Bakery: Agriculturally Based Manufacturing Industry
$135.00
Because of the fame of the art of baking, around 300 BC, baking was introduced as an occupation and respectable profession for Romans. Bakers began to prepare bread at home in an oven, using mills to grind grain into flour for their bread. The demand for baked goods persisted, and the first bakers' guild was established in 168 BC in Rome. The desire for baked goods promoted baking throughout Europe and expanded into eastern parts of Asia. Bakers started baking bread and other goods at home and selling them on the streets. Baked goods have been around for thousands of years. The art of baking was developed early during the Roman Empire. It was a highly famous art as Roman citizens loved baked goods and demanded them frequently for important occasions such as feasts and weddings.

Organic Gardening And Farming Techniques
$135.00
Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972. Organic agriculture can be defined as "an integrated farming system that strives for sustainability, the enhancement of soil fertility and biological diversity while, with rare exceptions, prohibiting synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, and growth hormones".

Green Revolution
$135.00
Green Revolution, the great increase in the production of food grains that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.

Agriculture And The Environment
$135.00
The environmental impact of agriculture is the effect that different farming practices have on the ecosystems around them, and how those effects can be traced back to those practices. The environmental impact of agriculture varies widely based on practices employed by farmers and by the scale of the practice. Farming communities that try to reduce environmental impacts by modifying their practices will adopt sustainable agriculture practices. The negative impact of agriculture is an old issue that remains a concern even as experts design innovative means to reduce destruction and enhance eco- fficiency.

Agricultural Production
$135.00
Agricultural production has always involved the exploitation of resources such as soil, water, and energy. Increasing production to feed a growing world population while at the same time conserving resources for future generations has led to a search for ‘sustainable’ agricultural methods. Farm managers must take a long-term view when making decisions about which technologies to follow and what commodities to produce while still generating sufficient profits in the short run to earn a living. Farm managers must also be aware of possible trends in climatic conditions, and learn how to adapt their production methods accordingly.

Agricultural Soil Science
$135.00
Prior to the development of pedology in the 19th century, agricultural soil science was the only branch of soil science. The bias of early soil science toward viewing soils only in terms of their agricultural potential continues to define the soil science profession in both academic and popular settings as of 2006.

Agricultural Technology
$135.00
A major turning point for agricultural technology is the Industrial Revolution, which introduced agricultural machinery to mechanize the labor of agriculture, greatly increasing farm worker productivity. In modern mechanized agriculture powered machinery has replaced many farm jobs formerly carried out by manual labor or by working animals such as oxen, horses, and mules. Advances in the 19th century included the development of modern weather forecasting and the invention of barbed wire. Improvements to portable engines and threshing machines led to their widespread adoption.
