debate as to whether or not it is harmful or if it will be the crop of the future. Many scientists believe that GMOs have the possibility to end world hunger as well as produce a higher density of crops which would result in less deforestation. This could lead to lower cost for‚ not only farmers‚ but the consumers as well. Secondly‚ the enhancing of certain genes will give the ability to plant crops in third world countries in which crops are very hard to maintain and keep alive. With the use of GMO

provides. CROP ROTATION The successive planting of different crops on the same land to improve soil fertility and help control insects and diseases. Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar/different types of crops in the same area in sequential seasons. Crop rotation gives various benefits to the soil. A traditional element of crop rotation is the replenishment of nitrogen through the use of green manure in sequence with cereals and other crops. CONTOUR PLOWING

Sugarcane is one of the world’s major food-producing C4 crops‚ providing about 75 % of sugar produced in the world for human consumption (Souza et al. 2008). World sugarcane production is close to 1.9 billion tonnes per annum and is concentrated in tropical regions‚ particularly developing nations in Latin America‚ Africa and Asia. India is the second largest producer of sugar after Brazil with a global share of 17% in 2014-15. Over five million farmers are involved in the cultivation of sugarcane

1: Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield. Answer: Crop rotation is one of the methods of crop production that ensures high yield. It is the method of growing two or more varieties of crops on the same land in sequential seasons. A crop utilises some particular nutrients in larger quantities from the soil. Then‚ if the same crop is grown in subsequent seasons those nutrients will get depleted in the soil. Therefore‚ crops having different nutrient requirements

Again like normal crops‚ the pollen from the engineered crop is released into the environment‚ which has led to serious concerns about the possible effects that genetically engineered crops on other species and about the gene flow‚ the transfer of alleles (a number of alternative forms of same gene or same genetic locus) or genes from one population to another. In reality these lower agricultural costs aren’t the only useful trait that genetically engineered crops can have. Since they are

By using the genetic information from one organism‚ and inserting or modifying it into another organism‚ scientists can make food crops stay fresher‚ grow bigger‚ and have the crops create their own pesticides.

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

After comparing different forms of growing crops and learning from the American food associations like EPA and FDA he wanders‚” Is there any reason I shouldn’t eat these spuds?”(Pollan 9).
