 By: Yesmil, Alorfy, Darwin & Jomar..  An organic material made from plants and animals.  Biomass contains stored energy from the sun.

Every living thing needs energy in order to survive. Every time animals do something (run, jump, move) they use energy to do so. Plants don’t move, so.

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture A System is: a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture An Ecosystem is: the interactions of energy living organisms the physical environment in a geographic location November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture Ecosystems Get, transform, and waste energy (sunlight, food, fossil fuels…) Recycle, lose, and get nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture Ecosystem sun nutrients organisms nutrients energy energy energy organisms November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture An Agro-ecosystem is: an ecosystem that is managed to produce food or fiber November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture A Food System is: the way that food moves from the farm to the consumer November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture

Towards a Sustainable Agriculture Parts of a food system Production (how the food is grown) Processing (cleaning, butchering, manufacturing, packaging, cooking, etc.) Distribution (how the food is moved from the farm to the eater) Consumption (how and where the food is eaten) Waste management (does it go to a landfill? A sewage treatment plant? Back to the farm? Does it pollute? November 18 Towards a Sustainable Agriculture
