More precisely, real food is rapidly becoming the new fast food. There is widespread commitment to healthy food choices as a lifestyle rather than a diet. This has developed this new trend where previously fringe foods like vegetable juice, kales and organic produce ...

A contemporary product’s path from material form, through human labor, to commodity, and ultimately to fetish

According to Marx theory of commodity, a commodity assumes the character of the product of the labor. He argued that quality human labor is expressed objectively in a commodity and the measure of expenditure, duration of expenditure, and labor power takes the value of the product. Because of the connection between the eye and the product of a person’s work, the fantastic form attaches itself on the product creating Fetishism. For example, agricultural products are examples of commodities whose value is related to the value attached on the product. When a farmer plants a vegetable, he will take ...

Inappropriate Usage of Natural Resources

Introduction Natural resources include oil, gas minerals and forests. Exploitation of these natural resources influences the economic development through earning of foreign exchange in exportation of these resources (Lodhi and Makki, 2010). According to Busse and Groning (2011), natural resource abundance influences the economic and social development of a country. Hence in certain countries polices developed may overlook the exploitation of the natural resources. However, natural resources are by nature scarce and their overexploitation by humans is increasing (Lodhi and Makki, 2010). Human activities are significant in influencing environmental changes that have resulted to development of global warming. Human ...

Describe the conservation choices that you recommend for implementation on the farm.

There are numerous conservation choices that can be implemented in the farm. First, crop rotation must be implemented. For example, corn, legumes and small grains can be rotated. Scientific studies have showed that crop rotations that include small grains and alfalfa significantly reduces soil erosion. Likewise, choosing the right rotation of crops will also help reduce the use of pesticides. In planning the rotation, it is best to design the rotation in such a way that the farm will meet the farm needs and goals for the yield as well as prevent erosion. Crop residue management is also recommended. ...

Book Review: ‘The Farming of Bones’ by Edwidge Danticat

The canons of literature around the globe are bestrewn with great works about wars. A curious thing about war literature is that there is almost always a clear heroic, moral victor who triumphs against a ‘worthy’ adversary – one who is able to fight back and is in no way victimized. Unlike such ‘glorious’ narratives, there are books which deal with less black and white forms of violence. Books such as ‘The Farming of Bones’ by Edwidge Danticat dive headlong into violent narratives where there really is no glory in death. ...

Jared Diamond contests the progressivist belief that agriculture has brought humankind great benefits compared to the hunting and gathering form of life that people from 10,000 years ago used to live. Although the claims of progressivists that agriculture has provided food for more people without having to go through the “nasty, brutish, and short life” that the hunters and gatherers were subjected to on a daily basis, and that it provided farmers more time to engage in art, bear some truths, paleopathology proved that negative effects caused by agriculture far outweigh its positive effects. Paleopathology provides information on ...

Nationalism, Religion and Gender are prevalent in the texts “The Good Lord Bird” and “The Farming of Bones.” The two texts stem out as informative and engaging pieces of writing. Both books are written from a comical stance, and embrace beauty in their calling. They are captivating in the way they elicit suspense and evoke varied emotions among their audience. Unflinchingly deemed as irreverent, they refuse to draw clean lines between the good personnel and the bad, between the abolitionists and the pro-slavery folks. The authors have touched on several themes, whereby religion, nationalism, religion, and gender emerging as ...

INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSES OF LOW AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

As defined by the Brundtland Commission, sustainability is a "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (EPA 2014).

"All animals are equal, but some animals

Are more equal than others" Alexis de Tocqueville has been quoted as saying that the skills used to create marvelous literature do not necessarily produce coherent and well-founded political thought and in most cases one might say that he was right.
