Factors Influencing Biomes Food Production - Coggle Diagram
Factors Influencing Biomes Food Production
Environmental
Soil
The production has an effect on the soil as the rice is taking the nutrients away from the soil. We have also invented fertilizers etc. to put in the soil to make it ready to have rice planted in it which is altering the surround environment for human use.
Water Availability
Increases in technology have helped to increase water availability in order to grow rice in areas where there isn't as much water which then has an effect on the environment as there is suddenly water where there wouldn't usually be water.
Placement
Temperature
The temperature of the place can greatly affect whether rice can grow because if it is too cold then things like frost can kill it but if it is too hot than the water gets evaporated and the plant shrivels up and dies.
Latitude
The latitude of the place has an effect on what temperature, climate and the amount of sunlight a place gets which effects how well rice could grow there.
Climate
The climate of the place will depend on what crops can grow there including rice and whether or not there is enough rainfall or the temperature is right to accommodate the rice to grow.
Sunlight
The amount of sunlight that the place gets can effect whether or not rice is able to be grown there.
Topography
We can now utilize mountains etc. to grow the rice on which can provide more water from the rice as the rain runs off the hills as it goes down to the rivers below.
Economic
Agribusiness (Commercialization)
The demand for Rice and meeting that demand
Trade
Where rice is sourced and how to get that rice distributed across the world for the world to enjoy
Technology
Agrochemicals
The increase in available agrochemicals helps to grow more crops faster and with less chance of them dying from bugs or other pest which increases the possible rice yields
Mechanization
The use of machines in rice farming helps to increase the yield by getting the most amount possible with the technology, and makes rice production faster and easier so more people grow it providing the world with more rice.
Irrigation
Technology changing the way that we irrigate the rice in order to grow more, make sure there is always the required amount of water and save as much water as possible in order not to waste it
Breeding Technology
Breeding technology has also increase rice yields by creating rice that is resistant to diseases, is always reliable, sometimes drought proof. This eliminates all of the things that could go wrong with the rice which could potentially spoil the yield.
Green Revolution
Helping third world countries grow large amounts of rice using artificial fertilizer and other techniques.
