trepidation. Monotonous attacks of United States of America on terrible areas of Pakistan through stealth spy drones further augmented the perplexity about drones as scaremonger. Correlating drone only with obliteration is analogous to thinking fire solely crops ash. However the propagation of savoir faire from generations to generations eventually results in extreme procession in technology that comes up with agricultural drones. Implication of sensors and robotics in agricultural field engenders a triumph

Industrial farming is destroying our land and poisoning the people who eat the food produced by this method‚ biological farming is a safer and healthier alternative that is environmentally friendly. First‚ industrial farming is destroying our land by over processing the soil and robbing it of vital nutrients. Monocropping causes a number of negative environmental impacts. Soil deterioration results from the common practice of not rotating crops in monoculture farming. Crop rotation

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

great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people. The question of genocide comes in when the British are taken into account. Ireland was dependent to Britain‚ much like how today countries like Puerto Rico are dependent on the United States‚

In addition‚ a very wide range of products obtained from the recycling of crop‚ animal‚ human and industrial wastes can and do serve as sources of plant nutrient.

the agriculture revolution pushed people to the cities after a period of time. The agriculture revolution began in Great Britain and it all started with new methods.One of those methods was crop rotation. This really helped soil rejuvenate its nutrients. Crop rotation even benefited food production. Once crop rotating was a normal thing‚ farmers stepped it up. In 1801‚ the Enclosure Act was passed. This

Contract Farming ? Contract farming arrangements of different types have existed in various parts of the country for centuries for both subsistence and commercial crops. The commercial crops like sugarcane‚ cotton‚ tea‚ coffee etc. Have always involved some forms of contract farming. Even in the case of some fruit crops and fisheries‚ contract farming arrangements‚ involving mainly the forward trading of commodities have been observed. However‚ in the wake of economic liberalization

This also includes using of modern machines like tractors and harvesters to reduce the number of man power needed working in crops fields‚ this increase the productivity in food production. This intensification in food production help reduce the
