Application Of Agropolitan Center Development

Agriculture is only one of the many contributes to where we are today. Geographic location affects agriculture because each specific crop has needs, if you can’t meet those needs, then you can’t grow the crops. Some plants need super wet land and some need super dry land ,let’s say you live in Papua New Guinea they live closer the the equator so they have the same weather year round. So if you’re constantly getting the same amount of sunlight all year then you’ll only be able to grow the same crops over and over again. Papua New Guinea had sago, to get sago people there would have to cut down the sago tree, cut the sago tree in half and collect the sago inside. With sago you have to have a wet climate, the sago tree takes three or four days to prepare. Sago does not last long after it is prepared, sago is low in protein and uses more calories then it gives. But Fertile Crescent on the other hand live farther from the equator, so they end up getting four seasons while rotating around the sun.Which leads to an advantage in almost everything. A change in weather four times a year gives them a chance to plant and grow

There is no doubt that urban agriculture has many benefits people who are living in urban area especially fixing the food insecurity problem. According to the USDA Economic Research Service (2016), food insecurity can happened when a household loss access to fresh foods due the lack in social and low economic. When the population of people concentrated in an area with bad economic situation increases, it will later affects the employment opportunities and food insecurity might be a critical issue. This is supported by a

Agriculture is arguably the main focus of discussion when considering the geographical cause of low economic development. The different climate and soil conditions in tropical ecological zones (Gallup et al., 2003, p.32), mean there is less

In the cities of Wichita Falls and Vernon, the thought of economic growth and the reduction of poverty does not usually cross the minds of most citizens, but as the economic advisor of both cities, it is the main concern of my career. There are many factors that contribute towards these issues, like tax cuts, infrastructure spending, deregulation, and tax rebates (DePersio), but one focused inducer is agriculture development.

I would like to have the opportunity to attend the Ag-Discovery Program at Kentucky State University because I am very interested in both Veterinarian Medicine and Agriculture. I would like to improve my knowledge and skills which will excel me in college and life. I have gained knowledge and numerous skills through 4H which have helped to shape my future career goals. I love attending conferences where I am able to network with people who share the same interests and common goals as me, gain new knowledge and experiences, and help point me towards the right path where I will benefit the most from.

In fact, it is also necessary for governmental bodies to become involved in promoting localized food such as policies and labelling laws that encourage healthier eating and food re-localization. In addition, regulations to foster sustainable food production are essential. Moreover, in the movie Cuban, the Accidental Revolution, David Suzuki, introduces how the government’s vision becomes one with the farmers, that there is a possibility for the industrial food system to work together. For example, Cuban agronomists describe the benefits of crop rotation for soil health, while Cuban farmers express pleasure with the relative productivity and profitability of their ecological and somehow newly industrialized farming systems. By inventing a new way to create food and working with nature, profit is gained and diversity is generated leading the country to possess the largest national program in sustainable agriculture. With the government’s assistance, farmers learn to do more with less and growing food as a community becomes more a passion that profits. In his article, Wes Jackson also supports the idea of finding a new way to create food without technology and science. Instead of focusing mainly on the local food systems, he emphasizes that by using all the knowledge acquired from the pioneers and their cleverness, we can build domestic prairies that have high-yielding fields that are planted only once every twenty years. It is not the entire answer to the total agriculture problems, but breeding new crops from native plants selected from nature’s abundance and simulating the resettlement botanical complexity of a region should make it easier to solve many agricultural problems (40). The share to work side by side with nature may be one of the solution to establish a new sea of perennial prairie

Throughout time, humans have pushed forward in every aspect in life in order to improve their living standards, wealth and most importantly the agricultural sector which is the base of every human race. Food is the basic requirement for any individual to stay alive and healthy. In an article by Tamsin McMahon, she states that over the past 60 years, the world population has grown from 2.5 billion to 7 billion while world hunger dropped from 40% down to 15% (McMahon T., July 2012). This shows that our agricultural advances through technology have helped control world hunger and decrease it by more than half, but this is a short-term solution if we want to consider the future generations that depend on our current actions toward the three main pillars of agriculture which are: Health and nutrition, Economy and sustainability all while considering the local small farms and corporate farms.

South Asia is one of the most densely populated regions of the world, where despite a slow growth, agriculture remains the backbone of rural economy as it employs one half to over 90 percent of the labor force. Both extensive and intensive policy measures for agriculture

To continue, agriculture and farming is essensial because we need food to survive and it helps with a regions economic growth. This human activity however, is creating

Historically, planners and developers have waited until this point before looking outside a region for potential development sites. This is a difficult point from which to return, and in many cases impossible. Capacity to produce sufficient food on a local scale is an enormous hurdle for this bioregion. Perhaps more challenging is that this blight is common to many adjacent regions. One solution is to improve on alternative production processes such as Urban Agriculture (UA) which until recently has been associated with cities in developing countries. However, “recent concerns about economic and food security have resulted in a growing movement to produce food in cities of developed countries including the United States.”(Lovell 2010)

On the other hand, the lecturer disputes this point by clarifying the fact that in today’s world, it is attempted that the less original lands cover for agricultural activities. The lecturer explains that the novel agricultural technologies effort to breed more productive crops by which the more food for human is produced.

Based on Figure 4.6 the metals cations will enter into the pores of zeolite NaA and urged the metals alkali and alkaline earth cations which are soluble in water. In addition, zeolite NaA more selective towards the transition metals because it has larger sizes so easy dipolariasi (Auerbach, et al. 2003) Zeolite NaA tend to bind cations because the negatively charged zeolite cavities. The negative charge is derived from the framework of teteahedral alumina attracts cations are positively charged. The negative charge on NaA zeolite pores causing the occurrence of ion exchange. So in the few studies reported that the zeolite is able to reduce the levels of heavy

      Due to the effects of urbanization and industry, the amount of land available for agriculture is rapidly reducing. Of the total land area of 792,607 hectares for Negros Occidental (the Philippines) the Alienable and Disposable (A & D) areas covers 68.17 percent 0r 540,350.13 hectares. Classified Forest Land occupies 31.83 percent ( 252,256.53 hectares). Cropland makes up most of which is considered Alienable and Disposable. This includes the residential, commercial and institutional areas as well as agricultural lands. Fish ponds are also found in this area occupying an area of 9,333.14 hectares. Zoning and land use plans have been put into place to regulate the development of communities ensuring that the distribution of land is properly allocated so that it is not in incompatible use. Despite these measures, many farmers are very poor. The average size of an individual farm in the Philippines is 1.5. hectares. Small farms can only produce enough for subsistence purposes.

Looking at different development projects, the structure of these projects are categorized into different sectors, including agriculture, food security, infrastructure, healthcare, environment, water, sanitation, and democracy. Even though they have a shared goal, each sector has its technical approach to address a defined issue, and rarely communicates and coordinates between other sectors to solve a complex and interdependent problem. Its complexity is not defined by the technical aspect, which can be easily solved, but the implication of other sectors which shapes the outcomes of the project. The increase of the agricultural productivity aforementioned can be solved by improving the access of agricultural inputs, but the result is not sustainable if farmers have a difficulty to sell their products because the roads necessary to transport the products to the market are very bad or cannot be used during the rainy season. In addition, other aspects, such as cultural and political practices, also play their roles and shape the final results. Despite the mixed results observed, the silo approach still continue the norm to address a development problem.

In this unit’s text, we learned about modernization of society and how agriculture permitted nomadic hunt-and-gather groups to become stabilized and centralized in one location. The text and supporting video clips introduced both positive and negative anthropological effects of the rise of agriculture. Three positive outcomes include stabilization, improved nutrition, and food surplus. For each of these positive instances, there is an alternate and negative impact as well: habitat destruction, feast and famine cycles, and health concerns. This essay will briefly expound on each positive outcome and its counterpart, and will relate the sustainable agrarian achievements of the people of the Gamo Highlands to these effects.
