Tropical agriculture

garbage. “Land pollution is the degradation or destruction of earth’s surface and soil, directly or indirectly because of human activities; it refers to any activity that lessens the quality and/or productivity of the land as an ideal place for agriculture, forestation, and construction” (CEF, Land Pollution, para. 2). Some people understand land pollution as damaging the earth’s surfaces. There are many places that are suffering due to land pollution. In the Philippines, there were 5,000 people living

Soil Degradation in Nigeria Introduction Nigeria is a country in West Africa, bordering Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. Nigeria is in the tropical zone of Africa (between latitude 4 and 14 degrees N, and longitude 2 and 14 degrees E), with a vast area of savanna vegetation in the northern part. The climate is damp, very humid and highly influenced by the combined effects of the ocean, desert, humidity, temperature, and mainly the variation that exist in the

The Awá (also known as Guajá in literature) are a group of hunter-gatherers in transition to agriculture, living in a seasonally dry tropical forest area of the Brazilian state of Maranhão, on the eastern flanks of the Brazilian Amazon region. The group refers to themselves as Awá, which is a Tupi-Guarani cognate that roughly translates to English as "people" or "human beings." After contact with mainstream society in the early 1970s, they have been suffering the consequences of deforestation as

results in a higher population density, and in many cases can lead to, an increase in stress on water and natural resources, decrease food sequirity, slower development, and less land for agricuture. For a country which is heavily reliant on its agriculture, this becomes an issue. All these effects will eventually lead to hunger within the nation. This is due to more people relying on the same natural resources, however there is not enough to suit the basic needs of everyone. Due to a high population

began to kill Europeans and the new climate made agriculture difficult. Europeans and their livestock began to die in large numbers due to an indigenous African disease transmitted by mosquitos called malaria (GGS 35:05). Tropical African cattle had formed partial resistance to malaria that then was transmitted to the native Tropical Africans. Many Africans were also vaccinated which brought a lifetime of immunity. Last but not least, the tropical African way of living brought the most success from

Moving away from Eastern Asia, it is now time to focus on the development of agriculture of the Americas. In a similar way as to what happen in China, agriculture originated independently in three different areas: Mesoamerica, the Andean region in South America and eastern, mid-continental North America. The earliest evidence for domesticates so far comes from archaeobotanical remains found in caves, in all three origin centres. These remains are usually recovered in a state of remarkably good preservation

2. How did different environmental conditions influence the emergence of agriculture in different parts of the world? Because the climate and environmental conditions vary in all parts of the world, the emergence of the agriculture happened at different times and happened in different ways. Due to the last Ice Age, many large mammals and vegetation were pushed to extinction. Sooner than the other areas, the tropical and temperate regions of the world started developing warmer, wetter, and more stable

Americans consume a full 25 percent of the world's energy despite representing just 5 percent of global population, and the band of industrialized nations combine to waste 222 million metric tons of food per year, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. Population doubled while the economy grew by 15 times, cars by 16 times 3. Describe the pattern of food wastage globally. Milk and dairy losses Fruit and veg losses Meat losses These graphs are giving the correct statistics

In a recent provocative piece, Laurance et al. (2015) outline nine issues that need to be considered by the proponents of infrastructure projects in order to minimise environmental degradation in both the short and long-term. Although the paper covers a wide range of issues, the alternative solutions for when building or upgrading infrastructure cannot be avoided, and the potential positives through preventing further agricultural land-use change, have not been fully explored.
