First‚ there was a guide who have being an organic farmer for several years in Production Green led us to a farmland and introduced what is organic farming and the aim of it. Organic farming is a green agricultural operation method which means farmers would not use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides during farming. In the tour‚ the guide introduced us different organic farming methods that they are mainly using. They are intercropping and crop rotation. Intercropping

Squash the Underrated Crop Origins The word squash comes from the word askutasquash‚ used by the Narragansett Native Americans meaning: eaten uncooked. Squash is one of the oldest known crop‚ with evidence of seeds found in Ecuadorian caves from up to 12‚000 years ago. Squash was referred as one of the 3 sister crops by Iroquois Native Americans‚ where the other two “sister” crops were maize‚ and beans. They were referred as sister crops because maize created a supporting

The Agricultural Revolution occurred during the Neolithic period which was the second era in human history. The Neolithic period‚ following the Paleolithic period‚ was when Agriculture began and hit its peak. I believe that the Agricultural Revolution was inevitable‚ eventually somewhere in human history it was going to occur. But‚ a largely debated topic is why it happened so late in human history. I believe it happened so late in the history of humankind for various reasons. One reason is because

for less many‚ thus lowering the cost to the consumer without lowering the profits of the farmers. Essential nutrients could be implanted into important‚ everyday foods such as rice or corn. Not to mention that with insect resistant crops‚ not only is more of the crop saved‚ but fewer pesticides have to be sprayed. Sounds great right? So‚ what’s the problem? The problem is that this relatively new technology is still being tested‚ and in fact some problems have occurred as a result of these GMOs.

In addition‚ a very wide range of products obtained from the recycling of crop‚ animal‚ human and industrial wastes can and do serve as sources of plant nutrient.
