Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics.

As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

Keep one thing in mind - you should name your organisation keeping in mind the area of work you chose like we have named our organisation Narmada Ecology and Welfare Society (NEWS) keeping in mind our area of activities which include developmental work for forest dwellers and other conservation activities especially… [cont.]

Q. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the current global model, versus local or regional models, and is there room (or need) to reconcile these different visions for food production?

A. Local - Regional model , People that rely on import - export could make food like in the old times so they would not suffer from hunger , starve famine Global = People with money can eat any kind of food by making poor people starve and work for a miserable pay Global = People can no longer support themselves , you are forced to exchange and so on , cannot live on your own or in small community anymore , therefore forced to live by the world standard
