Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.
At the start of the Second World War in 1939, the United Kingdom was importing 20 million long tons of food per year, including about 70% of its cheese and sugar, almost 80% of fruit and about 70% of cereals and fats. The UK also imported more than half of its meat and relied on imported feed to support its domestic meat production.
For the marketing year 2009–2010, dried distillers grains used as livestock feed (and residual) in the US was estimated at 25.5 million metric tons. [23] Examples of waste roughages include straw from barley and wheat crops (edible especially to large-ruminant breeding stock when on maintenance diets), [24] [25] [26] and corn stover. [27] [28]
The country exported 11.2 million metric tons (12.3 million short tons) in 2018, but the number plunged to less than 8 million metric tons (8.8 million short tons) in 2019. [17] The decrease is attributed to the strong baht, floods and drought, and increased competition, according to the Thai Rice Exporters Association.
In 2011, an FAO publication based on studies carried out by The Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology (SIK) found that the total of global amount of food loss and waste was around one third of the edible parts of food produced for human consumption, amounting to about 1.3 billion tonnes (1.28 × 10 9 long tons; 1.43 × 10 9 short tons ...
The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 annual GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 equivalent per year) along with a list of calculated emissions per capita (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year).
In 2018, Bar-On et al. estimated the total live biomass on Earth at about 550 billion (5.5×10 11) tonnes C, [1] most of it in plants. In 1998 Field et.al. estimated the total annual net primary production of biomass at just over 100 billion tonnes C/yr. [ 4 ] The total live biomass of bacteria was once thought to be about the same as plants ...
Since the 2000 pound ton and the 1000 kg tonne are two completely different units, they should be in different articles. If looking up one returns a link to another, people will believe they are the same and aircraft will crash, missiles will veer off course, and the economy will collapse. Possibly. Marc W.
