Population explosion occurring irrespective to the industrial revolution provoked the issue of scarcity of food anew in the long run of the world economy. The requirement of a new revolution in the agricultural sector developed mainly through over consumption of resources of land and capital in the event of exponential growth of population. Nevertheless, the

They are known as the “old ones” because of their seminomadic lifestyle and isolation towards the other Native American tribes, but they eventually merged with other native cultures by the late 14th century.

informed us that, “Starting from the 11th century, there has been overfishing in the economic regions. In the 14th century, and by the mid 19th century there were already fierce discussions about overfishing. From the beginning of the 21st century, the fisheries crisis has turned into a global threat to the oceans. Once depleting a specific ecosystem, the fisheries moved on to unspoilt areas - from Europe to the Americas, etc. and from the 11th century onwards, overuse has led to the destruction

that the tomato industry has the ability to increase the export earnings of African countries whilst improving the living standards of the individuals producing it. Tomato production is currently on the increase in Nigeria partly in recognition of its food values as a source of essential body-building proteins, vitamins and minerals (Vilareal, 1980).

Microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic (Jain, 2010). The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Microorganism include bacteria, fungi, archae or protists but not strictly viruses and prions, which are generally classified as non-living. Most microorganism are single celled, or unicellular, but some are microscopic and some unicellular protists are visible to the average human. Microorganisms are ubiquitous and live in most inhospitable sites across the various ecosystems
