Food and Agriculture Scientist

 A food scientist studies the good and bad from processing foods by using microbiology, engineering, and chemistry. The nutrition is looked at through seeing how the products coming a long and how it will be processed. They look for new nutritional food sources and investigate avenues for making processed foods taste good, safe, and healthy. On top of making sure the food is healthy and good enough to be put out on shelfs they try and find the best ways to sell. They look at the view points from shoppers and they also try and find ways to preserve food that might be out for a long period of time. The scientist help the farmers out a lot by figuring out ways to get there products distributed.

    I think this is nothing that really is surprising to me that they do this. Almost everything we eat was not in it's original size or presentation it was in the past/beginning or it never even existed and they made the food from a lab. It's always very interesting to hear about how they are changing our foods that are not supposed to be changed such as the veggies and fruits we eat now. But hey if they can help strawberries last more than four days in the fridge by all means do so as long as it's a safe way lol.

    I think people such as food and agriculture scientists are such an important people. It is a known fact there are such chemicals and GMOS in our food nowadays so it is such a reassuring them to know that someone at least looks into the food before it gets distributed to stores and restaurants. I also think the preservation of foods is also a really cool thing because some food does rot really quickly even if its being refrigerated.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
