...food-production methods. India, for example, is increasingly focused on modernizing its agribusiness and on encouraging farmers to grow more fruits and vegetables instead of staples like wheat and rice. Improved agricultural output in Asia and Latin America has also meant growing demand for tractors, fertilizers and speciality seeds. Drip-irrigation equipment is particularly crucial to farms in China and India, which must use scarce water supplies more efficiently. Post-harvest, the processing and packaging sectors present opportunities in areas such as food-processing machinery, freezer and cold-storage facilities, and packaging and preservation technologies...

The obstetrician, having accompanied the mother-to-be through her uncomfortable pregnancy and painful childbirth, finally delivers the prized baby with the customary, "It's a boy" or "It's a girl." The little one gives a lusty cry then the nurse or pediatrician quickly assesses the newborn, performs any necessary resuscitation, and then, when all is stable, places...
