Question 1

The Green Revolution

Answer 1

Shift in agriculture away from small, family-operated farms to large, industrial-scale agribusiness

Question 2

what do they start to increase to use in the green rev?

Answer 2

Increased use of mechanization, GMOs, irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides

Question 3

advantage of the green rev

Answer 3

1. increases the profit and efficiency of farming and food supplies
2. Decreased world hunger and
3. increased earth’s carrying capacity

Question 4

disadv of the green rev

Answer 4

1. soil erosion (remove of topsoil by wind, rain, human activity)
2. biodiversity loss
3. ground & surface water contamination, bad for humans

Question 5

Mechanization

Answer 5

The use of machines to perform farming tasks, increasing efficiency and productivity.

Question 6

adv of mechanization

Answer 6

can increase profits and efficiency for farms

Question 7

disadv of mechanization

Answer 7

1. Increases reliance on fossil fuels (gasoline/diesel fuel) ,climate change
2. 무거워서 soil compact해서 decreasing HO2 holding capacity

Question 8

High-Yield Variety (HYV)

Answer 8

modified crops that have higher yield(생산량), Hybrid (plant 두개 짝짓기), GMO (plant에다가 gene을 합친다, new gene in genome)

Question 9

GMOs

Answer 9

Genetically Modified Organisms are organisms whose DNA has been altered for specific traits, like pest resistance or higher yields.

Question 10

adv of GMOs

Answer 10

plants lost to drought, disease, or pests yield/acre

Question 11

disadv of GMOs

Answer 11

다 똑같아서 less BIODIVERSITY, easily 공격당해(susceptibility) to diseases or pest(벌레)

Question 12

Synthetic (인조) Fertilizer

Answer 12

man-made chemical fertilizer designed to supply essential nutrients like nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P), and potassium(K) to plants, promoting growth and increasing agricultural yields.

Question 13

adv of synthetic fertilizer

Answer 13

Increases yield and profits with more key nutrients needed for plant growth (N, P, K) added to the soil

Question 14

disadv of synthetic fertilizer

Answer 14

excess of N P K can washed off to rivers that causes eutrophication
+ need FF to produce releasing CO2 increase temp

Question 15

Irrigation (관개 /인공적인 물 발사)

Answer 15

Drawing water from the ground or nearby surface waters and distributing it on fields to increase plant growth

Question 16

adv of irrigation

Answer 16

비가 오지 않은 지역에 물을 공급할수있다

Question 17

disadv of irrigation

Answer 17

1. to much water can drown roots, so they don’t have space for O2,
2. also cause soil salinization (increase salt level in soil) 물안에 소금이 있는데, 안에 잇는 물이 나중에 증발하면 소금밖에 없다

Question 18

Pesticides

Answer 18

chemicals used to kill or control pests, such as insects, weeds, fungi, or rodents, to protect crops and improve yields.

Question 19

adv of pesticides

Answer 19

+ Increases yield and profits with fewer plants lost to pests

Question 20

disadv of pesticides

Answer 20

Can wash off crops in runoff and kill or harm non-target species in local soil or waters (bees especially) / 농작물에 뿌린 농약이 빗물이나 관개수와 함께 씻겨 내려가며, 주변의 토양이나 물로 유입될 수 있다는 뜻입니다. 물도 오염하고, 물에 사는 물고기, 식물을 먹는 다른 동물이 죽을수도
