Although the British government was efficient and successful‚ it benefited the British not the Indians. The British had high taxes‚ the crops they had Indians grow ruined the land‚ and while they controlled India 58 million people died because of famines. The British established and efficient government ran by Englishmen. Dr. Lalvani says that “The British administration of India‚ a country

to surprised farmers‚ impacts from the GMO crops have no longer been gentle. Yanking each and every weed one by one‚ the formerly stringy plants have proven itself to be much more than an easy match for both the once effective herbicides and the farmer. GMOs‚ or genetically modified organisms are plants or animals that have been re-engineered with the DNA of bacteria‚ viruses‚ or other plants and animals. With the intention of being able to alter the crop to reap numerous benefits‚ GMOs have made

modified crops have been developed to improve yield‚ through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides. The WHO also adds that‚ GM could be used in changing the level of nutrients in food and limit its potential to cause allergic reactions whilst improving food production systems. It however cautions that these GM products should be examined and analysed before being released for commercialization. GM crops are therefore resistant

Growing plants in an area in which they are not typically exposed to‚ the surrounding environment is at risk for potential damage. GMO cross breeding can occur as a result of this. Pollens from a genetically modified crop could carry to a crop intentionally grown without the use of GMOs. Consumers could suffer the effects of GMOs and those who try to avoid GMOs would be unaware they’re consuming them. GMO plants designed to become resistant to herbicides can contaminate weeds

The Role of Agriculture in the Middle Ages In the middle ages the peasants of the manor labored in the fields and produced the crops. They had a system that worked for them‚ but it was not sufficient enough and they needed to find a way to produce more crops more efficiently. They used a system call the open field system which allowed a number of households to work on a single field. They did not fence in the property which allowed each family to take turns working the field. Around 1000A.D

A taxation system in favor of production capacity and against environmental damages will encourage farmers to improve their production techniques. Proper regulations could not be emphasized more to make sure that a genuinely sustainable agriculture system will be built with animals to cycle nutrients. Cropland is the land that is suited to or used for crop production. Grazing land refers to a field
