Climate Change
Coal, oil and natural gas are collectively known by this name.
What are fossil fuels?
Hunger, poor nutrition, and low energy are examples of these caused by food security.
What are negative health impacts?
This biome has very little rainfall and large temperature changes.
What is a desert?
This exists when people have reliable access to enough safe and nutritious food for an active and healthy life.
What is food security?
This farming practice reduces soil erosion by minimising soil disturbance, using crop residues or cover crops to protect soil and growing diverse plant species.
What is conservation agriculture?
Melting ice and warming oceans contribute to an increase in this.
What is sea level?
Food banks, school breakfast programs, and community gardens are examples of these designed to improve access to food.
What are community health strategies?
This freezing southern landmass is the largest desert on Earth, despite being covered in thick ice.
What is Antarctica?
This economic factor can cause food insecurity when people cannot afford enough nutritious food.
What is poverty?
Water scarcity refers to a lack of sufficient water, where food production is affected in dry or semi-dry biomes because crops rely on this.
What is irrigation?
Cows and landfill sites release large amounts of this greenhouse gas.
What is methane?
Cost, transport, and location are examples of these that can reduce a person's access to healthy food.
What are barriers to healthy food access?
Many grassland animals travel seasonally to find food and water.
Seasonal harvesting, cultural burning, and sustainable hunting are examples of these practices used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to manage food resources.
What are traditional land and food management practices?
This approach to farming focuses on improving soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem function through crop rotation, green manure, polyculture, and native windbreaks.
What is regenerative agriculture?
Clearing rainforests for cattle or crops causes this major environmental problem.
What is deforestation?
This school based strategy can improve student nutrition, concentration, and energy by providing food before classes.
What is a school breakfast program?
This biome is dominated by grasses, has few trees, and supports large grazing animals because rainfall is not high enough to support dense forests.
What is grassland?
This type of food insecurity occurs over a long period of time.
What is chronic food insecurity?
A farmer wants to assess whether their farming method is environmentally sustainable. These three soil-related factors would be particularly useful to monitor: erosion, salinity and this process that occurs when soil becomes increasingly acidic
What it soil acidification?
If Spider-Man replaced web-swinging with driving a petrol powered Spider-Mobile, burning would increase his contribution to climate change by releasing more of this greenhouse gas.
What is carbon dioxide?
When critiquing a health strategy, you should identify a benefit as well as this possible weakness or disadvantage.
What is a limitation?
Climate change can shift the boundaries of biomes because changes in these two major climate factors determine which plants and animals can survive in an area.
Droughts, floods, and extreme weather caused by this can reduce food production and threaten food security.
What is climate change?
A farmer is deciding whether to replace conventional farming with a more sustainable approach. They want to maintain food production while improving soil health and reducing environmental damage. This approach requires balancing these three dimensions of sustainability.
What is environmental, economic, and social sustainability?
