Key Question 2: What factors promote or hinder food production?

Physical Human Physical Human There are many causes of food shortages…. Soil exhaustion Disease Commercial farming and growth of cash crops Low capital investment/poverty War and civil conflict Drought Floods Pests Tropical cyclones Poor distribution Transport difficulties Physical Human Physical Human Soil exhaustion Low capital investment/poverty Drought Poor distribution Floods Transport difficulties Tropical cyclones War and civil conflict Pests Commercial farming and growth of cash crops Disease

Physical causes of food shortages Human causes of food shortages Use the links provided in the following table to research the causes and consequences of each of the factors which hinder food supply. http://archive.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/uu22we/uu22we0a.htm Physical causes of food shortages Human causes of food shortages Create a table or mind map to show your findings

Key Question 2: What factors promote or hinder food production? The main factors that promote or hinder food production can be divided into the following: Physical Political Economic Technological

Some areas are naturally rich and fertile and capable of very high output even with fairly low-level inputs. These have become densely populated areas. They may be capable of even greater output with modern methods. Other areas are capable of more limited output and may be susceptible to output being reduced by low or erratic rainfall, poor or degrading soils or difficulties related to relief. Some food sources which can normally have very high output can be severely disrupted by natural events, such as the Peruvian fisheries under El Nino conditions.

Look at pages 2 – 9 in the booklet Look at pages 2 – 9 in the booklet. What other factors can promote or hinder food production? Bullet point your findings. (10 minutes)

Moving food around the World: Concerns over food miles is growing, why? What is an Agribusiness?

Agriculture conducted on strictly commercial principles. The group of industries dealing with agricultural produce and services required in farming.

Research into one commodity traded internationally. What factors promote / hinder the production of this product? Think of them in terms of these 4 areas: Physical Political Economic Technological Find a case study example of an agribusiness that is controlling the growth, processing, distribution, marketing and retailing of food.

CAP (common agricultural policy):

The amount of food produced often depends on the level of technological input available. Many area still depend on animal or human power whilst others have sophisticated machinery with satellite guidance for application of fertilizers. Controlled environments under glass are often monitored by computer.

Essay Question: Discuss the reasons for the global imbalance in the availability of food [10 Marks]

Key Question 2: What factors promote or hinder food production? Decide among you which case study you want to research. Create presentation that you will present to the class next lesson. Ensure you include facts and figures where possible. You need to print out a copy of the slides for each member of the class before you present (3 slides per page is fine).
