  • Sustainable Agriculture Nigeria

    Sustainable Agriculture Nigeria

    Emily Robb Vincent Massey High School Brandon, MB Nigeria: Sustainable Agriculture Nigeria: Implementing Sustainable Agricultural Practices to Compensate for the Rising Population In our growing world, agriculture is becoming more extensive as development and urbanization of Earth continues and food requirements increase. Unfortunately, some of the most agriculturally driven countries lack sustainable practices in growing or harvesting food, thus leading to a degradation of the environment, the quality of the harvest, and the amount of yield. The way that Nigerian agriculture and the country demographics function is closely related to sustainability problems that the country faces. With the change from current agricultural operations to more reliable, environmentally friendly, and more sustainable methods, these problems could be solved over time. Nigeria is in Africa and is the 7th most populated country on Earth with 190.9 million citizens. Population increases bring food security related issues (Ufiobor, 2017, p. 11). The population is 50.2% urban. Nigeria, a federation, is lead by a democratically elected president. It shares political borders with Chad, Cameroon, Niger, and the Republic of Benin, and borders water bodies including Lake Chad, the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean), the Niger River, and River Benue. Nigeria has topographical highlands and plateaus, found in the African tropics. Four climate types influence Nigeria (“Geography of Nigeria”, 2018). The monsoon climate covers southern Nigeria, accessing water from the ocean and providing 4000 millimeters of rainfall annually. The temperature is consistently 27˚C. The tropical savanna climate covers most of Nigeria and borders the monsoon climate. Temperatures will dip to 18˚C, but can reach 37˚C.

    Another Global History of Science: Making Space for India and China

    BJHS: Themes 1: 115–143, 2016. © British Society for the History of Science 2016. This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:10.1017/bjt.2016.4 First published online 22 March 2016 Another global history of science: making space for India and China ASIF SIDDIQI* Abstract. Drawing from recent theoretical insights on the circulation of knowledge, this article, grounded in real-world examples, illustrates the importance of ‘the site’ as an analytical heur- istic for revealing processes, movements and connections illegible within either nation-centred histories or comparative national studies. By investigating place instead of project, the study reframes the birth of modern rocket developments in both China and India as fundamentally intertwined within common global networks of science. I investigate four seemingly discon- nected sites in the US, India, China and Ukraine, each separated by politics but connected and embedded in conduits that enabled the flow of expertise during (and in some cases despite) the Cold War. By doing so, it is possible to reconstruct an exemplar of a kind of global history of science, some of which takes place in China, some in India, and some else- where, but all of it connected. There are no discrete beginnings or endings here, merely points of intervention to take stock of processes in action. Each site produces objects and knowledge that contribute to our understanding of the other sites, furthering the overall narra- tive on Chinese and Indian efforts to formalize a ‘national’ space programme.
