ग्लोबल वार्मिंग और खाद्य आपूर्ति

  ग्लोबल वार्मिंग पृथ्वी की सतह का दीर्घकालिक ताप है जो पूर्व-औद्योगिक काल (1850 और 1900 के बीच) से मानवीय गतिविधियों, मुख्य रूप से जीवाश्म ईंधन जलने के कारण देखा गया है, जो पृथ्वी के वायुमंडल में गर्मी-फैलाने वाले ग्रीनहाउस गैस के स्तर को बढ़ाता है। ग्लोबल वार्मिंग का मतलब केवल गर्मी के मौसम में ज्यादा तापमान ही नहीं है. बल्कि इससे पूरे साल भर के मौसम में बदलाव आने के साथ सूखा, बाढ़, भीषण ग्रीष्म लहरें जैसी चरम मौसमी घटनाएं भी देखने को मिलती हैं. इस तरह से जलवायु में समग्र बदलाव को जलवायु परिवर्तन के नाम से जाना जाता है जिसका ग्लोबल वार्मिंग केवल एक पहलू मात्र है. लेकिन इनके नतीजे बड़े व्यापक है और इनमें से एक है और एक बड़ा असर है हमारी खाद्य आपूर्ति पर असर. नए अध्ययन में बताया गया है कि जलवायु परिवर्तन के कारण दुनिया में वैश्विक खाद्य आपूर्ति साथ ही गेहूं उत्पादन के पर भी बहुत ज्यादा विपरीत असर पड़ेगा. टफ्ट्स यूनिवर्सिटी के फ्रीडमैन स्कूल ऑफ न्यूट्रिशन साइंस एंड पॉलिसी में किए गए एक अध्ययन के कारण इस समस्या ने ध्यान आकर्षित किया है। विश्लेषण से यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि इस बात की अधिक

Heatflation

  Economists and Environment experts have termed the rise in food prices associated with extremely high temperatures as 'heatflation'. Several occurrences of heat waves this year wreaked havoc across the globe. Greece, France, Spain, and Portugal recorded temperatures well beyond 40oC this summer. These high temperatures sparked wildfires, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate their homes. Heat waves in India throughout April and May affected the health and economy of the country. The July heat waves in Italy resulted in droughts in many parts of the country. The drought is threatening nearly 40% of the country’s summer harvests of rice and corn. In China, a record-breaking heat wave is melting roofs, causing residents to take refuge in underground cooling zones. China’s Meteorological Observatory warned that the high temperatures could destroy the country’s soy and corn production. China primarily uses soy and corn to feed pigs, the country’s staple meat. With a shortage of t

                                                             Types of production systems Types of Production Systems  A production manager will have to choose the most appropriate method for his enterprise. The final decision regarding any particular method of production is very much affecting by the nature of the products and the quantity to produce. The types of Production Systems are grouped under two categories viz .,  Intermittent production system , and  Continuous production system . Continuous System or Flow System “Continuous flow production situations are those where the facilities are standardized as to routings and flow since inputs are standardized. Therefore a standard set of processes and sequences of the process can be adopted.” Thus continuous or flow production refers to the manufacturing of large quantities of a single or at most a very few varieties of products with a standard set of processes and sequences. The mass production is carried on continuously
