I learned that agriculture is in many aspects of daily life, even in something as simple as grocery shopping. So much goes into the ground beef or the corn that you buy. Someone raised a calf to sale or planted the seed with their own hands. Farmers put a great effort into the food they produce. There is also a good amount of research and lab work that goes into the production of food. Every day while going through our days we do not see all the work that goes into our food. All this work is working towards a greater good, producing more from less. To help with one of the world’s greatest problems, world hunger. People are trying everyday to improve the production of food to help …show more content…

Science does a lot of good in the world, helping the biggest problems the world faces today. Agriculture and science go hand and hand together, from vaccines to pesticides. I want to make a difference in the world, I want to make other people’s lives better. If I could just help one animal or person I will accomplish my goal, but first I need to put forth an effort towards my goal. Being in my sophomore year I realized I need to apply myself more, in class and out. Join clubs that interest me and get involved within the school. As well as outside of school, there are great things I can do that the university has shown me, from internships and jobs. If I want to accomplish what I want, I need to be focus and stay on task. I need to take every opportunity that is shown to me that may help me towards my goal. There are so many great opportunity at every corner here and I need to take advance of that. In the end, I am very grateful for the great staff here that want to help, and realized what my end goals are and how I need to achieve

I feel this false information has a greater impact on society as it is presented in an accusatory way of harm in agricultural production. In my college and career focus I plan to find ways to speak the truth about agriculture and advocate for farmers and ranchers.

Throughout my childhood there was always fresh meat and vegetables on the table. When other families were worrying about the recent recall on the type of meat they had just purchased or the chemicals being sprayed onto their fruits and vegetable, I was left wondering why these other families just didn’t do as we did. Having your own family farm not only saves money that you would spend in the grocery store, but also allows for your family to bond over something that’s not on TV.

  • Stuffed And Starved Summary

    1540 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.
