Extinction and What We Eat Food & The Environment

Essential Questions What is the relationship between food production and extinction? What is the impact of food production on the environment? What is the correlation of human population with fish stocks and meat production? How does human population impact agriculture? How do different types of food production differ in impacts on extinction and climate?

Objectives Describe the relationship between food production and extinction. Use data to show environmental impacts of modern agriculture. Demonstrate the correlation of human population with fish stocks and meat production. Illustrate how human population impacts agriculture. Show how types of food production differ in their impacts on extinction and climate.

Favorite Foods! What is your favorite food? Write a list of your three favorite foods.

Destroying Our Oceans (23:50-31:25)

What could you do? What are three things you could do to prevent destruction of our oceans? Think of daily activities that may have a wider impact on our oceans.

Could you eat differently? Would you change your diet to save the oceans? Use your food logs to create a sample menu of what you eat in one day.

Understanding Food You will learn about how food production affects the environment and Earth’s wildlife.

Change Your Diet, Save The World (31:25-33:45)

Impacts of Modern Agriculture With your group: Research evidence for the environmental impacts of modern agriculture. Create a graphic organizer showing environmental impacts Use maps to explore impacts: Habitat loss Carbon dioxide emissions Pollution Decline of crop diversity Soil erosion

Impacts of Modern Agriculture: Resources

Explaining Food Production After completing question 6 I want you (and only you) to come up with some ideas of how to efficiently produce food without harming or destroying the environment.

Share and compare with someone around you. We will be sharing and critiquing your ideas. Let us share How could we test some of your ideas scientifically to prove if they work or not?

An Encounter with a Manta Ray (33:45-40:19)

What is the impact of human activities? Working individually: Write a short passage explaining how resource depletion is connected to human activities. Consider focusing on: Needs and role of local communities Dilemmas such as food or jobs versus exploiting resources Large-scale activities such as industrial fisheries

With your group: Explore online resources to describe the relationship between human population and fish stocks and meat production. Be sure to: Obtain data on: – Human population increase – Decline of fish stocks – Increase in global meat production Describe potential sources of error or inaccuracy in estimating correlations Correlation of Population and Food Production

Correlation of Population and Food Production: Resources

Impacts on Communities Choose a case study of food resource decline and research the impact on local communities. Choose one of the options below and research and summarize pros and cons. Collapse of North Atlantic cod fishery Destruction of tropical rainforests Overgrazing in North Africa’s Sahel region

Brainstorm! Your mission (should you choose to accept it)! Create a list of activities that publicize and educate about dietary choices. Ensure that your activities: Are feasible and realistic Do not require funding Ideally could be conducted in a class setting

Know the carbon cost of what you eat.

Eating For Wildlife Eat less meat Eat seasonally and locally Go vegetarian or vegan Eat organic Eat sustainable seafood Drink filtered tap water Choose shark-free tuna Avoid shark fins and oils Vote with your wallet and your fork

Tragedy of the Commons If time allows: Investigate the concept of The Tragedy of the Commons. Write a passage describing how this concept explains environmental problems such as overfishing.

Tragedy of the Commons: Resources

Evaluation - Optional 1.Write a short passage describing the relationship between food production and extinction. 2.Which of the following have the greatest impact on food production: habitat loss, carbon dioxide emissions, pollution, decline of crop diversity, or soil erosion? Justify your answer. 3.Explain how human population increase and consumption has led to the decline of fish stocks and increased meat production. 4.Compare and contrast different types of food production in their impacts on extinction and climate.
