largest energy producer‚ accounting for about 2.49% of the world’s total annual energy production." In this regard‚ the need for an alternative energy source is equally important in making India a superpower status by the year 2020. I have no doubt‚ this sector will play a vital role in the India’s energy future‚ with the recent approval of National Biofuel Policy by the Indian government

Before we can think of a way we can reverse this process and use this excess carbon dioxide to our advantage‚ people must stop it in its tracks. The human race must adopt biofuels‚ mainly because they neither contribute to nor take from the problem. Fuels made from Biomass will only release as much carbon dioxide as they absorb‚ to grow‚ upon combustion. If people continue on this path we will soon reach carbon-atmosphere

In President Trump’s 2017 inaugural speech‚ he declared‚ “The forgotten men and women of our country [the United States of America] will be forgotten no longer‚” (Trump‚ 2017) but who are the forgotten Americans? Former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack may have an answer; “I just sometimes think rural America is a forgotten place” (Vilsack‚ 2016). This might explain Trump’s victory in the Electoral College‚ as the many of the states he won were in the predominantly rural Midwest. Evidently‚ rural

Most people live on just a few dollars a day. Whether you live in the wealthiest nations in the world or the poorest‚ you will see high levels of inequality. In a world of plenty‚ a huge number go hungry. Hunger is more than just the result of food production and meeting demands. The causes of hunger are related to the causes of poverty.
