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:
<span>Weight measured as a force in Newtonsis best described by the answer that is listed under option C. It is a measure of gravitational force on an object. So, interestingly an item with a specific mass of say 120KGs on earth would weigh 1200 N but on the moon only weigh 200 N due to the smaller gravitational force.</span>
True, bc each element emits lights that have an unique wavelength and frequency
Answer:
The correct answer is: K'= 0.033.
Explanation:
The formation of HI from H₂ and I₂ is given by:
H₂ + I₂ → 2 HI K= 29.9
The decomposition of HI is the reverse reaction of the formation of HI:
2 HI → H₂ + I₂ K'
Thus, K' is the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction of formation of HI. It is calculated as the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the forward reaction (K):
K' = 1/K = 1/(29.9)= 0.033
Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the decomposition of HI is K'= 0.033
The answer for this question is
