Critiquing the one of the most “successful” operations in India seems to be the motto of Shanti George in this ground-breaking book of its time, Operation Flood. Ms. George surely has not taken the easier way out while putting this book together. It takes a marvellous amount of courage to assess an operation so humongous which often got positive reactions from most of the world and the mainstream development discourse during the time of its publication. She has in this publication, busted myths with plausible explanations that even the best of the promoters of the White Revolution cannot deny and this is what makes the book charming. In this 1985 book Shanti George leaves no stone unturned to describe the Milk Revolution of India that was …show more content…
She has added to this discourse of development by not agreeing with the Operation Flood model. This is the reason I feel that the author has made the dairy development discourse holistic. She has shown the shortcomings of this model and clear reasons why this model had brought more destruction that positives. This book should be used by future dairy experts to help chart out he future models of development in this area. She connects much of the writing with NC Wrights papers and has agreed with several of his suggestions to improve the dairy industry in India. She has dedicated one entire chapter towards justifying this position of hers. NC Wrights recommendations were based in the colonial era of India and this can be one reason why the newly independent state on India refused to take up the recommendations. She has stated that Wrights observations are exist till date. She agrees with NC Wright’s policies and recommendations on the process and the processing procedure of Dairy expansion in India, the stakeholders of dairy co-operators and on policies of other similar industries or allied industries. Wright’s idea to cater to the local markets effectively is something the author agrees with. Just like Wright might have felt about Amul the author expresses that the standardisation of the Operation might spill failure like it did. The author has brought about the traditional gendered aspects of the division of labour which has changed
Dairy farmers should make sure their businesses are in the right shape to seize the opportunities
The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, run by general manager John Meek, aims to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through an accurate, rapid, and cost effective milk testing service. Milk testing is an essential herd management component for all dairy processors as it measures the amount, quality and contents of the dairy products. Supply management agencies limit milk production; thus, profit is maximized through acquiring premiums from quality dairy with high levels of protein and butter fat as opposed to mass production and distribution. The dairy herd is the largest source of revenue for farmers, data from milk testing helps maximize milk production as farmers
The role of females (regardless of loyalties) shifted dramatically from household partners to that of logisticians, medical and intelligence. While we are provided the details of camp followers and sutlers which have been part of military life since time immemorial, women took on various roles that were not explicitly conceived of in the
In 1990, there were over 9300 dairy farms in Ontario housing almost 450,000 cows. The farm-gate value of milk produced exceeded 1.3 billion dollars. At the retail level, dairy product sales in Ontario exceeded 4 billion dollars. The number of dairy herds in Ontario on a milk-testing program had declined from about 7100 in 1985 to 6000 in 1990. Moreover, a continued decrease was projected.
Even though some Indian children are still “defeated” (Page, 14) many are filled with an “arrogant wonder” (Page, 14). The expectations that Alexie and his classmates were given have been overturned but there is still some work to be done, and that he sees as his purpose, he is making an effort to “save their lives.” (Page,
The article, Famine, Affluence, and Morality by Peter Singer highlights the death and suffering that occurred in East Bengal in 1971 due to lack of food, shelter, and medical care (Singer 231). The author points out that poverty, civil war, and a cyclone all combined to make the situation worse for about nine million people inhabiting the area at the time, but if the richer nations came in and provided assistance, further suffering would have been alleviated. This essay provides an argument as to why famine victims should be given aid and explains how doing so affects our understanding of the distinction between charity and duty. It also offers a critique of Singer’s argument based on John Arthur’s idea of “just deserts” from his article entitled Famine relief and the Ideal Moral Code.
Understanding the different agricultural sectors practice in Wisconsin is crucial in understanding how the drought affected the ebonies of scale. Farming practiced can be broadly placed under two categories; Livestock farming and Crop farming. The relationship between the two levels of farming, can affect one sector in terms of productivity. To illustrate this, the production of short corn dropped by 17%, this translates to 90 million bushels. Short corn is fed on milk producing livestock such as cows and so the overall implication is that milk production would be lower than the previous years (Boyes and Micheal 45).
The war marked a watershed in the history of women at work, and temporarily at least, caused a greater change in women's economic status than half a century of feminist rhetoric and agitation had been able to achieve. (125)
William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” is a well versed rendition of the post-Civil War era, about the lives of a family of poor tenant farmers. This story’s setting is in a fictional (yet almost familiar) county in Mississippi, and is told through the eyes of a young boy. In a detached sort of tone, Faulkner takes us step by step through the ups and downs of Abner’s moods, and how his youngest son, Sarty, perceives them. Here is the thesis statement: However, it is Faulkner’s style, tone, and use of long, flowing sentences, that most stand out to the reader. .
Gender and work exist sociologically as a way to maintain both authority and inequality. Women’s roles throughout history shed a light on the expectations and stereotypes that exist today; however, navigating a gendered economy and overcoming sex segregation continues to be a challenging task for most women. Wages continue to be uneven, and wives continue to bear most of the child rearing and domestic responsibilities despite increasingly working the same amount as their husbands do. Becoming educated on these inequalities and viewing them with a sociological perspective will allow people to see gender and work in an accurate light and continue to develop
Canada 's dairy sector operates under a supply management system based on planned domestic production, supervised pricing and strict controls on dairy product imports. The system was adopted for industrial milk in the early 1970s to address the unstable prices, uncertain supplies and fluctuating producers and processor revenues which were common in the 1950s and 1960s. By enforcing this system, farmers attempt to strike the most accurate balance between supply and demand of dairy products (Canadian Dairy Commission, 2010).
In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, he teaches readers that humans can become inevitably corrupt when given unlimited power. The satire and allegory of The Russian Revolution, helps readers understand the harsh events that were happening during this period in history. Power has the ability to change the mentality and attitude of humans and in this case animals. When power fills one it can affect their ideas of right and wrong and their morals. In the beginning of the novel Mr. Jones the owner of Manor Farm was accused by the animals of treating them poorly.
The powered milk became such a commodity that the local produce dairy farms couldn’t sell their milk. A memorable scene in the film was when the dairy farmers had to spill out all their surplus milk that was only a days worth to make room for new milk since it wasn’t being consumed. A dairy farm used to produce 3,000 quarts per day and after America subsidized the milk industry, dairy farms were producing only about 600 liters. Dairy farmers were run out of their businesses and it’s sad to say but some dairy farmers were forced to convert to butchering their cows in order to make profit (Black).
The other thing that we should consider before using dairy products is from the ethical point of view. Drinking cow’s milk or consuming any dairy product is equal to torturing thousands of cows, due to changing their nature and way of living in order to make them useable for ourselves. It has become evident that milk is not the only source and product that we can reach vitamins, proteins and calcium from, in fact there are many natural and healthy products that we can reach out those factors that we are looking for it in milk, for instance fruits. Contrary to common belief, people should stop consuming milk because it is unhealthy, unnatural and unethical.
The Enlightenment, otherwise called the Age of Reason, was a philosophical development that occurred essentially in Europe and, later, in North America, amid the late seventeenth and mid eighteenth century. Its members thought they were lighting up human acumen and culture after the "dim" Middle Ages. Attributes of the Enlightenment incorporate the ascent of ideas, for example, reason, freedom and the logical technique. Edification logic was distrustful of religion particularly the intense Catholic Church governments and genetic nobility. Edification theory was compelling in introducing the French and American transformations and constitutions. Edification savants were for the most part contradicted to the Catholic Church and composed religion
