We could eliminate our addiction to fossil fuels so that the world would not have to worry about another war that puts valuable lives on the line. There are many ways we can contribute in improving the energy

Agriculture in the United States has changed dramatically over the centuries. Since the 1960’s large commercial farms have been leading in sales. As a direct result of their success we, as a society, have access to affordable food.
