AGRIBUSINESS
Identifying sustainability challenges report Due date 3rdAugust 2017.
Description Choose one region of the country (eg. Waikato), and one industry (eg. dairy farming).
Recommended that you do a search for information for this case study before deciding on it to ensure you have enough information for this assignment.
Conduct a problem identification analysis, to identify sustainability problems in the Dairy Farming, in the Waikato region. You are to identify the sustainability problems and their potential causes. The report should be structured as follows:
environmental and social issues (global and local); challenges for the industry (environmental,social and economic); on farm challenges.
Reference appropriate academic, industry, NGO and government sources.
Expectations: Approximately 1500 words Times New Roman 12 point, 2x line space, default margins (approx. 2.54 cm).
IT will be marked on:
– Clear argument that identifies a range of sustainability challenges and their potential causes. You do not need an exhaustive list of all sustainability challenges, but you do need to cover a range of them at all levels (global to local and on farm) and types (environmental, economic, social).
– Clear use of a range of appropriate supporting evidence. This must include some academic, industry, NGO and/or government sources. It can also be from informal sources, such as a dairy farmer or researcher at Beef and Lamb NZ. You must present a range of source, not just a single report or person/group.
– Original thought that builds on the presented evidence, rather than just repeats it, will contribute to a higher grade.
– Marks will be deducted for being substantially over 1500 words (eg 300 or 400 words over, not including reference list).
– Correct use of grammar and spelling will ensure marks are not deducted for issues with clarity and professionalism of presentation.

Suggested dissertation template for systematic review studies
Getting the structure of your dissertation right is a tricky but extremely important task. There is no ‘one’ right way to structuring a dissertation thesis as the structure will vary depending on your research topic and what you are trying to achieve. Please make sure that you discuss and plan the structure of your thesis with your supervisor as he/she will be best placed to support you with this. The following provides an example of one way you may want to structure your dissertation (systematic review studies only).
In total your dissertationmust be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. It should be written in a clear standard font type (usually Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri font), size 12, with 1.5 lines spacing, and 2.54 cm margins space (top, bottom, left and right margins).Please note that your title page, contents page, abstract, tables, figures, diagrams, references and appendices do not count towards your word limit.
Title page
The must include the name of the unit, the title of your dissertation, the date and your full name (with your student number), and the name of your degree title (please use the phrase ‘Submitted in part fulfilment for the award of…’ (title of your award/degree))
Acknowledgements (optional)
You can list the people who have helped you, ensuring that you use correct titles, names and qualifications (if these are necessary). You should exercise care in making reference to individuals if they have supplied confidential, contentious or embarrassing information or opinions.
Contents page
Be sure to provide page numbers for the different sections and sub-sections (do this last). It is usual for material preceding the contents page to be numbered in Roman numerals, with the remainder using Arabic numerals. A list of figures and tables (if used) should be given on a separate page. These should be consecutively numbered in the text. Again, you may find it easier to number them at the end of the writing process, especially if you have quite a few. Please number sections and sub-sections.
Abstract (250-350 words)
Your abstract should aim to succinctly summarise key background literature, your rationale, aims, methods, findings, conclusions and implications.
Chapter 1: Introduction (approximately 1000-2000 words)
– Succinctly and explicitly state what study you are proposing to carry out
– Provide key background literature. You should try to take a ‘funnel’ approach to describing and critically evaluating key background literature to your study. This involves starting with general and broadly relevant literature, then progressively citing literature which is more and more specific, and finally by providing literature which is most specifically relevant to your study
– Provide an explicit and convincing rationale as to why this study is important to carry out. State what the possible implications your proposed study might have, and what contribution it adds to the existing body of knowledge in this area. Your rationale should be at least partially based on the background literature that you have introduced.
– Clearly state your research question(s), research aim(s) and study objective(s),you’re your study hypotheses (if you have any)
Chapter 2: Literature review (approximately 4000-5000 words)
– This chapter needs very careful planning. Before you start writing it, you should discuss with your supervisor what the best way of structuring this chapter should be, and what content should be prioritised for it.
– The overall aim of this chapter is to provide the context, background and set the scene for your study.
– One way of approaching this chapter is to write 3 – 5 mini essays (around 1000 words each) that cover the key themes in your proposed study. Together, these mini-essays should provide all of the most key previous studies, theories and conceptual knowledge related to your study. The word count may not appear to be restrictive at first glance, but once you begin writing you will likely realise very quickly that you will need to be very strategic about which 3000-5000 words you choose to include.
– For systematic review dissertation studies, it is particularly important not to review literature that directly attempts to address your research question(s). This task is the study itself, whereas this chapter is purely for background and context purposes. This is an important difference to primary research dissertation studies.
– Try to use this chapter to evidence your ability to think critically. This will likely mean critically appraising individual studies and theories, as well as critically appraising and reflecting at the end of each of your mini-essays. Two particularly important critical questions to ask are ‘what is the quality of the evidence being presented in a particular study or set of studies?’ and ‘what are the evidence gaps?’
Chapter 3: Method (approximately 3000 words)
This is a key chapter and your opportunity to evidence your research methodology knowledge and understanding. If you complete this methods chapter effectively, you should have provided enough detail for another research to replicate your study. Please always write this chapter in the past tense. Please also try to avoid writing generic text that is not directly relevant to your study. A suggested structure:
– Research design/approach: Begin by explicitly stating what your study design/approach was. Explain what this design/approach means and provide a clear justification for its choice (what advantages did it afford you in addressing your research question[s]?).
– Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Very clearly state the inclusion and exclusion criteria you set in this study. Provide rationale and justification for each criterion.
– Searching strategy: State what your search keyword terms were (provide Boolean operators). Describe which literature databases you searched, what each literature each database targets, and provide clear rationale for these choices. Describe the other searching techniques you may have used (e.g. reference list checking, emailing authors, manual/hand-searching).
– Screening strategy: Clearly describe how screened your search results against your inclusion and exclusion criteria. What screening stages were involved in identifying the appropriate literature?
– Data extraction: Describe how you extracted your data. Which software did you use? What extraction columns did you create and what data were you targeting in your extraction?
– Quality appraisal: Describe how you quality appraised each study, and what scoring/evaluation system you implemented. What were the implications of studies with stronger or weaker evidence? For example, did the appraisal result in various studies being excluded in the analysis?
– Ethical issues:Describe the ethical issues which were pertinent and relevant to your study. Explain what each issue means, why they are important and relevant in this study, and how you addressed them during the study. These are likely to be minimal in a systematic review. Also state which institutions granted you ethical approval and how this was sought.
– Analysis: Describe your evidence synthesis and data analysis method. If you conducted a meta-analysis, explain your reasons for its adoption and how the meta-analysis was conducted. If you only narratively analysed your data, explain why a meta-analysis was not appropriate. Also explain your approach to your narrative analysis.
Chapter 4: Results (approximately 2000-3000 words)
This chapter is highly descriptive. It involves describing in a structured manner what the exact findings were without interpretation (this is left to your discussion chapter). You will very likely find presenting your data in tables and figures very useful. Please spend time ensuring that any tables and figures you use are very well presented (for example, do not just copy and paste tables or forest plots directly from software programs), titled clearly and accurately, and are referred to within your text. Some good tips for this chapter are:
• focus on the key results –i.e. the ones that answer your research question(s)
• be clear and concise – make sure your readers know exactly which results you are describing
• do not go into too much detail – you only need to direct your readers to important and relevant findings and information
• however, be careful not to omit anything important- your readers were notinvolved in your research study so you need to tell them what you exactly you found
• you must talk about every table, figure and chart you include. If it is not worth talking about, leave it out!
• make life easier for your readers by simplifying your results. For example, 75% is easier to understand than 150 out of 200, and ‘nearly 10%’ is easier to digest than 9.98%
• describe your results. Do not explain or discuss them – this is what the discussion section is for.
Chapter 5: Discussion (approximately 4000-5000 words)
– This is one of the most important parts of your dissertation and you again have an excellent opportunity here to evidence your ability to think critically.
– Begin by succinctly summarising your key findings (but avoid repetition of your results).
– Next, you need to interpret and explain what these findings mean and to address your research question(s). If you set out to test a theory and hypothesis, what were the test findings and what implications do they have for theory? If you set out to explore a theory, how do your findings add to existing theory?
– Critically consider where your results fit in relation to existing literature and the existing evidence-base. This is where you can and should link in with your literature review chapter. Think about how your results and findings compare with previous research, where the differences and similarities are, and theorise as to why the findings are different or similar to previous studies.
– What are the implications of your findings? What significance do they have for relevant public health policy and professionals?
– Critically evaluate your own study. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the study and what implications do these have when readers consider your findings?This is an important subsection as it is one way of evidencing your ability to think critically, and helps the reader understand how powerful this study’s findings are.
Chapter 6: Conclusion (approximately 1000-2000 words)
This is the final chapter in your dissertation. You should:
– Succinctly summarise your study from beginning to end. Remind the reader what your research questions were, why they were important to examine, the methods you used, what the key findings were and what the key implications of the study are.
– Future research: What future research do you think needs to be conducted in order to follow-up and build upon what you have found in your study?
– Reflective thoughts about the study (optional): Here you can reflect upon your experiences of completing your dissertation, for example – what did you learn, where you surprised by anything in particular, how might you have done things differently if you started this study again?
– Final thoughts: Provide any concluding thoughts and remarks.
References
– As usual, please use the University’s Harvard referencing system. Carefully and accurately provide a list of references for all of the literature that you have cited in this proposal.
Appendices
These are intended to give you the opportunity to provide supplementary materials that support the discussion and analysis in the main text. Do not include unrelated and unnecessary appendices. Examples of appendices include supporting information such as the data collection tools used, ethical clearance documents, etc. The exact nature of the appendices will vary with the type of study undertaken.

For this assignment, you will select a single collection of poetry (50-100 pages long) by a single author and write a 5-page book review. By “single collection” this means you should avoid anthologies, “Selected,” or “Collected” books of poems of an author’s work. A single collection of poems is typically between 50 and 100 pages and is a collection of poems released all at one time. If you can only find a collected book of poems by the author, then this can be okay–you will focus on just one book inside the collection (as long as they are separated as such.) It is up to you where you get this and how you read it. You may purchase it from the store, order it online, or read a digital copy of the book (if available.) When selecting a book, I encourage you to look back at the poems you have liked from our course thus far. Typically, on the Poetry Foundation website, at the bottom of each poem, they will cite where the poem is from and when it was published. Writing the Essay: In your essay, you will discuss and analyze the poet’s historical context, and you will conduct close readings of at least 3 poems from the book to provide textual examples of the poet’s use of form, themes, images, language, style, and other relevant points. I encourage you to make comparisons to other poems or poets when discussing the book as well as to draw on the criticism of scholarly work (just be sure to cite them all.) In your review, consider these questions: What is holding this book together? Are there certain themes that get repeated in the book? What is the form of the poems like? Are they all similar? Different? How so? Where does this poet fall in the timeline of poets we have looked at in this class? Are they working in the same tradition or with the same tendencies as others, or are they reacting against them? Try to relate their work to at least a few writers we have discussed. Lastly, what is the importance of this book? What is your final opinion of it? (be sure to back this up with examples.) Requirements: The essay should be a total of 5 full pages, double-spaced, in MLA format. Instructor will be grading the essays on the following criteria: Quality and complexity of analysis Synthesis and use of terms/ materials from this class in your discussion of the book you’ve chosen Clarity of writing (take time to proofread your essays; seek help from others, if needed) Follows appropriate MLA form and properly cites and uses sources without plagiarism (since all essays are automatically checked for plagiarism, be very careful to always cite your source when you use ideas that are not originally yours; III. Book Reviews In addition to reading the above poems, you should also spend this week working on your book review essays. It’s been said of certain books before (such as James Joyce’s Ulysses) that “you can’t it, you can only reread it.” This is true for reading a book of poems in preparation for writing a review of it. So give yourself plenty of time to spend on this. Writing a good book review is not easy. It requires you to look at the book micro- and macroscopically–to analyze the poems in detail but also to make comments about the book as a whole. Here are a few prewriting tips of things to do in preparation to writing your essay: Prewriting Read the book all the way through, taking quick notes and dog-earing or bookmarking favorite poems. It’s okay if, at first, you pick lots of favorites. You can narrow them down later. But try to pick out at least five that seem most interesting to you or exemplary of something you think is important about the book. After you’ve read it all the way through, jot down some first impressions: overall, how did you feel reading it? Is the book broken up into different parts? Are there different “moods” to the book? Read the book through again. In your notes, pay attention to recurring themes (do a lot of the poems have to do with a certain topic?), the form of the poems (do all the poems look different? the same?) Focus on the favorite poems you picked out. Ideally, for an essay this size, it’s best to whittle it down to using 3 poems, but that number is flexible. Reread and re-reread these poems closely, taking down notes. At this point, you’ll want to begin thinking about what it is you’d like to say about the book (your thesis) because the poems you choose to discuss in the essay should be examples to help you support this idea. Once you have taken detailed notes on the poems you’d like to discuss, you can begin drafting an outline or simply start writing–whichever method best works for you. Last, begin your draft. And don’t be afraid to change your ideas a bit as you read and think about the book some more. Writing As with the last essay, you have a good amount of freedom in terms of what you want to discuss, so long as you do so to an adequate depth and thoughtfulness. Here are some questions, though, to consider when thinking about the book you are reviewing. You could spend your whole essay discussing just one of these or you could possibly mix several together; it’s up to you and what you feel is important for a reader to know about the book. What themes are explored in the book, and how does the author address these? What form or forms do the poems come in? Does the writer use fixed forms, do they create their own, or are the poems mostly free verse? Are the poems mostly the same shape, with the same length in lines, number of stanzas, etc? What tradition is this poet a part of? Are they well known or less known? How has their work been received by others? When and where was this book published? Were there relevant historical events or conditions that affected the writing of this book? Are the poems similar at all to any other poets you know? Is this poet drastically different (but similar in some way) to any other poets you know? (In any of the ways mentioned above) Warnings: These are a few things to avoid doing in your essay Don’t over quote. It is great to include quotes of the poems in your essay, but you only need to quote what you actively reference and discuss in the essay. Also, in terms of page count, know that I will be aware of the use of over-quoting to simply reach the minimum page requirement; when evaluating essays I don’t count the quoted material into the page count. So if you have a five essay, but 1.5 pages are taken up quoting an entire poem, then that is actually more like a 3.5 page essay. Don’t over summarize. This is an honest and easy mistake to fall into. While some summarizing can be helpful so far as it helps you explain your bigger goals in the essay, it is not your job nor your focus to summarize the entire book in great detail. Keep general summaries of a poem to about 1-2 sentences. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t comment on and interpret the poems, but your focus shouldn’t be on simply reiterating the content of the poems. Expect that your reader can read it for his or herself. Don’t refer to authors by only their first names. Use full name or last name only. I know I’ve said this elsewhere, but it’s worth repeating as doing so in the future on any other literary analysis essay is a quick and easy flag of an amateur; and I don’t want any of you to be mistaken for amateurs! Don’t use past tense when talking about literary works, even if they were written in the past. This always takes a bit of adjusting to, but the standard for writing about works of literature is to use the “literary present.” So unless you are describing when the book was published (in that case, past tense is fine), always use present tense. For example, you could write: “In her poem, “Daddy” Sylvia Plath explores the complex and turbulent relationship of a daughter to her father.” However, you could remark that “the poem was published in xxxx.” —Here’s are instruction from the school—————— I will buy the e-book or Kindle that the book that you choose to do and I attached rubric for you. The poem style that we discussed in our class is Modernism, Harlem Renaissance & Beat Poetry, Narrative Approaches & The New Surrealisms, Identity Politics
& Poetics, Language, Conceptualism, Minimalism, & Other Oddities here are some style we discussed in our class. When you choice the book you should provide which part of the poem style that is the book usually talks about among the styles that I told. Before I hire you I need to get book confirm by my instroctor. And lastly, becareful about the warning from the instructor This essay will be complicated so I wants some one who have experienced about the poem book review.
