What is the difference between permanent field cultivation and shifting cultivation?
Permanent field cultivation involves the continuous cultivation of the same piece of land over a long period of time, using methods such as irrigation and fertilization to maintain soil fertility. This type of cultivation is typically practiced in areas with stable and predictable environmental conditions. On the other hand, shifting cultivation involves the clearing of small plots of land for cultivation, which are then abandoned after a few years to allow the land to regenerate. This method is often used in areas with poor soil quality or where environmental conditions are less predictable. Shifting cultivation is also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, as the cleared land is often burned to prepare it for planting.

What is greenhouse cultivation?
Greenhouse cultivation is a method of growing plants in a controlled environment within a structure made of transparent material, such as glass or plastic. This structure allows sunlight to enter and trap heat, creating a warm and stable climate for the plants. Greenhouse cultivation provides protection from extreme weather conditions, pests, and diseases, and allows for year-round production of crops. It also enables growers to control factors such as temperature, humidity, and light to optimize plant growth and yield.

What are rice cultivation areas?
Rice cultivation areas are regions where rice is grown as a primary crop. These areas typically have specific climatic and soil conditions that are suitable for rice cultivation. Rice cultivation areas can vary in size from small family farms to large commercial operations, and they play a crucial role in providing food security for many countries around the world. Additionally, these areas often have a long history of rice cultivation and may have developed unique farming practices and traditions related to growing rice.

Can you explain shifting cultivation?
Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional farming method in which farmers clear a plot of land by cutting and burning the vegetation. The ashes from the burned vegetation provide nutrients to the soil, allowing farmers to grow crops for a few years before moving on to a new plot of land. This method is sustainable when practiced in a way that allows the land to regenerate, but it can lead to deforestation and soil degradation if not managed properly. Shifting cultivation is often practiced by indigenous communities in tropical regions around the world.

Digital Media Influence : A Cultivation Approach
Populism, misogyny, rampage murders. Digital media seem to lie at the heart of sinister, intractable social challenges.Curiously, the very societies who fear such things are often dismissive of media research.Addressing key issues affecting global media industries, this book explains how to solve the present conundrum by appreciating the historical development of cultivation theory. Digital Media Influence ties cultivation themes, such as mean world syndrome, mainstreaming, the celebration of white male violence, the ridiculing of ageing women, the inhibition of activism, the mediatisation of religion and the erosion of trust in education, with contemporary digital media case studies.Considering the aftermath of the Parkland murders, political memes, Islamophobia, the fate of female reality TV stars and the bad press directed at media education, Ruddock shows how these phenomena are born of media practices that cultivation theory began to dissect in the 1950s. Paying close attention to the life and work of George Gerbner, Digital Media Influence locates today’s questions in the historical forces and relationships that moved media industries closer to the heart of global politics in the mid-20th century.It makes Gerbner’s work relevant to all critical media researchers by providing a theoretical, methodological and historical steer for understanding new media influences.In explaining how one of the world’s leading media theories developed in relation to intriguing historical circumstances – many of them deeply personal – this book helps researchers of all levels to find their voice in writing on media issues.

Sustainable Cacao Cultivation in Latin America
This book examines cacao cultivation with a view to improving the sustainable management and production of this crop. Theobroma cacao is an important species originating in the Ecuadorian Amazon and its product chocolate is consumed worldwide.Cacao cultivation is an industry supporting over ten million people, and so it is vitally important, in this changing climate, that the species is properly and sustainably managed and cultivated.This book brings together a wide range of experts from across the globe to examine cacao cultivation, from the basic aspects of reproduction, genetic improvement, nutrition and pest management, to agroforestry, industrialization and marketing in a global food system.Case studies are drawn from across Latin America, but the research reflects the nature of a crop that is cultivated in over 60 countries and processed, manufactured and consumed worldwide. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of agronomy, sustainable agriculture, and crop science.

Feminist Politics, Intersectionality and Knowledge Cultivation
In Feminist Politics, Intersectionality and Knowledge Cultivation, Radhika Govinda engages with intersectionality – as critical theory, as critical methodology and as critical pedagogy – to make sense of feminist politics in India and beyond, and knowledge-making on feminist politics, as such.In doing so, she makes a case for theory-making, conducting empirical research and classroom teaching to be understood as integral parts of knowledge cultivation, each feeding into the other.Differently put, the book encapsulates Govinda’s engagement, spanning fifteen years and four case studies, exploring what insights an intersectional lens throws up, and how these insights complicate our understandings of marginality, privilege and solidarity in the field of women’s and gender studies, in feminist classrooms, in women’s and social movements, in particular NGO-led feminist activism, state-led development initiatives and digital feminist campaigns, and in everyday social relations in rural and urban spaces.Uncovering, interrogating and disrupting the politics of coloniality and feminist complicity is an important running thread in the book.Through a reflexive account of her own location and practice in the academy at the cusp of the global north and the global south, Govinda highlights the importance of being attentive to intersectional positionality and to the contextual specificities of engaging in feminist politics and knowledge-making in the age of global neoliberalism.

What is a shifting cultivation?
Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional farming method in which a plot of land is cleared and cultivated for a few years, then abandoned and allowed to revert to its natural state while the farmer moves on to a new plot. The cleared land is typically burned to clear away the vegetation and provide nutrients for the soil. This method is often practiced by indigenous communities in tropical regions and is sustainable when done in moderation, allowing the land to regenerate during the fallow period. However, overuse of shifting cultivation can lead to deforestation and soil degradation.
