Each year, farmers in Africa and Asia sell most of their crops (e.g. rice, corn), but save a small amount to grow the next year. Now, a US company has developed a new plant gene called the Terminator. If a plant has this gene, it produces seeds which won’t grow again after the first year. This means the farmers must buy new seeds every year. This is good for the company’s profits. But pressure groups like Greenpeace say this is irresponsible. They say that it kills the natural plants and means farmers have to get their seeds from the company. If farmers can’t afford to buy the company’s seeds, they will have no crops to grow. The result could be that people die from hunger.

All crops require nutrients and water to grow. Soil supplies most of the nutrients. It also stores the water that the crops need. Crops differ, however, in the amount of nutrients and water they require for healthy growth. A farmer must therefore make sure that the soil and water resources meet the needs of each crop. A farmer must also plan measures to control pests, which could damage or ruin a crop. Most farmers plan their methods of soil and water management and of pest control well in advance of the growing season.

In the past, cacao farmers in Brazil grew trees on small farms in the rain forests. Then they decided that they could grow more trees and make more money if they had bigger farms. To make space for the farms, farmers often cut down parts of the rain forest. However, farmers soon realized that cacao trees that are planted on farms in the open get too much sun. They are not as healthy as trees that grow in the forest, protected from the sun by shade of the larger trees.
