It is evident that populations around the world are starkly staring at a food crisis that has picked momentum especially since 2008. This recent global food crisis has placed staple grains, the main sustenance for populations around the world, out of reach of the hundreds of millions of people in need of them. This has seen its effects being felt in both developed and developing countries (Magdoff, 2006: 1-7). This study will focus its attention on the explanation about this recent food crisis, how

1.0 Introduction Energy is one of the major inputs of an economy. It directly affects development of human beings and society. Therefore, safeguarding a cheap and stable supply of energy is one of the main objectives of any country. However, increasing world population, high global energy consumption and depletion of global resources has challenged this objective resulting energy as one of the main concerns today’s world. Accordingly, this report focuses on analysing various issues faced by different

FALL IN CRUDE PRICES & ITS IMPLICATIONS ON INDIA Introduction: The presence of crude oil was first discovered in China way back in 3rd or 4th century A.D. The presence of oil in India was discovered in late 1889 at Digboi in Assam where the first crude oil refinery was set up in 1901. India is not among the major oil producers and that is why it generally depends on imports from other countries. The largest crude oil producing country is Saudi Arabia followed by Russia and America. The extent of

By 2015, it had fallen by more than 40% to below $70 a barrel. (Petroff) There has been exhausting speculation over this matter including reasons relating to geopolitics, natural disasters, economic trends and the lack of regulation by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). OPEC is the vicar of oil

The Relationship between energy independence, in the form of Energy Security Risk points, and Shale Gas Production in the United States. By Md Akram Hossain Abstract Fracking is a type of drilling technique that has been used commercially for almost 65 years. Hydraulic fracking is also being used to stimulate new production from older wells. The combination of advanced hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, utilizing state of the art technology, is mostly responsible for todays booming US

Abstract— There is growing interest in creating smart grid mainly reducing carbon footprint and outage. Countries with vast population like china and India are in the race for implementation of the smart grid pilot project in selected areas. However there are some serious technological and economic constraints on their implementation. This paper is an exclusive study on the status, challenges, and possible solution related to the technological aspects from India perspective. Since the smart meter

International Energy Policy (IEA) The International Energy Agency (IEA) was created in 1974, its command is to endorse energy security between 28 member countries. The aim is to ensure sufficient, secure and sustainable energy among the countries, each country is oblige to hold oil stock equivalent to 90 days. The IEA targets include some of the following objectives: • To promote sustainable energy policies for economic growth and environment protection, reduce greenhouse gas emission that contributes

OPTIMIZATION OF OIL FIELD OPERATIONS AND OTHER RELATIVE DIMENSIONS Abstract The most essential donors to the world 's aggregate oil production are the giant oil fields. Utilizing a complete database of giant oil field production, the normal decrease rates of the world 's giant oil fields are evaluated. Dividing subclasses was essential, since there are expansive contrasts in the middle of area and seaward fields, and also between non-OPEC and OPEC fields. The advancement of decrease rates

Current transportation is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Petroleum based fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel, the most commonly used fossil fuels, are causing increasing global concern because petroleum is a finite resource. This means that as the amount of available petroleum decreases over time, the need for alternative fuels will increase. This is an important matter because it affects global energy security, food security, the environment, and economies. With
