The agricultural sector suffers from poor cultivation practices and frequent drought, but recent joint efforts by the Government of Ethiopia and donors have strengthened Ethiopia's agricultural resilience, contributing to a reduction in the number of Ethiopians threatened with starvation.
The U.S. had an ecological disaster where poor cultivation methods destroyed the productivity of farm soil and led to a mass migration and a decline in farm production.
Other actions that could result in a censorial punishment were the poor cultivation of land, cowardice or disobedience in the army, dereliction of civil duties, corruption, or debt.
The higher soils are too poor for cultivation and the plateau is virtually uninhabited.
One of the major factors affecting large-scale algae technology application is poor wintering cultivation performance.
The harsh environment and scanty, poor soil limit cultivation to hardy fodder crops, potatoes, and a few vegetables.
The church, on the other hand, concerned itself with divine worship, the care of the sick and poor, and the cultivation of learning and the arts.
The findings of this study also confirmed that indiscriminate felling of trees for fuelwood, unsustainable harvesting of medicinal plants, forest fire, expansion of crop cultivation, poor grazing management, and illegal hunting of game animals were perceived by most of the households as the root causes of forest degradation in the study area.
Two major constraints on cultivation are poor water supply and poor soil.
The probable reason for using higher inorganic fertilizer rates for maize, teff, wheat, potato and haricot bean might be related to the soil fertility status of cultivated field (i.e., usually poor due to continuous cultivation), noticeable yield differences in the absence and presence of fertilizer, crop relevance as source food and demand in the market.
In the northwest, the Hebrides, the Shetland Islands, and other areas, the soil is poor and rocky, and cultivation is possible only at river mouths, glens, and coastal strips.
