Global food shortages result in large scale famine significantly limiting the global population. Yes. The population will continue to grow at the same rapid rate until we run out of food. O No. Population growth rates are decreasing despite an increasing global food supply. O No. Population growth rates are increasing along with the global food supply.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the modernization of the agri-food system to the modernization of medicine.arrow_forwardIn your paper, respond to the article, Kenya- The Green Belt Movement, by considering the importance of this real-life experiment to not only the impoverished countries or those with overused resources, but also to those rich in finances or resources.

- Hello, I am doing a disaster plan about natural disaster (wildfire) but the professor is asking me to be more especific in the targed population, she told me: "Your disaster plan is thorough and looks good, and I would only offer one suggestion. In the context of your chosen natural disaster, it's important to consider which vulnerable populations will be most affected. For instance, in an earthquake: People with limited mobility: Individuals who rely on wheelchairs, walkers, or have difficulty moving quickly may struggle to evacuate or find safe shelter during the tremors. Elderly individuals: Seniors may face challenges with mobility and may require assistance to evacuate quickly. They are also more susceptible to injuries from falls or structural collapses".

- Ecological footprint is the product of three factors: • population size, ● intensity of resource extraction, ● intensity of waste production. Each of these factors puts strain on our food systems. Search for a strategy human populations or individuals can make to reduce one of the three factors that contribute to our ecological footprint. Practice good Initiative skills as you consider strategies that could be specific to a particular part of the world. How would this help our food systems to be more effective at producing quality food?arrow_forwardI need helparrow_forwardexplain this: Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The number of undernourished people has dropped by almost half in the past two decades because of rapid economic growth and increased agricultural productivity. Unfortunately, extreme hunger and malnutrition remain a huge barrier to development in many countries. There are 821 million people estimated to be chronically undernourished as of 2017, often as a direct consequence of environmental degradation, drought and biodiversity loss. Over 90 million children under five are dangerously underweight. The SDG’s aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people-especially children-have sufficient and nutritious food all year. This involves promoting sustainable agricultural, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land, technology and markets.arrow_forward
