Research on the Establishment of the "Five Freedoms" of Farm Animals Welfare Abstract: Since the passing of the Martin Act in 1822, the British society had debated on how to care for animals and how to deal with the relationship between humans and animals for a long time. After then, the publication of the Animal Farm in 1964 aroused a 15-year debate about the farm animal welfare issues. After longterm debates and consultations between the parties, the “five freedoms” of farm animal welfare was established finally in 1979.

A Paradox in the Tide of Modernization: Application of Chemical Fertilizer in Modern China Abstract: Chemical fertilizer is an important product and symbol of modernization. Modern Chinese society, which was striving to accept and catch up with the tide of modernization, could have expected the spread and rapid popularization of chemical fertilizers. However, the reality of life is that the use of chemical fertilizer in modern China was not only limited, but also developed slowly, and even declined after 1930. The application of chemical fertilizer in modern China presents an obvious paradox. The attitude of Chinese farmers towards the land in modern times, the side effects of chemical fertilizer application, and the special economic and social background are the main reasons for the poor application of chemical fertilizer, and also the key factors to understand the paradox of chemical fertilizer application in modern China. Key Words: Agricultural modernization; Chemical fertilizer; Negative effect of fertilizerIssue:Volume 46, lssue 8, August 2024Page: 58-66
