The development of the columbian exchange and the spanish empire created major population changes‚ brought new crops‚ and created wealth and power. Diseases wiped out some populations in the new world‚ while new crops increased other populations in the old world. New crops also became staple foods of some european countries. Wealth and power was exchanged from the new world to create the spanish empire. All of these things combined resulted in extensive changes in the old world and the new world

due to irrigation-induced salinity‚ according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus‚ crop production is limited by salinity on 40% of the worlds irrigated land and on 25% of the irrigated land in the United States. These statistics indicate that the progressive loss of farmable land is on a crash course with the expanding global population‚ in that if something is not done to revamp the output of crop production with in the next 30 years‚ we will bare witness to the first world wide foot shortage

environment for farmers and crops. First‚ there was a guide who have being an organic farmer for several years in Production Green led us to a farmland and introduced what is organic farming and the aim of it. Organic farming is a green agricultural operation method which means farmers would not use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides during farming. In the tour‚ the guide introduced us different organic farming methods that they are mainly using. They are intercropping and crop rotation. Intercropping

Anna Gribbell October 2017 Coastal Peru Crops of Coastal Peru can be watered by mist! Coastal Peru’s ocean affects day to day life. The ocean in Coastal Peru affects how crops grow and even how cold the climate is. The ocean has fish to catch and valleys have space to produce staple crops. Furthermore‚ the climate is cryogenic and arid (cold and dry) thanks to the mist produced by the ocean. The ocean of Coastal Peru is very helpful to the people that live there. The Humboldt current‚ also known

for less many‚ thus lowering the cost to the consumer without lowering the profits of the farmers. Essential nutrients could be implanted into important‚ everyday foods such as rice or corn. Not to mention that with insect resistant crops‚ not only is more of the crop saved‚ but fewer pesticides have to be sprayed. Sounds great right? So‚ what’s the problem? The problem is that this relatively new technology is still being tested‚ and in fact some problems have occurred as a result of these GMOs.
