Mathematics and Agriculture


Participants will explore the difference between the Food Producing and the Food Importing Countries of the world and its effects on their economies. Variables that can improve production in some countries: Seasons and duration, Measurement of growth in relation to time. Recording of activities. How we can improve the economies and reduce the cost of food in the less developed countries? And, how can we reduce cost of food in communities and families? Through the project, students will become aware of the possibility of a career in agriculture, the effects of food shortages in the world, effects of famine, and will understand the use of more locally produced crops (Less chemicals). Likewise, we hope to see an Increase in home gardening to reduce food bill of family.
