Resource Reliance
Food production
GM crops - Involves the changing of DNA in crops to increase resilience to disease and droughts for better yields. Also increases size and nutritional value
Intensive farming - Use of pesticides and herbicides increase yields but are environmentally damaging
Allotments - an example of bottom up aid, allows people to make their own food in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way
Fair trade - an example of ethical consumerism, these products benefit the famers and communities financially and ensure environmental safety during production.
Commercial fish farming - Intensive fish farming can have a damaging effect on ecosystems and drastically decrease fish populations
-
Mechanisation - The use of machines for havesting, weeding, etc. to increase yields
Cattle ranching - Livestock contribute significantly to methane and ammonia emissions which is worsened by deliberate breeding for food
-
Resources
Boserup theory - Humanity will continue to find solutions to problems regarding limitations in the supply of resources
-
Malthus theory - The population will continue to grow exponentially whilst the supply of resources grows at a linear rate resulting in large scale population decrease when the population becomes more than the resource supply
