CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important and extensively cultivated food crop that has been referred as “Global Grain” because of its use as prime staple food in about 100 countries of the world. Its cultivation is of immense importance to food security of Asia, where > 90 % of the global rice is produced and consumed. Rice provides 32-59% of the dietary energy and 25-44% of the dietary protein in 39 countries. In India, it accounts for >40% of food grain production, providing direct employment to 70% people in rural areas (New Delhi, 2012). Rice is the most consumed cereal grain in the world, constituting the dietary staple food for more than half of the planets human population. Globally, rice is the second most widely consumed cereal next to wheat and it has occupied an area of 163.2 million hectares, with a total production of 719.7 million tonnes (Anonymous, 2014a). Rice provides about two-third of the calorie intake for more than two billion people in Asia and a third of the calorie intake of nearly one billion people in Africa and Latin America (Shastry et al., 2000). Hence, there is a need to increase the productivity of rice. In India, rice occupies an area of 43.95 million hectare with an average production of 106.29 million tonnes with productivity of 2424 kg ha-1, though increasing marginally, but is …show more content…

The case People v. Rice is about a girl named Nina Rice, who was charged with information with the crimes of theft and computer crimes.

The major adversaries of Ventria Bioscience are the Japanese rice consumers, the rice producers of California, and the California Rice Commission (CRC). The Japanese rice consumers have a large impact on the opposition of Ventria Bioscience because of their negative reaction towards genetically modified rice. Their viewpoints on this subject are expressed by the Japanese Rice Retailers Association, who represent their concerns and threatened to influence the Japanese government to stop importing California rice if it is commercialized in the United States. The Japanese rice consumers pose a major threat because the Japanese Government 's potential halt of importing California rice will damage the California rice industry, the California rice
The story of Rice without Rain by Minfong Ho is about a village trying to survive and young idealistic college students trying to influence change among the people. From the time the students were introduced to Jinda and the village to the end of the book their intentions were to help the village but the efforts to abolish the crop tax put people in harm's way. Controversy among the villagers over change caused great strife and issues. These events and others changed the future of the village. Through these actions and the characters, it shows that attempts to eliminate oppression result in unforeseen outcomes as shown by Ned’s teaching in the village, Sri trying to incorporate modern medicine, and Duo’s bad decisions.
1. Domestic violence is one of the most underreported crimes in the United States for the fact that victims are not sure the true extent of domestic violence or the mere fact that they need the abuser, financially or socially. First of all, the media needs to gain the trust of the victim and their family members—trust is essential to reporting the story. The media needs to ensure that they do not victim blame—meaning that they do not make excuses for the abuser, i.e. she was making him mad, it was self-defense, this was their first offence, etc. Linda Osmundson, the Executive Director of CASA offers some key advice to journalists: • Focus on the abuser and not so much about the victim for staying with their abuser • Do not re-victimize the victim by blaming them • Alcohol and drug use is involved but do not allow alcohol to become an excuse • Abuse is a world view, not a disease 2.

As farming increases, “the global smart agriculture/farming market is anticipated to reach 18.21 billion USD by 2025. Factors such as consistent growth in population, low availability of cultivable land, government incentives, and demand for fresh and high-quality food are expected to drive the smart greenhouse market. According to World Health Organization (WHO) and Population Council, 80% of the global population resides in urban cities. The prevailing scarcity of land in urban cities has urged growers to adopt new solutions for developing fresh produces. For instance, the vertical farming technique enables consumers to grow crops indoor in layers, in a multi-story building, stacked on racks, or in a warehouse.
In chapter 14 of Agenda 21, on sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD), states that by the year 2025, 83 per cent of the expected global population of 8.5 billion will be living in developing countries. Yet the capacity of available resources and technologies to satisfy the demands of this growing population for food and other agricultural commodities remains uncertain. Agriculture has to meet this challenge, mainly by increasing production on land that is already in use and by avoiding further encroachment on land that is only marginally suitable for
The distinctive factor that sets Islam apart from the other monotheistic religions, is the way it was conceived. On the one hand, Islam unraveled as the legacy and syncretism of the vast array of religions and customs that were in its midst, yet on the other, it made headway in an exclusive manner, according to its own new modus operandi. Based on this, the case of Islam must be interpreted as emergence out of a particular set of contexts, rather than the rise of a new religion completely disassociated with the environment.

When I was nine years old, my parents came back to the countryside from Shanghai, a huge and thriving fishing village before. That was during Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the enforced displacement of educated people to rural areas. As the director of a paper mill, which had once helped Kuomintang, a party against communist party, to make maps, my father unfortunately was tortured cruelly, so he finally had to give up everything in Shanghai, and went back to our small village with my mother to start over. However, without stable income, it was hard to raise five kids up because there was not enough food. Although I enjoyed the time at school, I still believed that food was much more important than knowledge, so I quit the school after
