Irish farm subdivision - Irish farm subdivision Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish tenant farm holdings underwent a cultural tradition of sub-division, whereby the tenant's land was divided equally between all the sons, both legitimate and illegitimate, on his death. The result was that by the 1840s, many farms had become so small that the only food source that could be grown in sufficient quantity to feed a family was potatoes. This was to have disastrous effects when, in the period 1847-49 potato blight struck, making much of the potatoes grown inedible. This period came to be known as the Great Famine and cost the lives of well over half a million people. Subsequently, a change in the law required that the tenancy go to only one legitimate son..

It was a concession, with penalties--not the least of which was, most probably, a dramatically decreased life expectancy (see Gen. 6:3). (Noah's great-grandfather, Methuselah, is famously reported as having lived an amazing 969 years, prior to the dawn of God-authorized human meat-eating.) In Chinese societies, "simple eating" (素食 su4shi2) refers to a particular restricted diet associated with Taoist monks, and sometimes practiced by members of the general population during Taoist festivals. It is referred to by the English word "vegetarian;" however, though it rejects meat, eggs and milk, this diet does include oysters and oyster products. Fructarians (more.

Kettlebaston - over 200 at its peak), to the point when the village was on the brink of extinction. By the 1960s, with the road no more than an unmade track, and no electricity or mains water supplies, (it still has no gas or main drains), Kettlebaston was barely standing.

Klamath County, Oregon - summer of 2001, the water resources for this project have been insufficient to meet both wildlife and farming needs, and the local rainfall has been insufficient. The Bureau of Land Management concluded that the language of the Endangered Species Act gave priority use of water to the sucker fish of the Klamath Lakes and the wild salmon of the Klamath River, and cut off water deliveries to 1,400 farmers of the Klamath Project. This resulted in numerous demonstrations and farm-related bankrupcies. In the following summer, there was once again insufficient water for both irrigation and wildlife. The Bush administration ruled that farmers would this time receive preference for water use. As a result, the temperature of the Klamath River water greatly increased, leading to the deaths of 32,000 salmon, affecting commercial.
