Answer:
(a) (i) Define the term "Green Revolution" as used during the period 1945 to 1985.
- The use of modern agricultural techniques became widespread around many regions in the world. This led to higher yields through the use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(ii) Explain the principal agricultural practices/technologies associated with the green revolution.
- extensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(iii) Name TWO regions, in different parts of the world, where the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields.
- In North America, Mexican food production increased and they stopped importing food. Although currently that has reversed, and it is importing even more food than before.
- In Brazil, agricultural production increased dramatically. Both total farmed area and yields have continued to increase in the past years becoming a threat to the amazon basin.
(b) Identify and discuss TWO social, political, or cultural conditions necessary for the success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Emigration from rural areas to urban areas which resulted in a rapid expansion of urban centers. Since less labor was needed in farms, many people left rural areas due to lack of jobs.
- People started accepting genetically modified crops, which were not well accepted at first. A lot of money was invested in research and development of new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
(c) Identify and discuss TWO significant economic or ecological factors that may limit the long-term success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Many new agricultural techniques have resulted in a decrease of soil fertility. In many places crops cannot grow unless a lot of fertilizer is used.
- Countries were the green revolution was originally successful, like Mexico (where it started), have reduced the total area dedicated to crops. As the yields increased, the price of food started to decrease and many small farms could not keep operating.
(12-6)/12 gives you the growth rate *over five years* (115%)
divide that by 5 and you get an average rate of 23% growth per year.
If we’re rounding, yes, that statement is correct. Otherwise, growth over five years doubled because there was a growth of 115% and year-over-year growth was 23%.
I don’t know if the numbers are supposed to be together or not but if it’s 752,863 than the expanded notation is:
700,000
+ 50,000
+ 2,000
+ 800
+ 50
+ 3
And if it is 752; 863 than the expanded notation is:
700
+ 50
+ 2
;
800
+ 60
+ 3
Answer:
Nominal interest rate (n) = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate (i) = -2% = -0.02
Real interest rate (r) = ?
Application of Fisher's Equation
(I + n) = (1 + r)(1 + i)
(1 + 0.10) = (1 + r)(1 + -0.02)
1.10 = (1 + r)(0.98)
<u>1.10</u> = 1 + r
0.98
1.1224 = 1 + r
1.1224 - 1 = r
r = 0.1224 = 12.24%
Jimmer's real income will change by 12.24% next year.
Explanation:
In the determination of the rate of change in real income, there is need to apply Fisher's equation. The nominal rate and inflation rate have been given, thus, we will make the real rate the subject of the formula.
The singular thing which is important for modern firms to build and maintain by conducting ethical and transparent transactions is:
<h3>What is Consumer Trust?</h3>
This refers to the belief which a customer has in a particular business, usually because of its ethical and transparent practises.
With this in mind, we can see that if modern firms fail to build this consumer trust, then they stand the risk of losing their customer base to their competition.
