is a method used to create terraces in which stone structures are created without using mortar for binding. No-till farming: When soil is prepared for farming by ploughing it‚ the process is known as tiling. No-till farming is a way of growing crops without disturbing it through tillage. The process of tilling is beneficial in mixing fertilizers in the soil‚ shaping it into rows and preparing a surface for sowing. But the tilling activity can lead to compaction of soil‚ loss of

as the “green revolution” with the potential of solving food insecurity problems affecting the world populations. Global commercialization of GM foods have been on increase with crops being produced on 282.4 million acres between 1994 and 2007 (Batisa‚ R and Oliveira M‚ M 2009). Despite this sustained growth of GM crops there have been concerns and controversies surrounding the use and consumption of GM foods and more fundamentally the social issue of acceptance of GM foods by people.

“This year the weather smiled on us‚ and we made a crop‚” says a wheat farmer near Minnedosa in Manitoba. “But just as we made a crop‚ the economic situation changed.” This quotation brings to mind the old saying‚ “If you are a farmer‚ the weather is always bad.” Discuss the sense in which this saying might be true. (Hint: What happens to price if there is a bumper crop? What is the price elasticity of demand for wheat? Is it inelastic or elastic? What happens to total revenue if there is an increase
