Plants are used to make modern medicine. Plants also go through a process called photosynthesis and that turns carbon dioxide into oxygen. ecause of this we are able to breath and live our lives.

Plants need food but they do not have to wait on people or animals to provide for them. Most plants are able to make their own food whenever they need it. This is done using light and the process is called photosynthesis.

Moss does not have any true roots or leaves. They are non-vascular meaning they cannot transport fluids throughout their body. They very short, small plants because they lack true plant tissues and structures.]]> 2017-02-19 12:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmit110/c3vob11z6vb8/wish/154791217 ksmit110 https://padlet.com/ksmit110/c3vob11z6vb8/wish/157380304 Indigenous temperate grasslands are one of the world's great biomes, occupying ~8% of the earth's surface. However after cradling human needs for centuries they are the most endangered, the most altered and yet the least protected biome on the planet. Only 3.4% of the world's temperategrasslands are protected.]]> 2017-03-02 16:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ksmit110/c3vob11z6vb8/wish/157380304 ksmit110 https://padlet.com/ksmit110/c3vob11z6vb8/wish/160167299 Climate – food availability in high in geographic locations with little seasonal change whereas food availability in geographic locations that had seasons fluctuated (i.e. “seasonal stress”); growing crops increased availability and decreased human migration – Migration – humans had to move to locations where food was available; growing crops decreased the needs to migrate – Storage – humans did not have means to store food; once humans developed the means to store crops, they no longer had to migrate

It was an international effort that was planned to eliminate hunger by improving crop performances. This plan provided new practices that allowed farmers to produce more of the same product within the same amount of land. This meant that the farmers could get more out of their land than they used to. This rapid diffusion of more productive agriculture techniques occurred throughout the 1970s and the 1980s. The plan had two main practices: the introduction of newer higher-yield seeds and the expanded use of fertilizers. This would lead to the increase of the agricultural productivity at a global scale, which increased faster than population growth. The Green Revolution answered questions from experts about massive global famine.

Future farms is wired up like a lab rat. Or, to be more accurate, it is wirelessed up. Moisture sensors planted throughout the nut groves keep track of what is going on in the soil. They send their results to a computer in the cloud (the network of servers that does an increasing amount of the world’s heavy-duty computing) to be crunched. The results are passed back to the farm’s irrigation system—a grid of drip tapes (hoses with holes punched in them) that are filled by pumps.
