VOCAB. OF HUNGER
HUNGER OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IS KNOWN AS
CHRONIC HUNGER
AT STAGE 1 HUMANS TEND TO ACQUIRE FOOD THROUGH _______ & ________, MAKING THEM LEAN AND STRONG, BUT DISEASE RATES ARE HIGH.
HUNTING AND GATHERING
THIS TYPE OF AGRICULTURE IS WHEN JUST ENOUGH IS GROWN OR RAISED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND IS USUALLY SEVERAL DIFFERENT CROPS
SUBSITENCE FARMING
THIS GUY IS CREDITED WITH STARTING THE GREEN REVOLUTION BY "DESIGNING" A NEW, MORE ROBUST STRAIN OF WHEAT.
NORMAN BORLAUG
THIS TYPE AGRICULTURE ENTAILS A SINGLE CROP BEING PLANTED OVER A LARGE AREA
MONOCULTURE
HUNGER THAT COMES AND GOES WITH GROWING AND HARVEST CYCLES IS KNOW AS
SEASONAL HUNGER
AT STAGE 2, HUMANS ACQUIRE FOOD THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF _________ __________. NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES BEGIN TO APPEAR AT THIS LEVEL.
SETTLEMENT FARMING
THIS TYPE OF AGRICULTURE CONSISTS OF ONE OR TWO CROPS BEING PRODUCED IN HIGH VOLUME TO SELL.
CASH CROP
NAME ONE OF THE CHANGES HE (THE $100 QUESTION GUY) MADE TO WHEAT
1. LOWER STALKS / MORE ROBUST
2. MORE SEEDS / CALORIC ENERGY
3. FASTER GROWING CYCLE
4. BETTER RESPONSE TO FERTILIZERS
WHAT IS ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF PRACTICING MONOCULTURE?
1. TOO RELIANT ON PESTICIDES
2. "ALL EGGS IN ONE BASKET" IF THERE IS A CROP FAILURE
3. INCREASED SOIL DEPLETION / INCREASED NEED FOR FERTILIZERS
4. DECREASED GENETIC DIVERSITY
MALNUTRITION THAT ARISES FROM TOO LITTLE (OR TOO MUCH) OF ONE OR MORE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS IS KNOWN AS
MALNUTRITION
STAGE 3 IS KNOWN AS ________-___________. OBESITY BEGINS TO EMERGE AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE INCREASES.
POST-INDUSTRIALIZATION
THIS TYPE OF AGRICULTURE REQUIRES A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF LAND, BUT A LOT OF LABOUR, FERTILIZER, PESTICIDES, AND WATER. IT TENDS TO BE VERY HIGH YIELD PER HECTARE. (THINK, FRUITS / VEGGIES IN NS OR ON.)
INTENSIVE
NAME TWO BENEFITS OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION
1. SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES
2. "FREED" PEOPLE FROM BACK-BREAKING LABOUR
3. DROVE FOOD PRICES DOWN
4. GREATLY INCREASED YIELDS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CROSSBREEDING AND GMO CREATION?
CROSSBREEDING SELECT FAVOURABLE QUALITIES THROUGH BREEDING OVER GENERATIONS, BUUT GMOS RESULT FROM GENETIC MANIPULATION
A SEVERE SHORT-TERM SHORTAGE OF FOOD CAUSED BY EITHER NATURAL OR HUMAN CAUSES
FAMINE
STAGE 4 REQUIRES HUMANS TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT _____________ ______________ IN ORDER TO REDUCE OBESITY AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
THIS TYPE OF AGRICULTURE REQUIRES LARGE AREAS OF LAND, BUT FEWER PESTICIDES, LABOUR, FERTILIZER, AND WATER. IT PRODUCES LOWER YIELDS PER HECTARE. THINK: WHEAT FARMING IS SASK.
EXTENSIVE
NAME TWO DISADVANTAGES OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION
1. MORE THAN DOUBLED GLOBAL POPULATION
2. DROVE FARMERS INTO DEBT
3. BENEFITTED MEDCS MOSTLY
4. INCREASED DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY
5. DROVE RURAL PEOPLE TO CITIES
6. DECREASED GENETIC DIVERSITY
NAME ONE CONCERN WITH GMOS
1. "SUPER BUGS" THAT ARE BT RESISTANT
2. "SUPER WEEDS" (SIMILAR)
3. PROPRIETARY FOOD?
4. FASTER SEED DEGREDATION
5. "SUICIDE SEEDS" (ESCAPE TO NON-GMO SUPPLY / PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE).
6. IS IT SAFE?
THE RESULT OF EXTREME UNDERNUTRITION; THE BODY BEGINS TO CONSUME ITSELF
STARVATION
AT WHAT STAGE IS CANADA CURRENTLY SITTING?
STAGE 3
NAME ONE FACTOR THAT CAN INFLUENCE OR DETERMINE THE TYPE OF AGRICULTURE THAT OCCURS IN A GIVEN AREA (EG. DO WE SEE MUCH WHEAT FARMING IN NOVA SCOTIA?)
TOPOGRAPHY / CLIMATE
EXPLAIN HOW THE GREEN REVOLUTION DID LITTLE TO BENEFIT AFRICA
AFRICAN FARMERS GROW CROPS NOT AFFECTED BY THE GREEN REVOLUTION, SUCH AS MILLET, SORGHUM, CASSAVA, YAMS
NAME ONE THING WE CAN DO TO MAKE AGRICULTURE MORE SUSTAINABLE
1. BUY ORGANIC
2. AVOID GMOS
3. BUY LOCALLY
4. BUY FAIR TRADE
5. BUY PRODUCTS IN BULK / LIMITED PACKAGING
6. BUY IN SEASON (MORE FROZEN / CANNED GOODS IN WINTER)
