The document provides an example case study on the topic of coffee production and deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. It outlines the problem of thousands of acres of rainforest being burned to grow coffee trees. It then summarizes key points from several websites that were researched on this topic, finding that vast amounts of primary forest have been cleared for coffee cultivation, leading to rampant deforestation and impacts to wildlife habitats and migration routes. Potential solutions discussed include crop rotation, replanting forests, and promoting conservation and shade-grown coffee methods to help reduce environmental impacts.

A case study is an in-depth investigation of an individual subject. Case studies can be done on any subject or topic

Because this unit is about Latin America and specifically the environment of Latin America, each of you are going to do a case study on an environmental issue in the Amazon Rain Forest (The largest Rain Forest on the planet)

BUT WAIT!!! We don’t know how to do a case study!!!!!!! That is perfectly ok, because I am about to show you an example of one…

Coffee Production and Deforestation in the Amazon PROBLEM: Thousands of acres of Amazon Rain Forest are being burned in order to grow coffee trees

Once you’ve stated the problem/issue you can begin to research the issue Here are some websites I used to research my topic on Coffee in the Amazon.

Rainforest Alliance http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/agriculture.cfm?id =coffee Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

Rainforest Alliance Key Points Coffee is farmed on about (30 million acres) worldwide (The size of England) Only 1.3% of that coffee produced is RA certified For 150 years, coffee was farmed under the canopy of the rain forest on natural trees, Now is grown on under-the-sun plants in monocultural farms. Deforestation is rampant

TheAtlantic.com http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99aug/9908ecocoffee.htm Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

Key Points from TheAtlantic.com Technified coffee is vastly produced Natural coffee tastes better and is better for the environment Coffee can be grown without disturbing any of the rain forest vegetation Bird migration routes are being altered by the deforestation More chemicals are required for sun trees

Iracambi http://www.iracambi.com/english/research_papers/deforestation_coffee_cultivation_abstract.shtml Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

Key Points on Iracambi Within the first century of coffee cultivation, some 7,200 km2 of primary forest were cleared for coffee cultivation (Dean 1995) Crop-rotation could help with the forest devastation New forests are being planted in plains to recover what has been lost

World Wildlife Fund http://www.panda.org/about_wwf/what_we_do/policy/agriculture_environment/commodities/coffee/environmental_impacts/index.cfm Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

Key Points from the WWF Of the 50 countries in the world with the highest deforestation rates from 1990 to 1995, 37 were coffee producers Full-sun coffee plantations support 90% fewer bird species than shade-grown coffee.

Key Point #1 Vast amounts of rain forest (and the shade coffee trees in them) are being cut down in order for sun coffee trees to be grown and harvested more quickly

Key Point #2 By cutting down the shade coffee trees, the primary rain forest must be cut down as well and this primary forest cannot recover back to it’s original state for years and years

Key Point #3 The life of sun coffee trees is significantly shorter making shade trees the more healthy solution even though not the quickest method More animal and plant life exists in and around the shade trees Shade coffee trees live longer Large amounts of pesticides and herbicides are required to help sun coffee trees survive and these end up in the waterways

Conclusion Deforestation and its side effects are a direct result that cannot be avoided during the cultivation of the sun coffee trees Wildlife/Nature agencies are finally beginning to act in an effort to protect vital rain forest land Methods of conservation are being, and should be explored in order to protect some of the most diverse, and vital plant and animal life on the planet

What is SWOT Analysis ?

Mahmudul Hasan

SWOT analysis is a strategic planning technique used to evaluate an organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It involves identifying internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats in order to develop strategies. A SWOT analysis guides identification of positives and negatives inside and outside an organization. It helps with strategic planning and decision making. Production management is the process of combining resources to transform them into value-added products or services through planning, organizing, and controlling according to organizational policies. Lean production aims to eliminate waste through continuous improvement and pursuing perfection in order to develop high quality products and services at low cost and with short lead times while respecting people and the environment.

Learning ( organisational behaviour)

JYOTI CHADHA

Learning involves a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge as a result of experience. There are several theories that explain how learning occurs, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, cognitive learning, and social learning. For learning to be effective, trainees must be motivated, the information must be meaningful, learning must be reinforced through feedback, and material should be well-organized. Managers can shape employee behavior using reinforcement strategies like positive reinforcement to increase desirable behaviors and punishment or extinction to reduce undesirable behaviors.

Decision making ppt

ashgrover

This document provides guidance on making decisions through a 7 step process. It uses the example of a person named Amy who wants a new cell phone that costs more than she has saved. The 7 steps are: 1) Relax 2) Say something positive 3) Identify the problem 4) Consider choices 5) Weigh consequences 6) Prioritize what's important 7) Make the decision. For Amy, the document outlines her choices, consequences, and recommends waiting to save more money as the best option based on her priorities.

Kelley’s theory of attribution

SAM MATHEW

Kelley's theory of attribution proposes that people attribute behaviors to either internal/dispositional factors or external/situational factors based on three dimensions: consensus (whether others react the same way), consistency (whether the behavior is consistent over time), and distinctiveness (whether the behavior occurs in multiple situations). According to the theory, behaviors with high consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness are more likely to be attributed to internal factors, while behaviors with low consensus, consistency, or distinctiveness are more likely to be attributed to external factors. The theory has some drawbacks in that people do not always carefully analyze behaviors and the dimensions require multiple observations to assess.

Groups are a collection of people who interact and share a common identity. They form for reasons like goal achievement and need satisfaction. Groups have characteristics like norms, roles, hierarchy, and composition. Forming teams allows pooling of talents to achieve shared objectives. The key differences between groups and teams are that teams have mutually agreed and clearly defined interests and skills while groups have diverse backgrounds and contributions. An example of a high performing team is the Indian cricket team, while departments in organizations are examples of groups.

Presentation brainstorming

atia03

Brainstorming is a technique where a group or individual gathers ideas spontaneously to find a conclusion for a specific problem. There are two types: individual brainstorming where one person brainstorms alone, and group brainstorming where developing ideas in depth with others. Effective group brainstorming requires having a clear objective, recording all ideas without criticism or interruptions. Brainstorming encourages creative thinking and participation but works best with a focused group and facilitator.

Sachin Udhani

The TOWS matrix is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats involved in a business venture or project. It involves listing key internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) and generating strategies. There are four types of strategies: SO (utilizing strengths to take advantage of opportunities), WO (overcoming weaknesses by taking advantage of opportunities), ST (using strengths to avoid threats), and WT (minimizing weaknesses and avoiding threats). The TOWS matrix helps identify relationships among these factors to guide strategic decision-making.

Interception of Photosynthetically Active on Cocoa Plantations in Mexico

Agriculture Journal IJOEAR

Abstract— The cocoa or cacao tree (Theobroma cacao L.) requires shade to efficiently perform its physiological processes. The objectives of this study were to characterize the shading on cocoa plantations in the Chontalpa region of Tabasco to generate possible pruning and phytosanitary control recommendations, and to measure the PAR in three strata of the cocoa agroecosystems to determine the shade percentage and the amount of PAR intercepted by shade and cocoa trees in the sampled plots. PAR was measured in units of µmol/m2/s using a ceptometer. PAR readings were taken on sunny days in three vertical strata, namely the upper, middle and lower parts, and an average of five readings per stratum were considered for plantations with 1 to 10 acres, and 25 to 30 readings per stratum for plantations greater than 10 hectares. The results for the plantations studied indicate that on average 49.1% of the PAR reaches the cocoa plants and only 10.3% reaches the soil surface. The PAR used by cocoa averaged 620 µmol/cm2/s, which represent only 38.9% of the total incident radiation. The PAR measured in the middle and lower strata of the cocoa plantations has a negative logarithmic effect on the shade percentage and is a reliable indicator for estimating the shade percentage in cocoa plantations. There is a direct relationship between the intercepted PAR or shade percentage and the pruning practices performed by the producer on the cocoa plantations.

Rainforests are forests found in tropical regions that receive a large amount of rainfall. They contain a high amount of biodiversity and provide many important ecosystem services. However, rainforests are disappearing rapidly due to human activities like agriculture, cattle ranching, and palm oil production. If deforestation continues at the current rate, the world's rainforests could be lost in just 40 years.

The tropical rainforests are rapidly disappearing, being destroyed at a rate of 80,000 acres per day, and now only covering 5% of the Earth's land. This is problematic as it leads to species extinction and loss of important ecosystem services. However, there are solutions that can help save the rainforests, such as teaching others about their importance, restoring damaged ecosystems, encouraging sustainable lifestyles, establishing protected areas, supporting environmentally-friendly companies, increasing agricultural productivity on existing lands, developing ecotourism, and reducing/reusing/recycling resources.

Introduction rainforests

Jaden Spitznagle

Tropical rainforests are located near the equator where temperatures are warm. They receive over 100 inches of rain annually, which allows dense vegetation to thrive. Rainforests have four layers - the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer - each providing habitat for different plant and animal species. More than half of all plant and animal species live in rainforests. Rainforests play an important role in regulating Earth's climate and temperature, and provide resources like wood, paper, medicines and food including bananas, oranges and chocolate. However, rainforests are disappearing rapidly due to land conversion and deforestation, threatening biodiversity and climate stability.

Case Studies Power Point

1. Case Studies What is a Case Study?

2. A case study is an in-depth investigation of an individual subject. Case studies can be done on any subject or topic

3. Because this unit is about Latin America and specifically the environment of Latin America, each of you are going to do a case study on an environmental issue in the Amazon Rain Forest (The largest Rain Forest on the planet)

4. BUT WAIT!!! We don’t know how to do a case study!!!!!!! That is perfectly ok, because I am about to show you an example of one…

5. CASE STUDY EXAMPLE

6. Coffee Production and Deforestation in the Amazon PROBLEM: Thousands of acres of Amazon Rain Forest are being burned in order to grow coffee trees

7. Once you’ve stated the problem/issue you can begin to research the issue Here are some websites I used to research my topic on Coffee in the Amazon.

8. Rainforest Alliance http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/agriculture.cfm?id =coffee Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

9. Rainforest Alliance Key Points Coffee is farmed on about (30 million acres) worldwide (The size of England) Only 1.3% of that coffee produced is RA certified For 150 years, coffee was farmed under the canopy of the rain forest on natural trees, Now is grown on under-the-sun plants in monocultural farms. Deforestation is rampant

10. TheAtlantic.com http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99aug/9908ecocoffee.htm Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

11. Key Points from TheAtlantic.com Technified coffee is vastly produced Natural coffee tastes better and is better for the environment Coffee can be grown without disturbing any of the rain forest vegetation Bird migration routes are being altered by the deforestation More chemicals are required for sun trees

12. Iracambi http://www.iracambi.com/english/research_papers/deforestation_coffee_cultivation_abstract.shtml Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

13. Key Points on Iracambi Within the first century of coffee cultivation, some 7,200 km2 of primary forest were cleared for coffee cultivation (Dean 1995) Crop-rotation could help with the forest devastation New forests are being planted in plains to recover what has been lost

14. World Wildlife Fund http://www.panda.org/about_wwf/what_we_do/policy/agriculture_environment/commodities/coffee/environmental_impacts/index.cfm Take 3-5 minutes to access this website and scan some of the information

15. Key Points from the WWF Of the 50 countries in the world with the highest deforestation rates from 1990 to 1995, 37 were coffee producers Full-sun coffee plantations support 90% fewer bird species than shade-grown coffee.

16. Key Point #1 Vast amounts of rain forest (and the shade coffee trees in them) are being cut down in order for sun coffee trees to be grown and harvested more quickly

17. Key Point #2 By cutting down the shade coffee trees, the primary rain forest must be cut down as well and this primary forest cannot recover back to it’s original state for years and years

18. Key Point #3 The life of sun coffee trees is significantly shorter making shade trees the more healthy solution even though not the quickest method More animal and plant life exists in and around the shade trees Shade coffee trees live longer Large amounts of pesticides and herbicides are required to help sun coffee trees survive and these end up in the waterways

19. Conclusion Deforestation and its side effects are a direct result that cannot be avoided during the cultivation of the sun coffee trees Wildlife/Nature agencies are finally beginning to act in an effort to protect vital rain forest land Methods of conservation are being, and should be explored in order to protect some of the most diverse, and vital plant and animal life on the planet
