I think that change is important for survival. The first farm we visited was the organic farm at Neo Tiew road. The owner was an old woman with a nice voice. All the crops that she planted were completely organic and she did not use any chemicals or fertilizers. Instead of chemicals, to fertilize the plants she used animal droppings(which according to her had no smell) to provide her crops with sufficient nutrients. However, she was being affected negatively in many ways because she refused to use Any other means other than organic methods to grow her crops. Firstly, it was extremely hard for her to keep away the pests which were eating her crops, resulting in some of her crops being badly damaged. However, she said that this would attract more predators to eat the pests, that would also help to plants and carry seeds of her crops. Also, she claimed that leaves with holes were better to eat. One of the major negative impacts on her farm was that the neighboring farms all sprayed insecticide and anti-pest chemicals on their plants. However, she did not, resulting in all the pests from the other farms moving to her farm. This is how her reluctance to change has affected her negatively.
Next, we visited the Hydroponics farm. It was an extremely Hi-tech farm and their methods, although consumed more energy, were more efficient than that of the Hydroponics farm. They use Macro and Micro Nutrients in water and fertilized the plants with these through pipes. They were able to produce 1000kg of crops ready for sale at NTUC every day. We were brought around the farm by a guy. He showed us the different types of plants they produced like the Basil leaf that could be used for Italen cusene and also the lavender( which sold not be exposed to growing boys because they might grow...) the tour was absolutely...exhilarating and thrilling!
The hydroponics farm was able to do well economically because of their willingness to adapt to their surroundings and change, and use hi-tech methods of farming. They were able to prosper with prosperity and fortune.
Although the museum tour is not very related to my topic, I utterly enjoyed the intricately detailed stone sculptures in the museum. They were fascinating. It was incredible how the artists were able to sculpture such realistic looking hair out of stone and marble.
Therefore, change is essential for survival.
