Green Movement

Introduction

The green revolution refers to a major transformation in agricultural practices in the developing world based on a specific technological and institutional package, including high-yielding variety seeds (HYV's), fertilizers, and irrigation. The package parallels industrial agricultural practices that developed in the United States after World War II. Western institutions began promoting the package aggressively in the mid-1960's as an answer to the developing world's accelerating population growth and mounting hunger problem. They also viewed the Green Revolution package as a means to foster capitalist economic development and to solidify their ties to developing countries in the context of the cold war. Although the package continues to spread today, the most transformative period was around 1966-1972.

Boomsters parallel the onward and upward worldview, believing that as capital wealth accumulates, countries can afford better pollution control measures, leaving the work of environmental repair in the hands of scientists and governments. 5 Doomsters parallel the polar view describing the coming environmental hell in graphic detail, they scare their audience with dreadful prophecies, then promise salvation through conversion to a new ecological worldview, yet doomsters lack a true shift to this “new ecological worldview” failing to embrace possible evolutionary scenarios, and instead employ a sense of fatalistic environmental disaster.

Initially, the Green Revolution focused on just two crops: wheat and rice. The most important trait that was bred into an HYV was dwarfism. Dwarfs that are well fertilized and irrigated focus their energy on the growth of their seeds and produce strong stems to support the additional grain. The HYV's are only high yielding, however, if they receive the correct amount of fertilizers, irrigation, and weeding. The technology must be supported by four critical institutional resources: an irrigation infrastructure; a financial system to help farmers purchase the seeds, fertilizers, equipment, water, and labor inputs in advance; a transportation and marketing infrastructure to connect farmers with input sellers and grain buyers; and an educational system to teach farmers the management techniques.

Economic policy despite its dynamism cannot be an element of design experiment but clear in the objectives of raising growth development, which enables a decent life for Ecuadorians.

Most people associate GPS tracking systems with turn-by-turn directions but fail to see the correlation between one of these systems and the green movement. Fleet businesses introduce a large amount of green house gases (GHG) into our environment every day. By taking strides to reduce those emissions, fleet based companies can make the air we breathe cleaner and healthier for us all.

A comprehensive GPS fleet tracking solution not only provides drivers with the most direct and efficient route from point A to point B, they help companies significantly reduce fuel waste. Here are just a few ways a GPS fleet tracking system can help a fleet company run a more eco-friendly operation.

The diversity of stances on green movements makes a unitary definition problematic. For present purposes, however, green movements are collective actors engaged simultaneously in conflictual contestation and cooperative capacity building informed by ecological and ...
