It’s obvious to anyone who visits an American supermarket in winter — past displays brimming with Chilean grapes, Mexican berries and Vietnamese dragon fruit — that foreign farms supply much of our produce.
Imports have increased steadily for decades, but the extent of the change may be surprising: More than half of the fresh fruit and almost a third of the fresh vegetables Americans buy now come from other countries.
Although local, seasonal and farm-to-table are watchwords for many consumers, globalization has triumphed in the produce aisle. And despite the protectionist “America First” message coming from the Trump administration, the growth in imports appears likely to continue.
So this is an apt moment to examine how the shift happened, and what it portends — good or ill — for American consumers and farmers.
“I had no idea that more than half our fruit is imported, and it shocks me that this has happened so quickly,” said Michael Pollan, a professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, whose best-selling books have analyzed the tensions between local and global food systems
Explanation:
The magnet's north pole would point to the Earth's south pole and the magnet's south pole would point to the Earth's north pole.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- There is a magnetic pole in the earth and the magnetic poles of the earth run using the equator and it has both the closures at the arctic pole and the Antarctic pole. The attractive positive field or the north pole is situated in the arctic zone and the south pole is situated in the Antarctic zone.
- The magnetic positive field or the north pole is situated in the arctic zone. Any magnet which is allowed to rotate whenever suspended on the outside of the earth will align itself with the magnetic field of the earth. That is the way the bar magnet orients itself comparative with this current planet's magnetic field.
