what are the advantages of practicing agriculture in  settlements which have less than 1 g of gravity?

i would assume it would have something to do with not having to stake plants up, etc..they would grow straighter, because their fruits, branches, etc would not weigh them down as much.  i.e. tomatoes would not have to be staked up but would naturally grow straighter and keep their fruit off the ground.

if the point is big the gravity don't effect it much but if it is small gravity will effect it i forgot the whole explanation though \n\nyou could try this link

there are many advantages of genetically modefied food\n1. they are easy to be produced\n2. they are nutritious.\n3. they need less labour.\n4. they take less time to grow.\n5. they produce high yield.\nbut they have some disadvantages\n1. they need lot of water for irrigation which makes it hard to be grown in areas where less water is available.\n2.they absorb a lot of nutritions from the soil and makes it barren.

Advantages: Improved crop yield with better nutrition of the food, curing diseases, preventing diseases.\n\nDisadvantages: For crops, the economic reality is that we produce too much food as it is.  America has an ENORMOUS amount of surplus food. Better nutrition? Nice idea but farmers want to grow more, not better.

Often agriculture is seen as the real root of civilisation. That is right if we mean that urban culture is the measure and quality. But there is also culture in societies of hunters, gatherer, fishermen, herds and so on. If culture is a question of voting urban cultures always win. If it is a question of quality and sustainability rural cultures win. Still real agriculture is only 100 to 200 years of age. Before that the methods were the same far back to the beginning of agriculture.\n\nThe map of culture and agriculture of the past would be very different from today and even from my childhood in the forties. Then 80 - 90 % of people were living in the countryside. Now it is the other way around that people live in cities. Farther back before the land hunger in 19th century agriculture used the best places in nature without much of draining water in the planned way. The local climate was harder and wetter and naturally agriculture was risky.\n\nThen it was the best and secure way to live in villages being like collectives since it was a way of life to share and help each other. With feudalism and kingdoms the nobility wanted to share by taxation and the kings preferred individual owners as tax objects, while feudal masters wanted slaves but mostly got tenants. It was a process of thousands of year and with different pace depending on landscape and climate.\n\nAgriculture came in waves and looks sometimes as short mission while gathering, hunting and keeping animals were the secure and traditional ways of living. We do not see much of rituals showing the traditional industries including mineralogy and metallurgy that also cultivate earth. Once agriculture become stable the population increased and gave the base for bigger villages and more of specialised workers. For long it was the big farms and nobility that kept specialists.\n\nThe cattle people settled in the best places near a well but higher than wet and misty meadows and we sufficient wind for the draw. Many of our place names have an ending that tells about milking place or some kind of coral for keeping the animals during the night. They suppose that change of climate during Iron Age forced people to keep the animals indoors and harvest hey and leaf for the winter.\n\nCattle-people or mainly cattle-breeders needed normally 25 - 50 square kilometres for a settlement that used the nature for all materials needed in household. A measure of the width was that a young girl should drive a heifer from sunrise to sunset around the land they claimed. That was the practical measure that a settlement should be able to get their animals home for night.\n\nIt is inevitable that they looked also for hunting possibilities; fishing water; a place for the cabbage garden; hey meadow and perhaps a little cornfield giving the beer. We have to understand that kind of folklands before the time of planned villages that came with kings and taxation. Before that it seem s to have been collective villages of farmers and others with noble traders producing things for sale besides their agriculture.\n\nAgriculture would need much smaller space but could not live without all the raw materials they needed from nature. Still effective agriculture could feed cities.\n\nThis is naturally about the conditions on Dal when I tell about the mediaeval order until 17th century:

I suggest you build an anti-gravity lifter device that is able to float in the air without anything supporting it.\n\nhttp://www.amazing1.com/grav.htm

It decreases to 1/4 of the original force.  This is because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between the two bodies.  Thus, increasing distance by a factor of n reduces force to 1/n^2.

Gravity exerts a slightly less force at higher altitudes, even though it is almost non-existent.  If you were to weigh yourself at sea level and then again on top of Mt. Everest, you would weigh less on top of the mountain.  (Again, very, very, very little change).

greater input for lesser ouput?\nmechanical advantage?\n\nyou would rather have a small input to produce a much greater output...\nthat's advantage...

you could fly to remote places and land in a small area of space, no run-way or lake required. Or not even land but hoover and lower/raise people/items.

use the universal law of gravitation to find the force of gravity at the inner radius.  Use 1kg as your second mass (mass is irrelevent in this next part anyways), and use this force to find the accel of gravity.  Using the force and accel of gravity, you can find the kinetic energy needed in order to overcome the potential gravity of the planet (m cancels).  with kinetic energy you can find velocity, and with velocity and radius, period.  Hope that helps.\n\nfor the second part, repeat, except with the outer radius as D.

Some advantages are reduced need for pesticides because the crops are grown to resist infestation (e.g. BT corn- resistant to corn borers). Crops can also be modified to have higher nutritional value. There are endless possibilities. There is also research being done on edible vaccines (which would be easier to administer to large populations in a short period of time, especially children), as well as other medical applications and treatments including cancer prevention and treatment. \n\nAs a point of interest, you might want to note that all banana's sold in north america are genetically modified and have been for decades (not sure of exact date).\n\nIf you want to know more about the Canadian governments' views on GM food and products here is the web site I used for a school project last month. It may also give you other ideas on where to find more information.\n\nhttp://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/sci/biotech/gen/queste.shtml#env

Any particular land owners you're thinking about?  In general the main advantage of owning land is that you can build stuff on it.

No, the earth is plenty used to tides, besides a solar eclipse has no extra gravitational effects.

Is growing fairly easy and is no sensitive with the elements. I believe there is used also the beans and peas also (not quite sure).\nDfriend:)

Fields, in the classical theory, are a great place to plant corn.  Or wheat.  Vegetables do great in fields, if they are properly watered and fertilized.\n\nMaxwell's equations show the equivalence of different kinds of fields, which means you could theoretically plant corn where you had wheat last year.  \n\nIf the farmer is a musician and brings his instrument on his tractor while he plants, you will have harmonica motion.  If his son is also on the John Deere playing is instrument at the same time, you'll have a coupla harmonicas in motion.  \n\nI once knew a generator mechanic, in the Army.  He was pretty good; could fix the little 500 watt generators, all the way up to 20 kw models.  He never made general, though.
