Food and Agriculture

Feeding the World Catastrophic weather events, such as lack of rain, loss of soil, etc, can result in famine.

Famine Widespread starvation caused by a food shortage War can also contribute to famine

Necessary Nutrients Nutrient Food Sources Function Carbohydrates Wheat, corn, rice Quick energy Lipids (fats) Animal fat, nuts, olives Forms cell membranes, hormones, stored energy Proteins Animal food, some plants Builds and maintains body structures Need a variety of nutrients 8 essential amino acids Building blocks of proteins

Malnutrition A condition that occurs when people do not consume enough calories or do not eat a sufficient variety of foods to fulfill all of the body’s needs.

Diet The type and amount of food a person eats. Varies by region People in more developed countries tend to eat more food and larger proportions of proteins and fats. Some parts of the world only have corn or rice available.

Growing Human Population As the human population grows, farmland is replacing forests and grasslands Makes it difficult to maintain natural ecosystems Different types of agriculture create different environmental impacts

Feeding Many On average, meat requires more energy, water, and land to produce 1 Calorie of food.

Yield Amount of food that can be produced in a given area. A given area of land can usually produce more food for humans when it’s used to grow plants than animals More energy available Reason why diets vary around the world

World Food Problems World food production is no longer increasing a fast as the human population is increasing. Food is unequally distributed. Malnutrition is largely a result of poverty.

Drought Droughts in areas without irrigation may not leave seeds to plant crops the following year. Effect may continue for years. Long droughts may impact soil and make it less able to support crop production.

Green Revolution Increased crop production due to use of new crop varieties and modern agricultural techniques.

Negatives of the Green Revolution New crop varieties require large amounts of water, fertilizers, and pesticides. Machinery, irrigation, and chemicals degrade soil. Subsistence farmers couldn’t keep up
