💚20.1 Food Supply

Front 1

4 Ways Humans have increased food production and explain

Back 1

1. Agricultural Machinery

Can use larger land with more efficiency

2. Selective Breeding

species with exact traits required to improve yield reliably

3. Insecticides and Herbicides

To reduce competition from weeds and have less damage done for crops by insects

4. Fertilisers Chemical

Improve yield

Front 2

What's monoculture

Back 2

Growing one type of crop on large scale

Front 3

2 Types of Methods under Food Supply to feed Global Pop

Back 3

1. Monoculture

2. Intensive Livestock Farming

Front 4

Cons of Monoculture 4

Back 4

1. Loss of Biodiversity

Many plants uprooted and organisms that relied on local Biodiversity die out

2. Increase Pest Pops

3. Soil Nutrient Depletion

4. More pesticides used

Front 5

Pros of Monoculture 2

Back 5

Efficient and specialised land use

Large scale production

Front 6

Insecticides Cons 3

Back 6

1. Death of important pollinators 🐝

2. Accumulates pesticide resistance

3. Pollution ex bioaccumilation

Front 7

Dangerous trap of Global Food Supply 6

Back 7

Increase Populatio > Increased Food Demand > More land cleared, more methane released, > global warming > extreme weather > can't grow Food in particular spot again

Front 8

Cons of Intensive Livestock Production

Back 8

1. Antibiotic Resistant

2. Ethical Concerns

Cos they can't move and are kept warm to reduce energy loss

3. Overgrazing > Soil erosion

4. Methane 💨

Front 9

Intensive Lievstock Farming meaning

Back 9

Large numbers of livestock kept packed in maximum capacity intensive small areas
