What is meant by malnourished?
When a person don’t have right balance of nutrients
What is meant by undernourishment?
Where people don’t get enough food of any kind
State a social effect of malnourishment
Malnourished = increases likelihood of diseases
Name 2 economic effects of having a lack of food
- Not enough food = not perform well at school
- = lack skills needed to help country’s economic development
- prevents people from working
- harms personal economic well-being & economy of their country
- prevents people from working
Name a social effect of no sanitation
- Water sources get polluted by raw sewage
- = water-borne diseases e.g. cholera = kill many people each year
Name 2 economic effects of not having acess to clean, safe water
- Having to walk long distances to fetch clean water = have economic impact on people & country’s economy
- People = less time working & children ≠ school
- Water needed to produce food, clothes, etc ≠ produce goods
Name 2 economic effects of having electricity
Electricity: industries to develop + creates jobs = makes countries wealthy
What do people do if there’s no electricity available (2x)?
Burn wood or kerosene for cooking & to provide light/heat
What’s the social effect of buring wood?
- Fuelwood = deforestation
- People have to walk further to find wood
What’s the issue of using kerosene?
Kerosene stoves = harmful fumes & starts fires
Why is the global supply and consumption of resources uneven? (envrionmental wise)
∵ Some countries have:
- No energy reserves
- Dry climate/environments not suitable for food production
How do countries access more resources? (2x)
Import or find technological solutions to produce more
What 2 things does consumption of resources depends on?
country’s wealth + their availability
Why is consumption of resources greater in HICs?
∵ they can afford them (+ expect higher standard of living)
Why is consumption increasing rapidly in NEEs?
∵ Industry developing very fast & population, wealth = increasing rapidly
Why is consumption lower in LICs?
∵ Can’t afford exploit resources they have OR import
What is an agribusiness?
- Large-scale industrial farming
- Where processes from production of seeds & fertilisers to processing & packaging of food = controlled by large firms
Name 3 ways farms are changing
- Farm sizes increasing
- Amount of chemicals in food production increasing
- No. of workers decreasing
Describe 2 ways in which farm sizes are increasing & why this is happening
- Small farms take over & field sizes increased
- = food produced more cheaply
Name 2 ways in which the amount of chemicals in food production increasing
- Large amount of artificial fertilisers & pesticides = crops
- Animals given special feed = encourage growth
Why is the no. of workers decreasing?
∵ greater use of machinery
What is the environmental impact of increasing farm size?
Hedgerows removed = loss in biodiversity
What is the environmental impact of using heavy machinery ?
Soil erosion
Describe 3 ways in which the types of food in demand in UK have changed
- Since 1960s: growing demand for seasonal products all year round
- Increasing demand for high-value foods
- Organic produce = increasingly popular
