hey all! :Dokokokokok. here they are pple! haha. THE GEOG THING! i shall add yiyun's one later coz ya. i didnt come to this blog for quite some time so i didnt see her tag the tagboard there. haha. she hasnt sent it to me yet! ;D hurry yy! Negative impacts of HYV seeds
1. need to buy and increase the usage of HYV seed and inputs, like water and chemicals > becomes expansive as many people buys it > poor farmers have not enough money so they have to borrow > banks do not want to loan them the money because they are too poor and afraid that they will not be able to pay up their loan > so they turn to moneylenders > cannot repay moneylenders because of high interest and prices of rice drops due to green revolution as there is competition > becomes in debt > land gets taken away > loss of land > gets stuck in poverty cycle > go to cities in search of jobs > live in slums
2. mono-cultivation of HYV increase susceptibility of rice crops to pest > pests will affect crops > due to the small variety > more crops killed by pests > economy goes down
3. diseases, e.g water baffaloes get mouth disease and lose their hooves > needs to be treated > may be hospitalized > money is spent > poverty cycle starts again
Pesticides
1. more pests killed > better crops
2. leads to water pollution > marine ecosystem is affected negatively > fish and mussels die > less food for sale and consumption
3. threats to humans > may be killed if inhaled
4. cost of production increase > farmers cant afford > borrow money > cant pay back > loss of land > get poorer / enter poverty cycle
5. chemical industry boom > demand for pesticides increase > more job opportunities
6. efficiency of production increase > more output > higher cost revenue > more money for development
7. pests become more resistant > have to develop stronger pesticides > effects are stronger because of humid conditions
8. farmers do not use protective gears > poses a threat to his life
9. toxic harvests > may harm consumers > more deaths
10. plant becomes reliant on the pesticides > becomes weaker > nutritional value decreases
Drainage system and irrigation
1. supply of water throughout > water can be channeled to crops during dry seasons > more output
2. regulate and control the flow of water > controls amount of flooding > less efficient> less manual labour > more labour used for other purposes > increase the efficiency of growing crops > shorter time taken for harvest >start next harvest earlier > increase output > increase money for investment for farming and expenses
> systematic transport of water to plants
3. too much money spent > less money spent on other developments on the farm > more capital needed > farmer has not enough money
Use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides
1. kills organisms in field > less items to sell such as fishes > fields become less fertile due to the absence of waste from fishes > less output > less income
2. better chemical industry > economy increases
3. disease and deaths of animals e.g water buffaloes > loss of animals for ploughing > efficiency decreases
Use of machinery
1. more efficient > shorter time for processing
> multiple cropping > more output > more export > more surplus > more income > higher SOL
> better engineering industry > higher employment rate > higher income > higher SOL
> triple cropping which will increase productivity and output > less time for fallowing the fertility of soil > less output > less income
2. spend more money on capital > less money for others e.g daily necessities > lower SOL
3. less workers needed > less job opportunities > less income > lower SOL > move to slums > more diseases spread > more deaths > unhappy with the government > do not give support > POL affected
4. emit harmful gases e.g carbon dioxide > air pollution > health decreases + cannot good grow crops + less flora and fauna > lower output > less money
5. use of natural resources e.g coal for machinery > more job opportunities + demand goes up > cost of coal increases + better industry > better economy
Fertilisers
1. use of fertilizers > buffalos feed on the grass tinted with fertilizers > they have mouth diseases and their hooves fall off > eventually die > less labour
2. more fertilizers > increase in companies producing fertilizers > more jobs > higher income > higher SOL
3. more fertilizers > higher demand for fertilizer producing companies > more sale > higher income > country’s revenue increase > more money available for development
4. excessive use of fertilizers > throughflow contaminated with fertilizers > enter water bodies > water contaminated > people who drink it falls ill > smaller population
5. excessive use of fertilizers > throughflow contaminated with fertilizers > enter water bodies>water contaminated > animals who drink the water/marine life die > ecosystem affected
6. high demand for food > farmers did not allow fallowing of land > higher output ASAP > natural nutrients decrease over time
okiees. i still need yiyun's grp!!! xD
i helped revive the blog too! :D haha.
hows the hols mann pple?
