Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
Creating a measurable goal makes it possible to determine the progress of the goal and to determine if the goal has been achieved or not. A measurable goal assist an individual to known when the goal have been reached.
A measurable goal can help improve motivation by allowing an individual to effectively track progress toward meeting the goal and also makes it possible to prepare an efficient plan that will assist in the actualization of the goal.
Therefore all the above mentioned points are reasons why a goal must be measurable.
If it was the search for a short route to Asia that brought the Dutch to North America, it was the beaver that made them stay. In 16th- and 17th-century Europe, fur was more than a luxury: as standards of living rose, fur-lined coats, fur collars, fur capes and muffs became near necessities. The beaver was particularly prized because its fur had a special characteristic: under the long glossy coat was another layer of short, tightly-packed hairs. This layer was made into felt, which produced hats of every description and fashion, of great warmth and quality.
Russia was the first major supplier of beaver and other furs. The decline in its population of furry animals coincided with the French discovery of rich beaver lands in Canada, and with Henry Hudson's charting of the Hudson River. The West India Company founded New Netherland not as a colony for the growth of settlements but as a way to exploit the "soft gold" of the region. Within a few years of Hudson's 1609 voyage, Indians of many tribes were bringing animal pelts along the three major river systems to Dutch trading posts.
The trade was a much bigger business than is popularly thought: in one seven-year period, from 1626 to 1632, the Dutch traded shipped home to the Netherlands 52,584 pelts. The trade rapidly transformed the tribes of the region, causing them to hunt farther and farther afield and for a greater portion of the year in order to trap enough furs to trade for the supplies they now desired. This led to a breakdown of the traditional duties of men and women, and greater reliance on the Europeans.
The Dutch also learned quickly how to adapt to the Indians. They had to have ready supplies of the kinds of products the Indians wanted-knives, axes, needles, glassware, kettles, and a coarse wool called duffel (after the town of Duffel where it was made, in what is now Belgium)-or the Indians would go to the English to their north. It was a system that was bound to end, as the beaver population simply couldn't keep up with the demand, but for a time it benefitted both the Europeans and the native Americans who participated in it, even while it locked them in a complicated, and often dangerous, relationship.

Answer:
The global demand for food, water and energy is expected to increase by about 40 to 50 percent by 2030.
This is driven in part by an expanding population, rapid urbanization, greater prosperity and changing diets.
Meeting the increasing demand requires smarter, greener and more efficient food systems – especially as the climate changes and natural resources become scarcer.
“Doubling food production by 2030 will not come from putting more fertile land into production but mainly from sustainably intensifying production – that is, getting more from agricultural lands already in use – and from using marginal lands, such as drylands,” said Alessandro Flammini, an FAO natural resources officer.
The FAO Investment Days, which this year focused on innovations in agriculture, showcased technologies and practices for restoring degraded lands and growing food in the desert.
