Significant Ideas:
The sustainability of terrestrial food production systems is influenced by socio-political, economic, and ecological factors
Consumers have a role to play through their support of different terrestrial food production systems.
The supply of food is inequitably available and land suitable for food production is unevenly distributed among societies, and this can lead to conflict and concerns.
Applications & Skills:
Analyze tables and graphs that illustrate the differences in inputs and outputs associated with food production systems.
Compare and contrast the inputs, outputs, and system characteristics for two given food production systems.
Evaluate the relative environmental impacts of two given food production systems.
Discuss the links that exist between socio-cultural systems and food production systems.
Evaluate strategies to increase the sustainability in terrestrial food production systems.
