evolution of food supply in the recent past Since human kind started practicing agriculture, there has been a constant evolution of food systems. The evolution has been manifested in production, storage and consumption. The  strive to satify  quality and quantity of food with the ever changing climate and cuture has been the key contributing factor to this evolution .  food production governance has become complex day by day due to continuous restructuring so as meet humans demands.This paper explore  the evolution of food supply in the recent past. Food supplies has gradually  been slowed down by  changing climates, resource degradation diseases and rapid population growth. Despite  these strong forces acting against food production, mankind has embraced science and technology to counter react and anable sufficient food supply.This has led to adoption of genetical modification of food (GM).Genetically  modified foods are obtained from genetically modified organisms. The organism can be an animal, insect, microorganism or a plant.Genetically modified organisms have specific DNA sequences due to artificial or natural manipulation of their genomes.Only  selected genes are  transferred to the genetically modified organisms…

Using game theory to identify and assess the risks of General Motors             The game theory could be an effective strategy in dealing with a risk. A renowned organization like General Motors will convert its traditional fuel-based vehicle line into an electric-based vehicle line. It is a significant transformation and requires the right approach. Game theory mainly involves identifying the effect of a decision on two important parties connected with the business. They are customers and employees. Customers will influence the decision-making process of the management. The company will consider the probable impact on customers after they have transformed their business from traditional line to modern electric business line. In this game, the customers are a major player as their preferences and needs would determine the ultimate sales and performance of electric vehicles (Wilks & Zimbelman, 2004). The second players are the employees. Hence, the response of the employees or second player to the choices of the first player or customers will determine the success rate of EVs. In this competitive market, without the effort and collaboration of employees, General…

Closing the Water Demand-Supply Gap in Arizona The supply of water is dependent on the available water resources provided by nature, the conditions and locations the natural sources are found, and the amount of water available in reservoir storage. Demand, on the other hand, is driven by population and increase of uses. And their efficiency and also the location of these uses. The Arizona population has steadily experienced growth from 2.7 million to 6.6 million in 1980-2009, with even an increase of economic resulting from increases in the use of water (Eden et al.). The population is expected to grow with water demand expected to increase through at varying degrees in a different location. Some places in Arizona currently experience water shortage while efforts to improve water storage are undergoing in other areas. However, the economic, legal, and political factors influence these efforts, some encouraging and others contributing to widening the gap. The water demand and supply Gap has seen various efforts being put in place to address the situation. Causes The increase in population has caused stress on the…

The pair between the British pound and Euro The pair between the British pound and Euro represents a relationship between the two largest economies in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the Eurozone. The duo has economic interdependence and closeness between the two; therefore, it is less volatile than other pound and Euro. Inflation rate and the interest rate has various effects on the currency. Discussion A relatively high inflation rate in the United Kingdom reduces the value of the British pound. The high inflation in the United Kingdom causes an increase in the price of goods in the UK than in European products. Moreover, the UK commodities are less competitive, lowering the demand for export goods and hence less need for the British pound. The rate of buying the Euro increases, therefore, increase in supply for British pounds, thus decrease in the value of the British pound. The inflation in Britain pound depreciates its value against the Euro pound. In the long run, variation in relative inflation rates causes a change in the foreign exchange rates (Subbarao & KR, 2017).…

Sustainable Renewable Energy Production and Consumption Task One The industrial sector consumes a larger percentage of the national grid power consumption. For example, Nikoobakht et al (2018) agree that in 2017 about one-third of energy consumption in the United States was used by industries. This is due to the increased demand for production and manufacturing in the industries whereby some of the heavy machinery, which consume huge amounts of power, run for longer durations. However, most of the industries such as Rotork Controls rely on oil, coal, and natural gas as their sources of energy hence having a great negative impact on climate change due to the excessive release of Green House Gases into the atmosphere (Stigka et al, 2014). Some of the pollutants generated include Sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides which end up boosting the depletion of the ozone layer. Moreover, hazardous metals such as chromium, lead, mercury, and beryllium are released in the process of generating electricity during the burning of fossil fuels. Due to the looming danger of climate change, Rotork Controls is in the…

Why Companies adopted Lean Thinking and JIT model? Just in time, production is a model that states that firms should stock little inventory and the sufficient amount required for production and distribution. This model is associated with Japanese management techniques. This principle means that a manufacturer should receive raw materials and supplies from the suppliers just in time to be used for production. This is concerning the time the raw materials are received. The output is supposed to be shipped to the customers quickly and fast after it has been manufactured to prevent lagging and delays. In an organization, just in time production is aimed at reducing waste and maximizing costs in the organization. It also helps the organization secure a competitive advantage over other organizations. It is important to note that this type of production requires additional conditions for it to be successful. These include; short set up and change over time, quality control, and designing of the whole production process. All these factors are aimed at maximizing efficiency and improving the functionality of the organization. Lean manufacturing, on…

importance of the statistical analysis process in its ability to convert the primary data into easy-to-understand results This chapter will be presented the importance of the statistical analysis process in its ability to convert the primary data into easy-to-understand results, as the statistical analyst adopts many methods and methods for displaying the data as well as analyzing it in the required image using both the tools and statistical methods necessary to obtain accurate and understandable results. Given the importance of the statistical analysis program in research studies that rely on the statistical side to find its outputs, it can be said that the Statistical Analysis Program (SAP) is one of the most important and most popular statistical programs used for quantitative data analysis, in addition to that it works to encode and prepare data in order to reach results Scientific correct required to answer the questions and hypotheses of the study. The stages of quantitative analysis of variables are divided into three stages 4.1- Descriptive statistics Descriptive statistics provide brief information on survey participants ’data, Frequency Percent Male 74 55.6…
