  • Swidden Agriculture Thesis

    Swidden agriculture also known as slash-and-burn is depicted in a negative light because of myths that has been created from people who are not familiar with its practice or do not understands its purpose. One of the narrative is that it creates a useless and unsustainable land. This could be easily misunderstood as the image of the land after being burned can be seen lifeless and barren. People tend to associate a fertile land with lush greens with the sun in the background and not the image of swidden agriculture. Furthermore, media portrayal of wildfire only puts the idea that wildfire are harmful and should be put out which only makes swidden agriculture seem destructive.

  • Radish Plant Experiment

    924 Words  | 4 Pages

    The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018).

    To the uneducated modern consumer, their food comes from the grocery store and they have little to no understanding of the time and effort it takes to produce a single crop. No longer is growing food the basic process of planting a seed, watering, providing sunlight, and then harvesting; today modern agriculture is much more complex. There are the processes of sustaining soil nutrition by applying fertilizers or implementing cover crops. Aerial drones are now used to survey fields and evaluate nitrogen levels in the soil and take thermal readings of crops to detect stress from possible disease or lack of hydration within the plants. The capital necessary to farm is extensive: tractors, seeders, tillers, cultipackers, sprayers, combines, manure spreaders, trucking services, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, and the cost of purchasing seed.
