Sustainable Food Production : An Earth Institute Sustainability Primer
Industrial agriculture is responsible for widespread environmental degradation and undermines the pursuit of human well-being.With a projected global population of 10 billion by 2050, it is urgent for humanity to achieve a more sustainable approach to farming and food systems. This concise text offers an overview of the key issues in sustainable food production for all readers interested in the ecology and environmental impacts of agriculture.It details the ecological foundations of farming and food systems, showing how knowledge from the natural and social sciences can be used to create sustainable alternatives to the industrial production methods used today.Beginning with a discussion of the role of agriculture in human development, the primer examines how twentieth-century farming methods are environmentally and socially unsustainable, contributing to global change and perpetuating inequalities.The authors explain the principles of environmental sustainability and explore how these principles can be put into practice in agrifood systems.They emphasize the importance of human well-being and insist on the centrality of social and environmental equity and justice. Sustainable Food Production is a compelling guide to how we can improve our ability to feed each other today and preserve the ability of our planet to do so tomorrow.Appropriate for a range of courses in the natural and social sciences, it provides a comprehensive yet accessible framework for achieving agricultural sustainability in the Anthropocene.

Incomputable Earth : Technology and the Anthropocene Hypothesis
Looking afresh at the Anthropocene, this open access volume investigates how the capitalist engineering of the earth is not only accelerating, but is doing so in parallel with the expansion of digital technological systems, including so-called ‘artificial intelligence’. Against the backdrop of new regimes of data positivism, algorithmic classification and prediction, and even the emergence of unexpected forms of collective intelligence, Incomputable Earth addresses the crucial need to rethink the meaning and inter-relationality of such terms as ‘extraction’, ‘computation’, and ‘planetarity’.Beyond the theory, it also asks what cognitive and political capacities we need to grapple with the implications of this parallel intensification of datafication and the Anthropocene.Examining new forms of subjectivity and resistance, this timely volume tackles a range of urgent topics, from the racialized politics of climate change to feminist ecologies and planetary financialization. In an original, hybrid format that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of these debates, Incomputable Earth is made up of scholarly essays, striking artistic contributions, and a glossary of emerging concepts in the humanities.Bringing together international scholars, artists, grassroots collectives, and environmental organisations, this is a vital intervention into the past, present, and future of computation and its inescapable impact upon our social, political, and planetary life. This book emerges from the artistic research project “The Incomputable—Art in the Age of Algorithms,” instigated at the Institute for Contemporary Art, Graz University of Technology, and funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport, and the Styrian Provincial Government Department of Economy, Tourism, Science and Research. This book is available open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.It is funded by The Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

How can one convert acceleration to Earth acceleration?
To convert acceleration to Earth acceleration, one can use the formula: Earth acceleration = acceleration / 9.81 m/s^2. This formula is derived from the fact that Earth's gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. By dividing the given acceleration value by 9.81 m/s^2, one can determine how many times greater or smaller the acceleration is compared to Earth's gravitational acceleration. This conversion is useful for comparing accelerations in different contexts to the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth.
-
What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences?
The Earth experiences an acceleration due to the gravitational force exerted by the Sun. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, and it is the same acceleration experienced by any object in free fall near the Earth's surface. This acceleration causes objects to fall towards the Earth at a constant rate, and it is a fundamental factor in the study of mechanics and the behavior of objects in the Earth's gravitational field.
-
Why does acceleration depend on where you are on Earth?
Acceleration depends on where you are on Earth because the acceleration due to gravity varies slightly depending on your distance from the center of the Earth. This is due to the Earth's shape not being a perfect sphere and its rotation. The acceleration due to gravity is slightly stronger at the poles and weaker at the equator. Therefore, your acceleration will be slightly different depending on your location on Earth.
-
How is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth calculated?
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is calculated using the formula: \( g = \frac{F}{m} \), where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, \( F \) is the force of gravity acting on an object, and \( m \) is the mass of the object. The force of gravity is calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation: \( F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \), where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects (in this case, the object and Earth), and \( r \) is the distance between the centers of the two objects. By substituting the force of gravity into the first formula, we can calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.

What is the gravitational acceleration 500 km above the Earth?
The gravitational acceleration 500 km above the Earth is approximately 9.1 m/s^2. This value is slightly less than the standard gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface, which is about 9.8 m/s^2. The decrease in gravitational acceleration with altitude is due to the inverse square law, which states that the force of gravity weakens with distance from the center of the Earth.
-
How do you calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth can be calculated using the formula: \( g = \frac{F}{m} \), where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, \( F \) is the force of gravity acting on an object, and \( m \) is the mass of the object. On Earth, the standard value for the acceleration due to gravity is approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). This value is commonly used in physics calculations and experiments.
-
Is the acceleration due to gravity the same everywhere on Earth?
No, the acceleration due to gravity is not the same everywhere on Earth. It varies slightly depending on factors such as altitude, latitude, and local geology. Generally, the acceleration due to gravity is slightly stronger at the poles and weaker at the equator due to the Earth's rotation. Additionally, variations in the density of the Earth's crust can also cause slight differences in gravity acceleration in different locations.
-
Where on Earth does a body experience the greatest gravitational acceleration?
The body experiences the greatest gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth, particularly at the poles. This is because the Earth's gravitational force is strongest at its surface, and it is slightly stronger at the poles than at the equator due to the Earth's oblate shape. At the poles, the distance from the center of the Earth is slightly shorter than at the equator, resulting in a slightly stronger gravitational pull. Therefore, a body at the surface of the Earth, especially at the poles, experiences the greatest gravitational acceleration.
