Staple foods are mostly produced by the
farmers in developing countries such as Asian and African countries. Wheat,
rice, maize, cocoa, coffee, potato, sugar and so on. Have you ever thought “who
grows what?” the farmers in these countries are forced to concentrate on few
varieties of crops, but it led to a serious result. They could get few benefit
from monocropping because the term they could cultivate crops was limited, it
led to slack in product quality control. The author emphasized the importance
of switching to intercropping(mixed cropping) in developing countries in this
chapter.
I felt happy because your book taught me a lot of things that I didn't know. So I'm looking forward to reading your summary.
返信削除I think it is important for us to know who grows what we ate. Recently,in Japan, the false ingredients label problem was very big news. We have to care that for our health.
