I chose this picture because that is exactly what this movie warns people about. The unchecked greed and waste of humans will eventually wreck the world, we already produce so much trash and we just bury it to ignore it (but things don't decompose when not exposed to air and buried in landfills) . We either have these choices: work now on fixing the planet, hope that we may be able to fix it in the future, or leave if we have advanced to that stage before we ruin the world. this movie shows that just a little preventative care may have been able to save the planet ad prevent future generations from having to fix the former generations problems.

I chose pesticides as the most important chemical derived from plants. Pesticides are not only having a large effect on the environment but they are now discussing the effect these pesticides could be having on people as they are added to crops. Pesticides are one of the most important chemicals we use to be able to provide enough viable food to the population. There are many different types of plant derived pesticide chemicals, like Neem or Rotenone, both which seek to prevent pests from eating crops.

I included an article about the genetic modification of seeds and how those seeds allowed for food surplus. Those modifications making it possible for those seeds to be hardy enough to survive the trip. Those modifications also allowed countries to have more food security with higher yields, allowing them to have some leftover to trade. That ability to begin trading more agricultural surplus with other countries encouraged the cohesion of a world market. I chose that reason because it still continues today with nations needing to have food security in their own country to even begin trading with others, because the population must be fed first.

Private agricultural marketing systems in developing countries are sometimes considered incapable of handling rapid growth in farm produce with adequate reward to the producer. As such, they could discourage improvements in farm productivity. This paper shows that this is not necessarily so in Pakistan. During the Green Revolution of the Sixties, when, owing to cultivation of HYVs, total production of wheat and (coarse) rice increased significantly, the marketing system facilitated the farmer's search for a desired price. More traders entered the trade, and increased competition among them enabled the farmer to secure better prices for his wheat and rice crops. The trader's margin at different stages of marketing also went down during the Green Revolution period, signifying an improvement in the performance of agricultural markets.

Journal Information

The Pakistan Development Review started at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics as Economic Digest in 1958, The Pakistan Development Review (PDR) has been published by the Institute regularly since 1961, with only a short pause during 1971-72. For several decades now, it has been a refereed international journal of Economics and related social sciences. Redesigned and re-planned twice in the last two decade, the contents have tended to emphasise theoretical-cum-empirical contributions; the underlying commitment has been to strengthen the interest in the general areas of Economics and other social science fields. The journal is issued quarterly and, with a fair mix of topics, regularly contains original (theoretical and empirical) contributions to Economics, in general, and on Pakistan's socio-economic problems, in particular. Nearly every issue carries contributions by scholars from Pakistan and overseas. Currently, the following editors work regularly on the PDR: Dr Rashid Amjad Chaudhry (Editor) and Professor Aurangzeb A. Hashmi (Literary Editor). The Review's Editorial Board consists of thirty-six outstanding scholars in the field of Economics and various social science fields. They actively participate in refereeing the papers Publications and Research Information submitted to the Review for publication; they also render valuable advice on other related matters.

Publisher Information

The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics was established at Karachi in 1957 and in 1964 accorded the status of an autonomous research organization by the Government of Pakistan. It is devoted to theoretical and empirical research in Development Economics in general and on Pakistan-related economic issues in particular. In addition to providing a firm academic basis to economic policy-making, its research also provides a window through which the outside world can view the nature and direction of economic research in Pakistan. Other social sciences, such as demography and anthropology and interdisciplinary studies increasingly define the widening scope of research that must be undertaken for proper economic policy and development to have sound underpinnings. Over the past 50 years PIDE has earned an international reputation and recognition for its research. Our faculty is rich and our advisory committee consists of world renowned economists such as Nobel Laureate Robert A. Mundell. PIDE is located at the Quaid-i-Azam University Campus in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The campus rests against the backdrop of the Margalla hills on the Potohar Plateau, within a short distance of the remains of Taxila, which once housed the world's oldest university. Archaeological remains discovered in this area show that it has been a center of civilization for some 5,000 years. The Institute, neighbor to several other academic outfits situated in this historic and scenic part of the green foothills of the great South Asian mountain ranges, is the hub of economic and social science research in this part of the world.

The Neolithic Revolution created the idea of social class. Though the Neolithic social classes were most likely less extensive there was still division between those who controlled the food and others who were beneath them. These social classes were only possible because everyone was no longer required to gather food, and could begin specializing their jobs to create tools or other items. These social classes only grew with society and still exist today, as a result of people being able to gather wealth.

The Rainforest is, to me, the most threatened by ecological change. Nearly half the rainforest in the world has been destroyed, regardless that it provides half the worlds oxygen and has the most biological diversity compared to any other biome. It is destroyed for cattle use, lumber, or farming; eventually this will no longer be sustainable because the rainforest does not have time to recover. There is already so much empty space in the world that the continued destruction of the rainforest simply to make pastures seems frustratingly pointless.

I almost always go for Crash Course because they are not only really good at presenting complicated topics in a simply way but making sure that it's entertaining as well. They make sure that it is quick and to the point, so they don't waste any of your time. They also provide visual aids that are actually helpful, instead of just filler.

Farming I believe is the biggest connector between society and the environment for plants. Farming is the only way that the world's large population is able to be fed, so the plants grown are definitely important to society. Farming also has a large effect on the environment, with the incredible amount of change needed for and to become arable. I chose this picture to show that, that to grow these plants society has invented machines and chemicals that have also effected the environment that that society lives in.
