East Tennessee Permaculture: A Case Study

Willie A. Mason will build a house NY Sengphet farm in Mason Tennessee. All livestock is property of Willie A. Mason. In case of NY Sengphet death Willie A. Mason is to live in the house until he can’t take care of himself. If Willie A. Mason dies first everything to stay with NY Sengphet.

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension has a huge impact on people's lives by offering different programs at land-grant institutions. One thing for sure is the value of the NC Cooperative Extension and the opportunities it has given many people. It offers a wealth of knowledge which is priceless. Colleges that offer these programs help out alot with preserving the ecosystems, creating solar energy, and protecting the environment. Throughout the major areas the most important to me is sustaining agriculture. I was taught at an early age the basics of farming and gained knowledge from my family. During spring of the year my grandfather and I would do maintenance on the farm equipment in order to prepare the land for planting. Once crops were

We walked the farm seen the animals and crops that were there and learned the ways of having a traditional organic farm the benefits from it the proper ways that one type of plant can in effect have a dramatic effect in the sustainability of another and how there in ways interdependent on each other examples are that one plant has a natural repellant for insects that in effect can help the other plants that are effected by that insect to how the trees and bushes are grown in a way that actually gives the other plants shade from the sun. We learned about the organic feeding that the animals are given and the free range that they have so that the animals have no stress upon them as David says that the only time that they are under stress is when they are about to processed for slaughter. Michael Pollan discusses this in detail in the book expressing that this is in fact that sustainable farming is farming type that was common place in the 60s and now in modern times is making a comeback due to consumers being more aware of the foods and want to ensure the purity and health implications on their food

This submission is a unique one since it was not a written assignment but three videos. As a summer research assistant for Professor Jennifer Drake at the University of Toronto, my two colleagues and I had to create three research videos depicting the research of three graduate students. It was an honour to make the videos of three graduate students who I had worked closely with in the summer, Ali Jahanfar and his research on the effects of solar panel shading on the plant’s growth, Kirti Sehgal and her work on permeable pavement and determining which type of pavement worked the best and Dalia El Helow and her research on how the cooling effects of green roof could help improve efficiency the solar panel efficiency. The following three videos provide a brief overview of the work of the graduate students but they also provide a good

TRANSITION Another way of describing Permaculture would be having all of our needs met. Von Roenn works very closely with the low income community, giving them assistance in getting what they need. During anthropology class, the topic of Africa and its constant struggle against aids and ebola have come up numerous times. When looking at the ecosystem and the standard of living, it is clear that they do not have their needs met. A community struggling to get enough food or stay clean has little energy and time to put towards their community. As time continues, things get backed up and the living conditions worsen. What Von Roenn tells the people of the local

In the time period between 1865 and 1900 technology,government policy,and economic conditions really changed American agriculture. The technology made farming more efficient,and more profitable. Government policies both helped and hindered farmers with helping them transport their products,but they also “stole” from the farmers to help make the government more money. The economic conditions helped farmers with selling more products,and helping cities grow;along with starving families almost to death. All of these coming together really changed American agriculture.

Alabama Agriculture: Sustaining Future Generations, is the theme of this essay. A few way to sustain future generations of Alabama agriculture is, like farmers they pass there farm and knowledge down there family. Another example is when you go get a job that is related to agriculture like going to work at a cattle farm they teach you what you need to know to do this job. Those are two examples of ways that we can sustain agriculture for future generations.

In Kenya the sun shines every morning. The temperature for a normal day is about 100 degrees. The solar light panels will be able to produce light . “Solar lights are the future for Kenya. We need to start using more renewable energy to save the planet and better lives.” Says Linda Wamune. Mary is not only reusing her resources but helping the environments health, and wealth. She is using her money and time more efficiently by speeding up the process of light production to better her plants. This is important because it is giving Mary money to save she is also benefiting her health, environment and wealth. By Mary growing crops and using solar power panels it raises her country's resources of the crop and is benefiting her at the same

A discourse community follows Swales’ six characteristics: members share common goals, has a form of communication, a form of feedback, genres, a specific lexis, and has a level of expertise all within the group (Swales 25). I believe the Future Farmers of America is a great candidate for this topic for that it falls in to the categories listed by Swales. The start of Future Farmers of America came in 1900s in the state of Virginia. Adolescent to teenage males were not interested in farming and did not want to take over the family farms. This led to a homegrown farmer becoming the supervisor of Agriculture Education and set out to fix this problem, Walter Newman. With the help of Edmund C, Magill, Harry W. Sanders and the most influential Henry

Every state,or place in general, needs a type of resource to make money as a

Brooks’ article is putting forth what Terry L. Cooper alleges “The World as It is” (Cooper, 2012, p. 27). The difficulty in attempting to delineate his argument of “If it Feels Right” from a moral barometer perspective lies in the fact there are not any explicit unequivocal specifications to morality and value. While it can be argued there is a universal basis for ethics, depending on the society we are looking at, the interviews completed by Smith and Company addresses the contemporary issue of moral relativism, which is according to Lewis Vaughn, the view that a moral truth is completely and absolutely a function of the individual, with only specific cultures or persons legitimatizing morals values assigned to it (Vaughn, 2015). This issue

Sustaining Farming: This was practiced a lot in the colonial America, this is a system in which families would plant and produce just enough for them to survive, they would produce enough products to trade or sell with anyone.

Solar power is one of the most environmentally benign energy sources available. Just 20 days of sunshine produces the same amount of energy as everything stored in Earth’s reserves of oil, coal, and natural gas—yet does not come close to producing the same amount of environmental damage as even one of those options (Greentips, 2005). Solar farms are a clean renewable source that can meet high energy demands and can creates thousands of jobs in the future. It is also used during peak demand for electricity. During the hottest days, the panels are absorbing more energy while homeowners have the a.c. on full blast. They can be installed anywhere

Chivalry as a necessary characteristic for Knights and brave men, heroes and aristocrats as depicted in early British literature provided a philosophy around key mix of values to readers, students and humanity at large.

For many years, China’s economy ran and was fueled by agriculture, but that all changed with the struggle of power. In 1949 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took over and founded the People's Republic of China (PRC). Mao Zedong, the Party’s leader, decided to steer away the country from agriculture and pursued the development of heavy industry as a means to submerged the country in a self-contained industrial economy (O’neil pg. 391). Due to the Korean War and Taiwan’s Nationalist Party’s confrontation with China, Self-containment was became very important (Lecture).
