Red soils develop in a warm‚ temperate‚ wet climate under deciduous forests and have thin organic and mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on red layer made of iron oxide(ferric oxide). Red soils generally form from iron-rich sediments. They are usually poor growing soils‚ low in nutrients and humus and difficult to cultivate. These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid‚ organic matter

great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people.

of these crops. Industrial farming is destroying our land and poisoning the people who eat the food produced by this method‚ biological farming is a safer and healthier alternative that is environmentally friendly. First‚ industrial farming is destroying our land by over processing the soil and robbing it of vital nutrients. Monocropping causes a number of negative environmental impacts. Soil deterioration results from the common practice of not rotating crops in monoculture farming. Crop rotation

modified crops have been developed to improve yield‚ through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides. The WHO also adds that‚ GM could be used in changing the level of nutrients in food and limit its potential to cause allergic reactions whilst improving food production systems. It however cautions that these GM products should be examined and analysed before being released for commercialization. GM crops are therefore resistant
