In the Logan Square neighborhood, there is a lack of viable grocery store options. Nonetheless, throughout the City of Chicago there is an abundant amount of restaurants and food options; however, many of these food options are not the healthiest. As stated by the Food Empowerment Project, a food desert is typically “Described as geographic areas where residents’ access to affordable, healthy food options [...] is restricted or nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores within convenient travelling

1. Describe the world’s population growth up until now and the predicted growth towards 2050. The Global human population increases growth amounts to around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.4 billion by mid-2030, and 9.6 billion by mid-2050. Many nations with rapid population growth have low standards of living, whereas many nations with

The findings of this study leads to puzzling discoveries. Moving forward, researchers should look at effects of economics on political change in the South at a local level as well as at the state level. While the findings suggest a decline in agriculture affected party strength, the more general question about economic change affecting party strength/partisanship needs further exploration. There were more economic changes occurring in the South besides agricultural decline. The South also experienced

I have chosen the “Poverty and Hunger Gator Good challenge”. One way I believe I can combat hunger and poverty is through rainwater powered aquaponics. Aquaponics is the utilization of the symbiotic relationship between plants and fish. The waste excreted by the fish is fertilizer for the plants, and the plants in turn remove the toxic ammonia, nitrates, and nitrates from the water for the fish. This is a highly effective way to battle poverty, this sort of system not only grows nutritious food

growth, and general food infrastructure deficiencies that lead to food deserts. There are many potential solutions to these problems, such as introducing new supermarkets, expanding local ethnic markets, creating urban gardens, and constructing aquaponics farms. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), almost 14 percent of households in the United States suffered from food insecurity – the lack of access to healthy

Porter’s 5 Force Threat of Substitutes The threat of substitutes is the availability of a product that the consumer can purchase instead of the industry’s product (Free management books, n,d ). A substitute product is a product that produced by other industry and offer similar benefits to the customer as the product produced by the firms within the industry.

central region of the island, while a magnificent volcano stands proudly near the northern coast. These features lend themselves to tourism, one of our city’s primary industries and sources of income. In addition to tourism, a large-scale, commercial aquaponics farming facility serves as a means of economic activity and growth,

The new forms of energy that the world is now implementing into all of its states is great. Most cities now use solar power and wind power to produce enough energy for the citizens. Other sources of energy being used includes hydroponics and aquaponics. Solar power is energy from the sun’s heat and released energy that is transformed into easy to use energy for humanity. Wind power is from the turn of a turbine in the wind that

“I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds…..” E.M. Tiffany wrote the original FFA (Future Farmers of America) creed and it was revised at the 38th and 63rd FFA National Convention, but it was adopted to the FFA at the third national convention. There are 649,355 current members that know this creed, but that number does not include the alumni (https://www.ffa.org/about/who-we-are/our-membership). FFA is just only one amazing thing you can do with agriculture

Deserts— typically known as very hot, dry places, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa. However, there is a different type of desert that is found all over the United States, and people reside in them every day. These deserts can be cold, hot, rainy, or dry, as they are not identified based on climate and nature. Instead of lacking rainfall and vegetation, as normal deserts do, they lack something else— access to healthy foods. These deserts are known as food deserts, where residents do not have
