Making Bees Sick
A combination of factors could be making bees sick, including pesticide exposure, invasive parasitic mites, an inadequate food supply and a new
virus that targets bees' immune systems. However, the main cause of Colony Collapse Disorder is most likely the use/overuse of commercial
pesticides by agribusinesses, such as Monsanto and Syngenta. Neonicotinoids, or "neonics," are pesticides approved by the EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) on more than 120 crops, including fruits, vegetables, corn, soy, canola and grains, to kill a variety of crop–ravaging insects. They
dissolve in water and are applied directly to the soil, or sprayed on seeds and plants. Whichever way they are used, the pesticides are harmful. The
plants soak up the pesticides, which then stay in the plant throughout its... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Neonicotinoids, specifically, can remain in the soil for years, and will eventually be soaked up by the new plants that grow and come in contact with
it. When a honeybee arrives at the blossom to collect pollen, much of the bee's body is exposed to neonics. This exposure will likely cause the bee to
become sick and eventually die. Our textbook defines sustainable agriculture as: "Agricultural methods that maintain soil productivity and a healthy
ecological balance while having minimal long–term impacts." When discussing the benefits and problems of using pesticides to control agricultural
pests, we are introduced to the terms, "narrow–spectrum pesticides" and "broad–spectrum pesticides". Narrow–spectrum pesticides are described as
ideal, because they kill only the intended organism, without harming other species. However, the pesticides that are being used the most are
broad–spectrum pesticides, which is why our precious bees have become collateral damage (Berg, Linda R.,Visualizing Environmental Science,

Taking a Closer Look at Atrazine
Part one: My group did Atrazine and I came to quickly discover that it wasn't just an herbicide farmer's used. There was so much more to the story
and it was more than a controversial topic, it involved a major feud between two sides. The company Syngenta, who primarily produces atrazine, and a
now well–known scientist, Dr. Hayes. WithSyngenta being the primary producer of the product it's a no brainer that they would suffer if it were to be
taken off the market. Dr. Hayes has published research of his own that shows that if the chemical gets into our drinking water it can have negative
affects on amphibians. There are also speculations that it might affect humans as well. Dr. Hayes actually did research for the company on the
product, but when they wouldn't let him produce what he found he cut ties with the company and had others help in publish what he had found.
This spiked the feud, or what I like to call war, between the two. For the presentation we had to remain neutral and leave out our opinions and I
found this hard to do because I was so strongly against the usage of the product from doing research. In this paper I will go into detail about my
stance on the topic, why I have taken this side, and why this is such a controversy. First, after doing research on the topic, learning the background of

Monsanto Corporation : An Agricultural Company
The Monsanto Corporation is an agricultural company that is split into four different categories: agricultural seed, vegetable seeds, weed control, and

These websites also provide the latest practices in the agricultural market (http://www.aganytime.com).
The buying process for farmers includes the following stages: planning, placement, products, and personal service. During the planning stage the dealer
works with the consumer to help them maximize the profit potential by providing them with access to information about current products, soil reports,
and predicted yield for the upcoming planting season. In the placement stage they provide consumers with different advice for what seed to plant in
different soil types, how to rotate crops effectively, and helping them understand the different weeds or insects that could affect yield. The product
stage is the when the consumer makes the decision to purchase seed from the Monsanto dealer. During this stage the dealer works with the farmer to
help them understand the best and worse traits of the seed they are planting as well as the genetics behind each seed. They do this on a field by field
basis so that the consumer understands what potential each field has. The last stage is one of the most important ones and that is personal service.
After the sale is done the Monsanto dealer then periodically checks in with the farmer to understand any concerns they may have or answer any
questions. By completing the follow up Monsanto is reassuring farmers that they will be there for the entire season and not just the planting part

The Health Impacts Of Eating Foods
Humans have long since possessed the tools for crafting a better world. Where love, compassion, altruism and justice have failed, genetic manipulation
will not succeed. Gina Maranto, Quest for Perfection.
Genetic modification (GM) uses the method of genetic engineering, to manually add new DNA to an organism. With genetic modification one or
more new traits are added to the organism that is not present. This modification is either advantageous to the producer or consumer. Food is
genetically modified to give or take specific characteristics and traits. It has been proven by a number of scientists that eating genetically modified
foods are safe. However this can be contradicted by studies conducted by other scientists and researchers. A great number of research conducted
regarding the safety of GM foods have shown the serious impact GM foods have on people. Not only do they create allergies in children and adults
there are unknown effects to human health. This essay with draw on, the health impacts of eating GM foods as well as the technology and companies
used for genetic modification, how a tomato is modified, the benefits of modification in other countries and patenting genes and its consequences. The

Should GM Plants Be Banned? Essays
Should governments keep a control over the production of GM plants?
Oxford Dictionaries defines being "genetically modified" is equivalent to containing artificially altered genetic material designed to have desirable

Genetic Engineering is the modern technology which is both feared and loved by the scientific community. But, the findings and investigations made
on certain pros and cons are often disputed because the research into GM plants are done by scientists and researchers funded by large corporations
that promote and sell GM technology. On the other hand, other scientists may stand against GM technology because of moral dilemma and other
personal interests. It may even be important for a country or as a whole world to lay out strict and just protocols in testing, documenting and informing
the general public about the real pros and cons of the technology.
Although it is believed by some people that genetically modified plants are beneficial, they should be regulated by the governments because they can
contaminate the environment, their safety cannot be guaranteed and they can destabilize farmers' economy.
Despite being customized to be resistant to pests, it is shown in the report of the United States Department of Agriculture that herbicide usage on

Pros And Cons Of Food Corporations
Food Corporations
How does corporate control of food in the United States extend beyond the obvious role of corporations in the production and distribution of foods
themselves? Well how do big corporations control our food systems? They are so many way's on how the big boy's get their money on the way we
eat. There are so many risks and benefits when it comes to the food system. ***This is one of the risks for example, undocumented farm workers put
food system at risk (Sullivan). It is a bad thing because they are deciding on what other people eat. These big food corporations want to control
something because they feel in their power that they must do something to have control over. For example, flavors and looks. When it comes
down to flavors food corporations know what to add to make something taste good or better yet greater. They know what to put to make it look
good as well. In junk food these big corporations put something that makes us keep coming back for more. For looks, before you eat something
you eat with your eyes first, so appearance is everything. Some people think it is a good thing for food corporations to control what we eat
because it will be an easier way to buy stuff and not think for ourselves and having the work done for us. Some people are use to having the work
done for them because it is the way of some lives on how some people were raised. That is one of the ways that food corporations control our food
system. According to Greenpeace.org, the "six corporations– Monsanto, Dupont, Dow, Syngenta, Bayer and Basf control 75% of the world pesticide
market." (Corporations control our food) So those big corporations are just making a lot of money by just controlling what we eat. Having
corporations decide for the people on what to eat and what each person should eat is not right. Not allowing people to think and decide for themselves.
But, this country is so use to it that is normal to them.

most important risks to the smallholder farmers were drought, input costs and crop pests and diseases respectively while the least ranked risks in the
same order of importance were excess rains, floods and frost. Similarly, the results reveal that the smallholder farmers ranked engagement in off–farm

stopping children from attending school were also ranked as the least important strategies. In addition, the findings do not strongly suggest a negative

The differences found in the social report between the two companies could be explained by the different views between the US and EU concerning

For example, the US is the world's leading producer of genetically modified crops. This explains, why Monsanto Company makes more emphasis on
improving their biotechnology and teach it to future generations, while EU establishes a strict monitoring of GM products for marketing in regard to
the requirement of mandatory labelling rules. On the other hand, in the United States the issue of GMOs are promoted as a benefit for the population

Genetically Modified Foods: The Downfall of Monsanto Essay
Executive Summary
MonsantoВЎВ¦s downfall could be attributed to several reasons. The passion of Alan ShapiroВЎВ¦s vision blinded the Company into making rash
decisions and the large amounts of money spent pursuing the objective prevented any U–turns later. The companyВЎВ¦s unshaken beliefs that it was
correct had made it arrogant and not listen to the outrage all around. Monsanto underestimated consumer resistance.
There was no obvious benefit in the products introduced. It may have been a different story if the products were introduced in developing counties

Typical mission statements include paying particular attention to the demands and requirements of certain, if not all stakeholders. For an individual, it
may be the family and employer, for a company, it can include shareholders, customers etc. The term stakeholders for a company can be narrowly
defined to include only shareholders, customers and employees or a wider definition to encompass the community and society generally.
Mission statements or objectives are an integral part of any organisationВЎВ¦s culture. These beliefs are so deeply entrenched into staffВЎВ¦s
disposition that they would act automatically on them. I have no doubt that ShapiroВЎВ¦s passionate belief in genetically modified (ВЎВ§GMВЎВЁ)
products would have had a strong influence on the CompanyВЎВ¦s corporate objective. ShapiroВЎВ¦s passion and having $8 billion committed

arrogance within the organisation.

Now, that is a lot of people to feed! Right now, with a world population of around 7 billion, 1 in 9 people suffer from malnutrition because of the
lack of food available to them (Pratta and Reuters; "2016 World Hunger"). Feeding the growing population is going to continue to become a
growing problem as we expand housing and using arable land previously used for growing crops. From 2002 to 2012 over 73 million acres of
arable land was lost ("2016 World Hunger"). With the use of GMO's, the yields produced by farmers can be dramatically increased resulting in less
land needed to produce enough crop. Another problem arising is that the use of crops are being used for alternative reasons other than food
consumption. With the use of ethanol, billions of bushels of corn are taken to the plants instead of processing plants for later food consumption.
While some of the corn taken into ethanol plants reenter the feed market, only 12.2% of the total 27.3% of corn used reenter (Jessen). With the use
of GMO crops people can help reduce the numbers of crop that could be used for food but it is instead used for biogases. Scientists can create
specially modified crops to be targeted for biogasses. Syngenta, a major agribusiness that produces agrochemicals and seeds, have already created, and

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GMOs?
It has been no secret that one of the biggest contributors to GMO crops is Monsanto. This is the same company responsible for Saccharin, Aspartame,
DDT, Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone and Glyphosate. In addition, they are also responsible for PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls that were
used for coolant fluids for electrical transformers, capacitors, and electric motors). This eventually led to Monsanto paying out over $600 million in
2003 to residents of Anniston, Alabama, who experienced severe health problems, including liver disease, neurological disorders and cancer after being

The famous actress Jessica Alba co–founded a company called 'The Honest Company' in 2011. The company puts emphasis on non–toxic materials for

There are certain foods in certain countries that are specifically banned. Russia has banned corn that has been produced in the United States. Also,
Peru has passed a law for a 10–year ban on GMOs and products that contain GMOs due to GMO infested food that has been shipped from the United
States. Poland has banned potatoes and corn!
Creating genetically modified food and other products is detrimental because it contains cheaper ingredients and presents easier access. But since its
legal to genetically modify our consumption products, does it mean that we as society should do it? Should we contribute to the marketing sales of
these products? In the country of Norway, genetically modified organisms are completely banned by law from the country, not even allowing them to
enter the premises of the boarder. There is a 'gene technology act', formed in 1993, that states that all food must undergo chemical and genetic testing
before entering the country and also again before being able to be stocked and sole on the markets. In countries in Europe, they substitute corn syrup

Calculating the Break-Even Point
Calculating the break–even point
To avoid making a loss every business must at least break–even by achieving a level of sales that covers its total costs. But what level of sales is
necessary to break–even?
To explore the concept of break–even, we need to define some basic terms:
Fixed costs: Costs that do not vary with output or sales e.g. managers salaries, rent and rates on business premises. Variable costs: Costs that vary with
the quantity produced or sold e.g. costs of materials and wages Total cost: Fixed costs plus variable costs for any possible level of output. Sales
revenue: The price of the product multiplied by total sales Profit: The difference between total revenue and total cost (where revenues ... Show more

The number of units needed to be sold (or made) to break–even is then calculated as: Fixed cost divided by Contribution per unit
Use of the break–even model on a computer enables managers to explore 'what if...? ' scenarios based on a change in:
selling price fixed costs variable costs sales.
Likely outcomes can then be evaluated and decisions made accordingly.
Now work out these two examples on your own:
i. Calculate the break–even point for a newspaper vendor. He buys in newspapers at 20p each and sells them for 50p each. His fixed costs are ВЈ60 a
day including the rate he pays to the local council. How many newspapers must he sell each day to break–even? ii. A large business has fixed costs of
ВЈ250,000 per week. Its average sales revenue per item is ВЈ2, and its variable costs are on average 50p per item. How many items does it need to sell
to break–even?

conservation can be addressed in developing countries by simply embracing modern farming methods. In developed countries more money will have to
be invested into water saving irrigation methods. There was a time when you didn't shut the water off when you brushed your teeth and now it is
habit to shut the water off to save that little bit of water. The same spirit will have to implemented in farming simple methods can be used to save

population is growing, water is a finite resource, and using less water allows farmers to irrigate more land with the same amount of water.
Farmers across the world will have to embrace modern irrigation techniques. Africa is a prime example of a continent heavily invested in water

Gmos Controversy
GMOs are something that has caused a lot of controversy over the past couple of years. GMOs are corrupting our everyday life. They are in things
such as our food, our crops and our livestock. GMOs are not safe. There have been many studies where GMOs are linked to causing organ damage,
immune system disorders, infertility, cancer and many other physical health and mental health issues. What should we know about GMOs? GMOs are
genetically modified organisms that are made by using DNA methods of gene splicing (World Health Organization). The gene splicing used to create
GMOs creates unstable combinations of plant and animal genes that tend to not occur naturally in nature. The harmful ingredients that make GMOs so
detrimental include agrobacterium tumefaciens, glyphosate resistant enzymes, EPSPS, and thuringiensis (bt.ucsd.edu).
After doing research, I found that there are two types of GMOs. There are 'pesticide producers' and 'herbicide resisters'. The pesticide producers are
sprayed on crops in order to kill the insects that feed on the crops without actually harming the crop itself. The demand for pesticide producers is $52
billion. The herbicide resisters are generally a weed killer. The herbicide resisters are also sprayed on the crops, but instead of killing the insects it kills
the weeds. Again, without harming the crop itself. A common herbicide resister is known as 'roundup'. Roundup is a chemical compound made up of
glyphosate.

Genetically Modified Foods
Part 1
Genetically Modified Food
'With genetically modified foods I believe we have reached the thin edge of the wedge, we are messing with the building blocks of life and its scary' –
Malcom Walker, Chairman and Chief Executive of Iceland Foods (Quotes from Scientists).
Genetically modified organisms or GMOs are plants or animals made by splicing the gene and inserting DNA from different species of plants,
animals, bacteria, and viruses. These genes would not naturally result in a cross breed. As a result of this biotechnology more than ninety percent of
corn, soybean, cotton, sugar, and canola in the US are genetically modified. Other major GMOs are papaya, zucchini and yellow squash (Non–GMO
Project). If not stopped it will be a matter of another few years that they capitalized the entire food industry. Ironically even now, most of the popular
food items of children like cereal, crackers, cookies, and processed lunch meat are all GMOs.
Is genetically modified food good for consumers? What are its impacts? What are the effect of GMO on the environment? How do they influence the
life of a common farmer and the food industry? Is the situation really bad? How did we get trapped in this? What steps can be taken to control it?
These and many other questions need to be addressed before it is too late.

Furthermore, GMO companies have not conducted proper studies sufficient enough to prove their safety for human consumption. Goodman reveals in

Making Bees Sick

  • 1. Making Bees Sick A combination of factors could be making bees sick, including pesticide exposure, invasive parasitic mites, an inadequate food supply and a new virus that targets bees' immune systems. However, the main cause of Colony Collapse Disorder is most likely the use/overuse of commercial pesticides by agribusinesses, such as Monsanto and Syngenta. Neonicotinoids, or "neonics," are pesticides approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) on more than 120 crops, including fruits, vegetables, corn, soy, canola and grains, to kill a variety of crop–ravaging insects. They dissolve in water and are applied directly to the soil, or sprayed on seeds and plants. Whichever way they are used, the pesticides are harmful. The plants soak up the pesticides, which then stay in the plant throughout its... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Neonicotinoids, specifically, can remain in the soil for years, and will eventually be soaked up by the new plants that grow and come in contact with it. When a honeybee arrives at the blossom to collect pollen, much of the bee's body is exposed to neonics. This exposure will likely cause the bee to become sick and eventually die. Our textbook defines sustainable agriculture as: "Agricultural methods that maintain soil productivity and a healthy ecological balance while having minimal long–term impacts." When discussing the benefits and problems of using pesticides to control agricultural pests, we are introduced to the terms, "narrow–spectrum pesticides" and "broad–spectrum pesticides". Narrow–spectrum pesticides are described as ideal, because they kill only the intended organism, without harming other species. However, the pesticides that are being used the most are broad–spectrum pesticides, which is why our precious bees have become collateral damage (Berg, Linda R.,Visualizing Environmental Science, ...

  • 2. Taking a Closer Look at Atrazine Part one: My group did Atrazine and I came to quickly discover that it wasn't just an herbicide farmer's used. There was so much more to the story and it was more than a controversial topic, it involved a major feud between two sides. The company Syngenta, who primarily produces atrazine, and a now well–known scientist, Dr. Hayes. WithSyngenta being the primary producer of the product it's a no brainer that they would suffer if it were to be taken off the market. Dr. Hayes has published research of his own that shows that if the chemical gets into our drinking water it can have negative affects on amphibians. There are also speculations that it might affect humans as well. Dr. Hayes actually did research for the company on the product, but when they wouldn't let him produce what he found he cut ties with the company and had others help in publish what he had found. This spiked the feud, or what I like to call war, between the two. For the presentation we had to remain neutral and leave out our opinions and I found this hard to do because I was so strongly against the usage of the product from doing research. In this paper I will go into detail about my stance on the topic, why I have taken this side, and why this is such a controversy. First, after doing research on the topic, learning the background of atrazine and reading about all the different experiments done on the product, I have taken the side of being against the use. I didn't grow up on a farm and my family ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

They are a fortune 500 company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri and has 21,183 employees at over 400 facilities in 66 countries around the world. I will be focusing on the agricultural seed market of Monsanto. Monsanto top brand are DeKalb, Asgrow, Deltapine. These three are their "bread and butter" and a majority of their profits come from these lines. Since these are high profit seeds lines they spend most of their research and development money and these. However, many consumers feel that the seed line Channel is a sleeper line. This is because ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... These websites also provide the latest practices in the agricultural market (http://www.aganytime.com). The buying process for farmers includes the following stages: planning, placement, products, and personal service. During the planning stage the dealer works with the consumer to help them maximize the profit potential by providing them with access to information about current products, soil reports, and predicted yield for the upcoming planting season. In the placement stage they provide consumers with different advice for what seed to plant in different soil types, how to rotate crops effectively, and helping them understand the different weeds or insects that could affect yield. The product stage is the when the consumer makes the decision to purchase seed from the Monsanto dealer. During this stage the dealer works with the farmer to help them understand the best and worse traits of the seed they are planting as well as the genetics behind each seed. They do this on a field by field basis so that the consumer understands what potential each field has. The last stage is one of the most important ones and that is personal service. After the sale is done the Monsanto dealer then periodically checks in with the farmer to understand any concerns they may have or answer any questions. By completing the follow up Monsanto is reassuring farmers that they will be there for the entire season and not just the planting part (Monnier). The bargaining power of ...

  • 5. The Health Impacts Of Eating Foods Humans have long since possessed the tools for crafting a better world. Where love, compassion, altruism and justice have failed, genetic manipulation will not succeed. Gina Maranto, Quest for Perfection. Genetic modification (GM) uses the method of genetic engineering, to manually add new DNA to an organism. With genetic modification one or more new traits are added to the organism that is not present. This modification is either advantageous to the producer or consumer. Food is genetically modified to give or take specific characteristics and traits. It has been proven by a number of scientists that eating genetically modified foods are safe. However this can be contradicted by studies conducted by other scientists and researchers. A great number of research conducted regarding the safety of GM foods have shown the serious impact GM foods have on people. Not only do they create allergies in children and adults there are unknown effects to human health. This essay with draw on, the health impacts of eating GM foods as well as the technology and companies used for genetic modification, how a tomato is modified, the benefits of modification in other countries and patenting genes and its consequences. The human consumption of GM foods is considered unsafe by many. (Whitman, D. B., 2000).

The same can be said for projects B, C and D. 3. As mentioned earlier, Syngenta is making use of a matrix organizational structure to tap into the breadth and depth of the talents they have, to support their business strategies in the markets in which they operate. Syngenta operates in multidisciplinary markets which require various skills and expertise.

  • 7. Should GM Plants Be Banned? Essays Should governments keep a control over the production of GM plants? Oxford Dictionaries defines being "genetically modified" is equivalent to containing artificially altered genetic material designed to have desirable traits. (Oxford Dictionaries, 2011). It was in 1973 that Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer co–founded the means to achieve DNA cloning and techniques to transplant genes between different biological species and genetic engineering was born (Time, 2002). It is arguable that hybrid species and selective breeding has already existed thousands of years before. But, the significance of genetically engineered organisms is that the gene transfer can be made between non–related organisms such as a plant and an animal. According... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Genetic Engineering is the modern technology which is both feared and loved by the scientific community. But, the findings and investigations made on certain pros and cons are often disputed because the research into GM plants are done by scientists and researchers funded by large corporations that promote and sell GM technology. On the other hand, other scientists may stand against GM technology because of moral dilemma and other personal interests. It may even be important for a country or as a whole world to lay out strict and just protocols in testing, documenting and informing the general public about the real pros and cons of the technology. Although it is believed by some people that genetically modified plants are beneficial, they should be regulated by the governments because they can contaminate the environment, their safety cannot be guaranteed and they can destabilize farmers' economy. Despite being customized to be resistant to pests, it is shown in the report of the United States Department of Agriculture that herbicide usage on genetically modified plants has been increasing significantly over the years (Benbrook , 2004). Benbrook (2009) states that such an increase usage in herbicide is driven by the occurrence of herbicide–resistant weeds. If the genetically modified plants are to be sprayed vigorously with more ...

Some opponents would have you believe these ingredients are the dietary curse of the decade. How concerned should people really be though? This is one of the most debated questions around the world.

The 1980's marked the scientific breakthrough that specific pieces of DNA could be taken from one organism to another. This became the basis of the genetic modification process. In 1983, a tobacco plant resistant to anti–biotics was created, becoming the first transgenic plant. It then took another decade before the first genetically–altered crop was commercially introduced. This was the famous delayed–ripening "Flavr–savr" tomato approved by the FDA on May 18, 1994. The tomato was fed to mice in laboratory test who, normally relishing tomatoes, refused to eat these lab–creations and had to be force–fed. Several of the mice developed stomach lesions and seven of the forty mice died within two weeks. Without any more safety testing the tomato was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for commercialization. However, it ended up as a production and commercial failure, and was ultimately abandoned in 1996(Lacey). Secret documents were made public from a lawsuit that showed the scientific consensus at the agency was that genetically modified foods were inherently dangerous and might create hard–to–detect allergies, toxins, new diseases and nutritional problems.

  • 10. Pros And Cons Of Food Corporations Food Corporations How does corporate control of food in the United States extend beyond the obvious role of corporations in the production and distribution of foods themselves? Well how do big corporations control our food systems? They are so many way's on how the big boy's get their money on the way we eat. There are so many risks and benefits when it comes to the food system. ***This is one of the risks for example, undocumented farm workers put food system at risk (Sullivan). It is a bad thing because they are deciding on what other people eat. These big food corporations want to control something because they feel in their power that they must do something to have control over. For example, flavors and looks. When it comes down to flavors food corporations know what to add to make something taste good or better yet greater. They know what to put to make it look good as well. In junk food these big corporations put something that makes us keep coming back for more. For looks, before you eat something you eat with your eyes first, so appearance is everything. Some people think it is a good thing for food corporations to control what we eat because it will be an easier way to buy stuff and not think for ourselves and having the work done for us. Some people are use to having the work done for them because it is the way of some lives on how some people were raised. That is one of the ways that food corporations control our food system. According to Greenpeace.org, the "six corporations– Monsanto, Dupont, Dow, Syngenta, Bayer and Basf control 75% of the world pesticide market." (Corporations control our food) So those big corporations are just making a lot of money by just controlling what we eat. Having corporations decide for the people on what to eat and what each person should eat is not right. Not allowing people to think and decide for themselves. But, this country is so use to it that is normal to them. According to USAtoday.com "Many of these companies and their brands are extremely well know." One reason is that they often spend big amounts of money on the adverts. Nine of these ten companies were among the 100 largest media spenders in the world in 2012.

The report confirms what environmentalists and beekeepers have implored for years: NEONICTINOIDS WEAKEN, DISORIENT AND KILL HONEY BEES. Newsweek reported that honeybees in trucks migrate to various regions of the country to pollinate an estimated $40 billion worth of the nation's agricultural produce each year. That means that every third bite of food we eat comes as the result of bees and other pollinators. That means they are responsible for 80% of all food crops in the US. Industry is scrambling to manage the crisis, with Big Agriculture securing healthy honeybee hives from wherever it can find them and transporting them around the country to pollinate crops.

Genetically engineered animals have genes that are switched out with others, taken out completely, or a new gene is added into the animals already existing genome.

The study established that the most important risks to the smallholder farmers were drought, input costs and crop pests and diseases respectively while the least ranked risks in the same order of importance were excess rains, floods and frost. Similarly, the results reveal that the smallholder farmers ranked engagement in off–farm work, use of household savings and crop diversification as the most important strategies of coping with drought. Borrowing from banks, food aid and stopping children from attending school were also ranked as the least important strategies. In addition, the findings do not strongly suggest a negative attitude towards weather index insurance among smallholders thus controverting hitherto studies that do not overly explain why?

They are in things such as our food, our crops and our livestock. GMOs are not safe. There have been many studies where GMOs are linked to causing organ damage, immune system disorders, infertility, cancer and many other physical health and mental health issues. What should we know about GMOs? GMOs are genetically modified organisms that are made by using DNA methods of gene splicing (World Health Organization). The gene splicing used to create GMOs creates unstable combinations of plant and animal genes that tend to not occur naturally in nature. The harmful ingredients that make GMOs so detrimental include agrobacterium tumefaciens, glyphosate resistant enzymes, EPSPS, and thuringiensis (bt.ucsd.edu). After doing research, I found that there are two types of GMOs. There are 'pesticide producers' and 'herbicide resisters'. The pesticide producers are sprayed on crops in order to kill the insects that feed on the crops without actually harming the crop itself. The demand for pesticide producers is $52 billion. The herbicide resisters are generally a weed killer. The herbicide resisters are also sprayed on the crops, but instead of killing the insects it kills the weeds. Again, without harming the crop itself. A common herbicide resister is known as 'roundup'. Roundup is a chemical compound made up of glyphosate. Before actually looking into the facts ...

  • 34. Genetically Modified Foods Part 1 Genetically Modified Food 'With genetically modified foods I believe we have reached the thin edge of the wedge, we are messing with the building blocks of life and its scary' – Malcom Walker, Chairman and Chief Executive of Iceland Foods (Quotes from Scientists). Genetically modified organisms or GMOs are plants or animals made by splicing the gene and inserting DNA from different species of plants, animals, bacteria, and viruses. These genes would not naturally result in a cross breed. As a result of this biotechnology more than ninety percent of corn, soybean, cotton, sugar, and canola in the US are genetically modified. Other major GMOs are papaya, zucchini and yellow squash (Non–GMO Project). If not stopped it will be a matter of another few years that they capitalized the entire food industry. Ironically even now, most of the popular food items of children like cereal, crackers, cookies, and processed lunch meat are all GMOs. Is genetically modified food good for consumers? What are its impacts? What are the effect of GMO on the environment? How do they influence the life of a common farmer and the food industry? Is the situation really bad? How did we get trapped in this? What steps can be taken to control it? These and many other questions need to be addressed before it is too late. History Even before Charles Darwin or Gregor Mendel proposed their theories of selection and genetics, man was modifying living species. The understanding of the genome led to an ...

  • 35. Pesticide and Insecticide INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the keystone of the Indian economy. Ensuring food security for more than1 billion Indian populations with diminishing cultivable land resource is a herculean task. This necessitates use of high yielding variety of seeds, balance use of fertilizers, judicious use of quality pesticides along with education to farmers and the use of modern farming techniques. It is estimated that India approximately loses 18 percent of the crop yield valued at Rs.900 billion due to pest attack each year. The use of pesticides help to reduce the crop losses, provide economic benefits to farmers, reduce soil erosion and helping ensuring food safety & security for the nation.

  • 36. Honey Bee Decline Essay In the last century, the domestic honey bee population has declined by roughly 50 percent, and researchers have been grappled with the understanding what is exactly is causing the decline in the bee population. The main reasons for global bee decline are linked to industrial agriculture, parasites, pathogens and climate change. Scientists now believe at least some of these pesticides play a major role in Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the ongoing demise of honeybee colonies. There used to be "6 million honey bee colonies in the U.S. 60 years ago, now there are just 2.5 million."(Here There Everywhere) The term CCD was originally used to describe "the phenomenon when worker bees suddenly and mysteriously disappeared and leave the queen behind."(U.S.EPA) We have been forced to face the reality of what the loss of the bees mean for the large, global ecosystem. The loss of biodiversity due to monocultures and the widespread use of bee–kill pesticides are particular threats for honeybees and wild pollinators. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Crops consumed by humans are also dependent on bees for example, apples, pears, strawberries, melons and other flowering fruit or crops depends on bees to fertilize the flowers so the fruit will develop. When bees get nectar from a flower it gets coated in pollen, then the bees carry the pollen to another flower, fertilizing it and causing the flowers to develop into fruit. Without pollination, many flowering crops would not yield fruit, or would yield very little. "Honey bees and other pollinators and the invaluable pollinating services they provide us ...

The wind speed averages eight to nine miles per hour, and a primary ingredient, chlorpyrifos, in the pesticides is prohibited from application when the wind speeds are higher than ten miles per hour. On a windy day, incidents such as the evacuation of Waimea Canyon Middle School are bound to occur. Furthermore, GMO companies have not conducted proper studies sufficient enough to prove their safety for human consumption. Goodman reveals in "Independent Health Risk Studies" that companies conduct heavily biased studies and ignore the findings of independent researchers if their evidence is contradictory towards the companies' products. "Summary data from a 90–day rat feeding study revealed to European regulators raised concerns, promptВing requests for release of the full study, which had been conducted by Monsanto. The company refused to comply, acceding only a year later upon order of a German court" (Goodman). Monsanto is a dominant supplier in the GMO market, and their refusal to release a full health study to the public is questionable as to what the true results were. Only upon order of the German government did they finally give up the results of the study, which showed an elevated white blood cell count and lower kidney weights in rats fed GMO corn compared to rats fed normal corn. Finally, the GMO companies are manipulating Hawaii's government to achieve their corporate goals. Ludwig explains in "Hawaii's GMO War Headed to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 39. Bee Hiving Scenarios Scenario One: In this scenario, a student decides to test the accuracy of an advertisement from a fertilizer company. The ad says their fertilizer increases the growth of a tomato plant by 25%. This is an incorrect method of advertisement since you should never put a guarantee within an ad, but that's not very relevant. The student decides to run the following experiment to test the advertising claim: 1. Choose three similar–sized tomato plants. 2. Plant each tomato plant in a small pot. 3. Place all three small pots into one container and place on a window sill. 4. Add fertilizer mixed with water to Plants 1 and 2. 5. Add only water to Plant 3. 6.
