My interpretation is that it means if you live in a village everyone will know you, but you will not know much about the rest of the world.  If you live in a city, no one will know you, but you may know a lot about the world.  An interesting perspective, but not necessarily totally true in my opinion.

Check for the optimum texture and pH for the grass.\n\n\nFor the amoeba,i guess it is contractile vacuole.

The plough.  \n\nNo plough means no agriculture, no surplus food, no urban life, no artisans, no geometry, no language, no government, no sciences.\n\nNo *nothing* without the plough.  We'd still be gatherer/hunter nomads in Africa saying "Ugh!" and worshipping rocks.\n\nThe second greatest invention was Gutenberg's printing press.

Seems to me that a farmer has three potential options with a piece of land:\nHe can grow a food crop.\nGrow a non-food crop that he can sell for cash e.g. tobacco or cotton (I think that's probably the distinction that the question is trying to make)\nUse his land for some other non-agricultural use e.g leave it fallow, build a theme park.\n\nSo the question is asking what the impact of growing too many of these non-food cash crops might be.\n\nI won't do your whole project for you, but these are the areas I think you should be visiting.\n\nEconomic impact\nWhat will happen when a lot of perhaps one particular cash crop is grown.\nSupply and demand suggests prices will fall\nMaybe balance of payments will improve if you can export\nMaybe foreign investment will come in to exploit the local availability.\nMaybe other industries will grow up to exploit the cash crop (think textiles or cigarettes).\nWhat will happen to the price of food though? Increase?\nWill you need to import more?\nIs famine a possibility?\nIf you are relying principally on one or two cash crops to generate income to spend on food imports what happens if the crop fails?\nThere are positive and negative impacts.\n\nEnvironmentally\nSo what happens if large areas of forest are removed to provide new fields for cash crops?\nWhat about the impact of large tracts of land given over to one crop.  We may be talking dust bowl here.\nWhat if the crop requires intensive farming methods - high use of fertiliser and pesticide.\n\nPolitically and socially\nWhat are the impacts of being a net importer of food?  Particularly if this means the difference between the nation starving or not.\nWhat about the extra cash coming in?  It could be spent on education, infrastructure.\nWhat happens to the Government the next election after a famine?\n\n5. Traditionally governments have used various methods:\nSubsidy: Give the farmer extra cash for producing certain crops.  Look up EEC common agricultural policy.\nTaxation: Tax the farmer for producing the crops you don't want.\nTrade barriers: Put import tariffs on the crops they want grown in the country.  Prices rise and more farmers are encouraged to grow the crops.\nQuota: Not so much in the western world, but certainly the case in the old Eastern Bloc - simply dictate to the farmer what he can grow.\n\nHope this helps

At one point in time humans ate grass and the appendix actually produced chemicals needed to digest grass. But now it has no function.

because its not talking about birds...\n\nmost likely (this is open to debate) it refers to the middle ages when using a scythe or sickle to shear and cut wheat et al was how you did things, so, in my thinking, you could get an area cleares with one swipe (swoop) of the blade, the wheat falling (fell) to the ground.

Grass always looks better on the other side of the fence.  Glad you decided to stay in your yard.  The other side had alot of manure in it.

It most likely refers to a player changing his game to play better on a different surface. For example, a clay-courter who wants to win Wimbledon would want to work on improving his volley. A grass-courter looking to win the French open would look to improve his fitness and the consistency of his groundstrokes.

Mudslides(flows can be helped and are caused from \nlack of plants,roots ,brush,trees ect on the sides of hills.With the escavation and creation of new\nhousing ect and for the clean hillside look.The\nimportance of the undergrowth of grass ,trees ect \nhave been depleted and not replaced.They have \nprograms for beaches and hillsides,even in foreign\ncountries that realise the importance of root and plant systems in hillside lands.The winding and \nweb patterned root systems of these plants,trees\nacts like a "net" and the plants themselves and erosion barrier.
