In this study, two simulation schemes were developed using the ORYZA2000 to model climate change impacts on winter rice yield of Bangladesh. While we downscaled climate data driven by ORYZA2000 model to get the future scenario of how rice yield responses to climate change. The model shows that the simulated and measured rice yield data well matched with the calibrated and validated periods, suggesting the ORYZA2000 is applicable to simulate the rice yield in Bangladesh. In the global context, the

the price for the farm machinery. Many farmers relied on McCormick farm machinery to grow crops, so the

Many farmers had to give up their farms and move to the cities, because of something that happened in the late nineteenth century.      High prices forced farmers to concentrate on one crop. The large-scale farmers bought expensive machines, increasing their crop yield. This caused the smaller farmers to be left behind. The small farmers could no longer compete and were forced give up their farms and look for jobs in the cities. The smaller farmers

Crop Biodiversity is a very important to the world we know. As populations grow around the world people are going to consume more food. This can cause a problem without crop biodiversity. Crop biodiversity is the outcome of the interactions among genetic resources, the environment and the management systems and practices used by farmers. This is the result of both natural selection and human interventions and human inventive developed over millennia. Crop diversity helps when trying feeding growing

exploration and the cultural connection created during the airlifts into West Germany. Beginning in the 15th century, countries in Europe had a political race to explore the unknown world. Once arriving in foreign lands, explorers discovered unique crops only located in these areas. The foods unique to these places sparked interest in countries and encouraged them to send expeditions to these new locations. As the search for new and different foods spanned the globe, people, beliefs, and culture from

changes in technology, market dynamics, environment and policies (Berger and Schreinemachers 2012). In order to achieve this goal, a scenario based analysis approach is needed. Thus, the model would be more sensitive to the production cycle of perennial crops, livestock production and forest project, as they do not produce a uniform stream of output over the years and the results could provide an optimal growth strategy at the farm level. As MP-MAS have modules for perennials and livestock, these problems

significant cause for loss of crop and yield by potato farmers. Looking back to the past, the blight was responsible for the catastrophic Irish Great Famine of the 1840s causing eradication of their main food source, potatoes. As a result of the blight, potatoes become rotten and unsafe for human consumption. Late potato blight today is still a serious issue because it has caused the loss of $5.9 billion dollars of potatoes

In the UVA Chesapeake Bay Game, I was assigned the role of a Crop Farmer number for the the Potomac River watershed. In the Bay game, the crop farmer controls several things, including the type of farming used, the number of acres used for each purpose, and the option of buying new farm equipment ("UVA Bay Game", 2016). The types of farming used in the bay game are conventional high yield, best management practices (BMP), advanced BMP, and sustainable ("UVA Bay Game", 2016). These farming practices

Lacrosse is a team sport that originated in the St. Lawrence Valley area, around 1546. It is played with a small rubber ball, a long stick with a sort of basket at the end, and padding (it is a contact sport). The objective of the game is to shoot the ball into the other team’s goal, using the stick to pass, cradle and shoot. At first, the game was played on a distance of even several miles, and anywhere between 100 and 100000 players in a single game. The teams are now composed of ten players each

Making Inferences WHY: Purpose of Lesson: The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to the reading comprehension strategy of inferring. The students will learn how to use textual evidence combined with their own background knowledge to make inferences about various aspects of a text including characters, setting, theme, and plot. Common Core State Standards: • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.1: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences
