CLIMATE CHANGE AND AGRICULTURE IN INDIA: IMPACTS AND ADAPTATION FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Anupam Kumar Singh Department of African Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Delhi, Delhi (India). 1. Introduction India with its area of 3.28 million sq. km accounts for 2.4% of the world’s land surface area and stands as the seventh largest country in the world. India is second most populous country in the world with above 1.3 billion which containing 17.5% of world population. The size and population

Easter Island was once a lush tropical island with an abundance forestation. The early settlers greatly exploited the natural resources cutting down the island’s trees and giant palms in huge numbers to build canoes to transport the giant stones statues found on the island. This exploitation started and led to the environmental collapsed of Easter Island. The actions of the early settlers show how the actions of humans and their greed can adversely cause the collapse of the natural environment

Agriculture is a major industry in Ethiopia's economy. It accounts for 80% of employment, 50% of gross domestic product and 84% of Ethiopia's Exports. The main agricultural products that get

overmastering feeling or conviction. Since I came to Ozarks Farm & Neighbor, I have had the privilege to meet countless people who share a passion for agriculture and farming. Some are new to farming and/or livestock production, while others have been immersed in agriculture their whole lives. No matter how they came to be involved in agriculture, it has become their passion. On a farm visit a while back, a first-generation livestock producer shared a conversation with me he had with another new

desert. This is usually cause by drought, deforestation, or poor agriculture planning. If it is overgrazed fields, or even the increase of wood needed to burn, human interaction has helped advance the expansion of desertification. The area currently surrounding Khartoum, Sudan was once covered in small forests, but because of the increasing need for farm land and wood fuel, the forest has become another victim of desertification. The tropical rain forest on the border of Sahel, is also being slowly affected

Deforestation is one of the major subject in twenty first century. Humans have been deforestation the forest for thousands of years. Little we known about the tropical woodland and they are disappearing at an alarming rate. This is because it occurs mostly in Africa where there are little to no inhabitants. Leaving us in capable of preventing it. Deforestation is mainly caused by clearing the forest and woodland for farming, logging, housing, building roads. If we do not stop cutting trees and stop

Question #1 How is intensive subsistence agriculture distinguished from extensive subsistence cropping? Why, in your opinion, have such different land use forms developed in separate areas of the warm, moist tropics? Intensive agriculture is the primary subsistence pattern of large-scale, populous societies. It results in much more food being produced per acre compared to other subsistence patterns. Beginning about 5,000 years ago, the development of intensive farming methods became necessary as

Application of Genetic Engineering on Taro Adam Mohamed 10/23/2015 Introduction The field of genetic engineering is very promising, pertaining to the future of agriculture around the world. Research in this area is allowing for more and more improvements to the various aspects of a crop such as yield, visual quality, taste, nutritional value, disease immunity, and cold resistance, as well as many other benefits. A further understanding of both the genetics of crops and how to influence

In the documentary Guns, Germs, and Steel, there was a question that was presented to Diamond by a New Guinean man named Yali. Yali asked, "Why do you white people have so much cargo, but we New Guineans have so little?" This question from Yali threw Diamond off. He assumed that since it was a simple question, that there would have been a simple answer. Moreover, Diamond's experience with the New Guineans had showed him their ingenious ways. That they can go into uncharted, undiscovered territory
