Report on the Effect of Urban Sprawl on the Farmers in Valley of Sun

Introduction
Urban sprawl refers to the spread of development at an “insane” pace without considering the negative effects that such development may have of the local community. The challenge with urban sprawl is that it claims land that should be used for agriculture, and such land is used in infrastructural development. Urban sprawl occurs at a haphazard manner, meaning that there is lack of good planning by the concerned authorities, and due to lack of planning, urban sprawl is the kind of development that does not help the people within the environment where it occurs.

In a research essay by Uma Khumairoh, Jeroen C. J. Groot and Egbert A. Lantinga, entitled, “Complex agro-ecosystems for food security in a changing climate” they argued that one of the ways in order to help ensure food security, particularly in the production of rice, is the use of a complex system of farming called the Rice, Ducks, Fish, Compost, and Azolla (RDFCA) system over the traditional Rice, Compost (RC) system. While systems such as the RDFCA are indeed more efficient in rice production compared to RC, the research has failed to show whether RDFCA could sustain the increasing Continue reading...

Introduction: Increasing Global Warming

This report discusses and focuses on the problem of climate change, which though is global in nature, is estimated to more severely affect developing countries, especially the tropical and the sub-tropical ones (Stern, 2007). The major contributor to the problem of global warming is the continuous emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. A greenhouse gas is one which prevents the heat to radiate back to space and maintains a warm climate on the Earth.

Emotion transformational role through communism and agricultural communities is a complex subject that has demanded a point of focus for activist, pacifist, researchers and scholars that are worth understanding.

This movie emphasized the things in our society today that this tribe did not have nor need.

Mesopotamia had a hospitable climate and fertile soil. The fertile climate was contributed to the fact that the northern area of Mesopotamia is made up of plains and hills. There are also rivers and streams that flow from the mountains and frequent seasonal rains that keep the soil wet for farming (Butler, 2012). This factor attracted humans who moved from being hunters and gathers to become farmers more quickly. Within a short time, they were able to raise animals and to grow crops thus settling in one place. The emergence farming in that area increased its population density, which Continue reading...

Around the start of the 17th century, planters discovered a new source of their revenue when they were introduced to the farming of sugarcane by other groups who had successfully done so.

One significant factor that contributed to the development of civilization from the primitive hunter-gatherer societies was the development of agriculture. After the last ice age (around 10,000 B.C.E.), humans learned to produce food on their own rather than simply rely on hunting animals and gathering plants for sustenance. Along with the planting of grains and other edible plants, people learned to domesticate animals and take care of them until such time that they could be used or consumed as food. The organized development of agriculture seems to have evolved relatively at the same time in various parts around Continue reading...
