He will hunt‚ gather‚ or grow all the ingredients needed for his final meal. In the end he makes a salad out of the greens from his own garden‚ and makes bread using wild yeast. He feels that this meal will help us to “reconnect us with the natural origins of food and also human history”. He also stated that “agriculture brought humans a great many blessings

What is intensive plant production? Well it is formally known as intensive agriculture. It is an ‘Agricultural production system characterised by the high inputs of capital or labour relative to land area’ [http://www.uwa.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/92619/Yan_PPS_Workshop.pdf]. It mainly focuses on produces with the highest amount of value. Around the world‚ intensive agriculture is needed and in the entire generality of agriculture‚ intensive agriculture takes up about 37%‚ specialising in

Introduction: Agriculture is an art‚ science and industry of managing the growth of plants and animals for human use. In broad sense‚ agriculture includes cultivation of the soil‚ growing and harvesting the crops‚ breeding and raising livestock‚ daring and forestry. Modern agriculture is engineering and technology based. Therefore‚ mechanization has eased much of the back breaking toil to the farmer. Agriculture is the backbone of economy of most of the countries of the world. About 48 percent

is consumed by the farmers and their families. Where facilities like irrigation and electricity are available‚ farming has improved. Important cash crops like sugarcane‚ oilseeds‚ cotton and jute are grown. The subsistence agriculture has given way to commercial agriculture to some extent. Dry land farming is practised in areas where the rainfall is low and irrigation facilities are inadequate. Here‚ emphasis is laid on conservation of moisture‚ and on crops like jowar‚ bajra and pulses‚ which need

1) Intensive farming practices include growing high-yield crops‚ using fertilisers and pesticides and keeping animals indoors. Food production is increased but there are unwelcome side effects. 2) Prevents energy being transferred from the crop to consumers. Reduces biodiversity. May poison helpful organisms. 3) Chemical insecticides (which kill insect pests). Herbicides which kill plants or weeds. 4) Ground water contamination: Chemicals can reach underground aquifers if there is persistent

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example‚ the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system: if the system is divided in half‚ the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. According

Study Questions: 1.) Why is sub-soiling needed in soils with hard pans? Sub-soiling is essential especially to hard pan layer because it will help the roots penetrate deep and be able to explore and obtain water and nutrients from larger volume of soil. Hard span obstructs root’s downward proliferation and restricts root growth of crops (of crops that have vertical root growth). With sub-soiling‚ the needed soil depth‚ at least 80cm will be met . With sub-soiling‚ we can break hard pan without
