17 Second Green Revolution Mostly in tropical and subtropical developing countries Introduction of new fast growing, high- yield varieties of crops (wheat and rice) Need fertile soils and ample water

19 Environmental Effects of Food Production

20

21

22 Increasing food sources for an expanding population 1. GMO - Genetically modified organisms

23

24 2. Try new foods Winged bean

25 Microlivestock 3. Irrigating more land 4. Cultivating more land 5. Grow more food in urban areas

26 6. Produce more meat Rangeland - uses native vegetation Pasture - uses domesticated or introduced forage plants Feedlots - grain, animal by-products

27 Environmental problems with higher meat production Concentrates pollution problems Increased pressure on grain and fish supply Increased fossil fuel needs Increased spread of infectious livestock diseases

28 7. Catch and raise more fish

29

30 Overfishing and habitat degradation (pg 304)

31 Aquaculture - Fish farming and ranching

32

33 Government and Agriculture policies (pg 307-309) Sustainable Agriculture Ch. 13-8
