Author argued that the emergence of transnational crises and threats such as the avian flu epidemic and climate change call for new ways of analysing news. "...the concept of global journalism is under theoretical development and still in need of a more stringent definition."
Author suggests that it may be time to drop the term "precision agriculture" because farmers are much more precise than ever before. "When does a technology become mainstream?"
Aerial photographs of farms over time (1939, 1962, 1968 and 1995 in this case example) help reveal reasons for yield variability and help guide farmers in making decisions.
