Food security in the context of energy and resource depletion: Sustainable agriculture in developing countries
Food insecurity remains high in most of sub-Saharan African. That insecurity is made even more acute by the increasing scarcity and degradation of natural resources. Low soil fertility is a consistent problem faced by agriculturalists and herders. The dominant international thrust to increase food production has been to stimulate trade, enhanced by technology and its transfer. While internation...
متن کاملFormal models of "resource depletion".
The opportunity cost model (OCM) aims to explain various phenomena, among which the finding that performance degrades if executive functions are used repeatedly ("resource depletion"). We argue that an OCM account of resource depletion requires two unlikely assumptions, and we discuss an alternative that does not require these assumptions. This alternative model describes the interplay between ...

متن کاملDiscarded appendicularian houses as sources of food, surface habitats, and particulate organic matter in planktonic environments
Observations using SCUBA reveal that macroscopic organic aggregates produced by appendicularians reached densities of 44 to 1,130 m-’ in the Gulf of California. Though these aggregates constituted less than 5% of total particulate carbon, their carbon : nitrogen ratio was twice that of particles in the surrounding seawater. The C : N ratio of the total particulate matter increased directly with...
متن کاملResource depletion through primate stone technology
Tool use has allowed humans to become one of the most successful species. However, tool-assisted foraging has also pushed many of our prey species to extinction or endangerment, a technology-driven process thought to be uniquely human. Here, we demonstrate that tool-assisted foraging on shellfish by long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand, reduces ...
