Along with unchanged practice‚ most of India’s farmers are illiterate and live in remote villages. The ITC’s e-Choupal tackles the challenges posed by Indian agriculture to identify how to improve the inefficient supply chain of agricultural goods. ITC is a

Monsanto’s expansion Monsanto Corporation was discovered in St. Louis Missouri in 1901. The Monsanto Chemical Company was built for its business of selling food additives such as saccharin and caffeine. During the past ten years or so‚ Monsanto had merged its chemicals business to focus on biotechnology. By using whole systems of herbicides‚ pesticides and genetically engineered seeds designed to flourish in an environment swamped with chemicals‚ Monsanto promised to help farmers nourish

Grains are very important for a healthy diet. It is commonly consumed by people and is used for many foods. In the article the supply of grains‚ wheats‚ and soybeans were destroyed by a drought near the Black sea. So the agribusiness division would sell and transport these grains and oilseeds to those who demand it. Of course the demand for these grains from this division would increase because those who were in need of those crops near the Black Sea would turn to the imports of these grain. When

was evaluated as catalyst on the ethanolysis of oleic acid‚ which is the major component of several fat and vegetable oils feedstocks. Tin chloride efficiently promoted the conversion of oleic acid into ethyl oleate in ethanol solution and in soybean oil samples‚ under mild reaction conditions. The SnCl2 catalyst was shown to be as active as the mineral acid H2SO4. Its use has relevant advantages in comparison to mineral acids catalysts‚ such as less corrosion of the reactors and as well as

The researcher will be conducted this study about the use of winged bean leaf meal as a feed additive. Like soybean‚ the winged bean has been known to be high in protein and oil content. In fact‚ the winged bean leaves are good source of protein and vitamin A which has influence the eyes and skin development and vitamins C which improves the resistant of broilers

Genetic engineering (GE) is a recently developed technology that allows the alteration of the genetic make up of living organisms. This technology allows scientists not only to exchange genes from members of the same species‚ which is what farmers and nature has been doing through out history‚ but also the exchange of genes between completely separate species. For example genetic engendering allows scientists to insert the genes from a fish into a tomato‚ something that can never happen in nature
