The eighth principle of environmental justice states that all workers have rights to a safe and healthy working environment including one free of environmental hazards. These seventeen principles promote economic alternatives which develop an environmentally safe livelihood for people of color. The beginning of this ongoing battle was fueled by low income, colored communities that were becoming the resting ground for facilities with negative environmental impacts. In the early 1960s, Cesar Chavez lead Latino farmworkers on a march for workplace…...
When you think about agriculture, technological advances probably aren't the first things that come to mind.

The scholarly article, “Predator-induced stress makes the pesticide carbaryl more deadly to gray treefrog tadpoles,” summarizes Relyea’s and Mills’ research on widespread pesticide use and its impact on the global decline in amphibians. Previously, there was not enough persuasive evidence to support the hypothesis that pesticide use was a major contributor to global amphibian decline, and any existing research was conducted under highly artificial conditions. However, Relyea’s and Mills’ research has shown that low concentrations of just one pesticide—in this…...
Recently, there has been an increase in organic food recognition for the absence of deadly synthetic pesticides in its growth process. However, through the 1900s, the farming industry consistently increased the usage of pesticides. This was due to the farming industry, and the state government’s agenda to increase annual crop yield, and thus to make more money. In response to these selfish actions, Cesar Chavez, along with many Californian farmers and workers, established the National Farm Workers Association to strike…...

Agricultural and Industrial Revolution The agricultural revolution occurred between 1750 and 1900. It was a drastic change in the methods of farming. Farmers changed the way they grew their crops and used land. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, farmers had stripes of land on which they grew their crops on. This system the farmers used had many disadvantages. There was some space wasted where the strips were divided, the drainage system was poor and farmers had to leave…...

George W.C occupation as an agricultural scientist wasn’t easy as it was not a popular occupation and the people didn’t believe in them. Many people that his research targeted, such as farmers, didn’t think he was right since they believed the experience they have.

He also improved the crops rotation system which made soil richer…...
Based on what I absorbed through the video, the average farmer lies somewhere closer to that of a corporate CEO but still represents some aspect of the American Gothic type of farmer. In the corporate facet, today’s farmers deal with all the stress and money predicaments pretty close to the representation of a CEO. A CEO’s definition is a chief executive officer. This means that the farmer is the highest in the authority of his people and also is responsible…...
The IPPC’s (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) special report titled Climate Change and Land, found that “a third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions” originates from the “land,” reports Maartje Sevenster and Brad Ridoutt of The Conversation, a not-for-profit media network. This means greenhouse gases come from “farming, food production, land clearing, and deforestation.” The report heavily focuses on sustainable farming because plants and soil can “potentially hold” large amounts of carbon. For consumers, it’s difficult to “work out” an…...
