This has happened throughout history. Take for example the hunger problem in Africa right now. Genetically modifying our food will increase the food supply needed to sustain the growing population of this planet. The food that is made from genetically engineered crops will be a better quality than traditional farming. Scientists can modify foods to be healthier, adding fats, proteins and sugars to plants so that consumers with a limited income can have a healthy diet.
A positive effect of Kudler Fine Foods in a monopolistic market structure is that they lead in the market and can increase competition between companies and make massive profits by setting higher prices (Colander, 2010). An advantage of a monopolistic competition structure is the ability to set and manipulate product pricing with little consequence because of their strong product differentiation. A disadvantage of a monopolistic competition market is product differentiation can generate unnecessary waste, and advertising can also be considered
It would increase the standards of living and create eventually a middle class. The United States would also benefit from them moving to Mexico too because from the export of goods designed for the middle class in Mexico that would be created, and from improved competitiveness in the world economy, as low cost labor would be combined with capital and
This strategy is effective as the plants grow up to four times faster and seasonal crops can be harvested all year round. Also the surplus water can be recycled, which cuts use by 20%, and also the plants need fewer chemical pesticides as they are being grown indoors. However, as the plants are not grown in soil, the produce is bland and cannot produce true organic produce. Also the heated greenhouses and lights are wasteful and the greenhouses are an eyesore. An example of aquaponics, which is a combination of hydrophonics and aerophonics, in the UK is in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Being able to settle in one area like an urbanized society was a big advantage. They did not have to constantly be moving area from place to place and also they could grow large amounts of food. Although growing your own crops is very hard, its better than moving around and they had a pretty good chance of supporting themselves for a lifetime. In an urbanized society they often had surplus so they had more spare time and that was a big advantage because that allowed people to develop technology like pottery and trade that for other valuable items. In a foraging society, they did not have a lot of spare time because they spent most of their time
However, NSW being an undeveloped colony trading goods was more common than money. This introduced a system which allowed fair trading, one of the exchange stats that ‘if a customer insisted on paying for her loaf of bread in wheat rather than coins, the price could be no more than two and a half pounds of wheat for the standard large loaf.’ Additionally, the early settlers have focused on their agriculture and tried to improve their livestock and methods as do government institutions. ‘Oxen were hired out to farmers who owned a plough or a cart’ this was presented as an encouragement to advance the colony’s development by producing larger quantity of food utilizing more innovative and efficient techniques. Another instance where NSW functions as a government institution is the owning and distribution of land. The NSW government were in charge of directing ‘the granting of land to new settlers and the resale of that land’.
What is the benefit of the modification? Because the GM tomatoes can remain fresh longer they have time to ripen in the sun before picking, resulting in a better tasting tomato! 4. Three advantages of genetically modified foods Longer lasting foods can be more easily transported, Having extra vitamins in food help poor people from becoming malnourished or going blind, and the insecticides inside some genetically modified plants keep farmers from having to spray the whole place down with toxic wastes, and they also 5. A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods.
For maximum nutritional value they can be sprouted and eaten with salads or in sandwiches. Hemp leaves can also be added to these. Hempseed can also be ground into flour for baking, or for adding to smoothies, or made into hemp milk which is a nutritious dairy alternative. Hempseed is high in natural oils required for good brain function and development and safer than other choices, such as fish which has had radiation and mercury in it. Hemp oil is beneficial to skin health and brain development because it contains naturally high amounts of GLA and EFA’s Hemp powder is an excellent complete protein which naturally contains all the essential amino acids required by the human body.
Food security traditionally focuses on individual households, a large demand for food that comes from throughout the country. community food security addresses food access within a local context, especially for low income households. Proximity refers to the distance of how far your food travels to get to your household, in a community food system distances in which food travels is shorter compared to the dominant food system (Oranges CA grown vs. Florida). Local farms create jobs and increase the overall prosperity for the community. Self-Reliance refers to the degree which a community meets its own food needs, the important aspect is that the community dictates the level of autonomy, such as the relationships between local producers , processes.
There are many advantages and disadvantages both ecological and economical to buying locally versus buying from larger companies that manufacture their food from around the country and sometimes across the world. Buying locally made foods will give the most nutritional value due to food being at the peak of growth and not sent around and the country or around the world. Buying locally also helps the farmers to be able to get fair prices on their produce. According to Terrie Schultz, 2010 "Industrial agriculture is a major source of water pollution. Runoff of chemical fertilizers, animal waste and pesticides contaminates lakes and streams.
