Cuban agriculture was transformed from the early 1960s with Soviet and East European agricultural machinery and supplies, resulting in a downgrading of animal traction. But the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989 led the Cuban government to develop an animal traction programme. The agricultural horse population recovered, but the main focus was on oxen. They were bred and trained in large numbers, and the technical infrastructure needed to use them was built up. The recovery in the number of oxen was spectacular. They had fallen from 500,000 in 1960 to 163,000 in 1990 but increased to 380,000 in the late 1990s. They replaced 40,000 tractors.
That is from David Edgerton’s The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History Since 1900, an intermittently excellent book.
Which produces more atmospheric carbon?
10 farting oxen or 1 tractor?
AHHHH, paradise, yet the lefties never wanted to live there.
Oh, well, there’s always Venzuela and Nicaragua.
Yet they’ll never move there, either.
As I understand it animal traction causes a farmer to put up to 1/3 of his acrage in food crops for the animals. I would assume this is a real reduction in agriculture productivity.
Methane is also a greenhouse gas. I read somewhere that termites are the largest source of methane.
Varangy: you cannot argue like that, it depends on how you equip oxen and tractors with labor. For example, one tractor with one driver is definitely more productive than a herd of 1000 oxen with one herder. The problem is that oxen are definitely more labor intensive than tractors… this is a huge waste of human resources.
It’s a matter of balance. If oxen produce enough food to feed the populous, certainly that would be more environmentally friendly. To produce a tractor takes more of your resources than does one oxen.

while natal seems cool and evden eve nakliyat all , why rename xbox 360 to xbox natal ? seems pretty dumb to me. they should just call the package natal like the elite package you can get.evden eve nakliyat if they are making a new evden eve nakliyat console it should play blu-rays. and if natal is as big as a console release does that mean it will get a console price? so i’m guessing we can expect natal to be any where from 150-300$
thank you.
