adapt to these new discoveries. Moreover‚ one of the changes that societies nowadays are implementing more and more every day is‚ changing the variety of crops from polyculture farming to the production of a single type of crop “monoculture farming”. However‚ despite the reasons that may suggest that shifting from cultivating multiple kinds of crops to cultivating just one is more efficient‚ we could argue that this point of view only take a narrow perspective of positive outcomes‚ and neglects several

Red soils develop in a warm‚ temperate‚ wet climate under deciduous forests and have thin organic and mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on red layer made of iron oxide(ferric oxide). Red soils generally form from iron-rich sediments. They are usually poor growing soils‚ low in nutrients and humus and difficult to cultivate. These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid‚ organic matter

increased because the landlords sliced up pasturelands‚carved up open fields‚ cut up forest commons‚ took over marshes‚ and turned large areas into agricultural fields. Enclosures became necessary for making long-term investments on land and plan crop rotation for improving the soil; and also allow the richer landowners to expand land under their control and produce more for the market. Impact of Enclosures on the Poor The poor no longer enjoyed access to the enclosed property of the landowners
