Development

-
most factories in South East Asia: cheap labour, incentives offered by government, local materials, countries close for transportation, expanding market.

Food production
Kenya
Solutions:
Green revolution: led to high productivity of crops through adapted measures by using different seeds to help specific areas affected by global warming. increased yields and larger farm incomes increased. needs high inputs of fertilizers and more mechanisation
GM crops: increases adaptation to survive increases yield of crops as they are not susceptible to pests/disease, this could affect the environment.
-
Food aid: aid given by MEDCs through World Food Programme as well as NGOs (Oxfam) which can increase dependence of LEDCs on food aid while reducing sales of crops grown locally
Changing farming system / inputs used: increases yield as water infiltration improves and soil erosion decreases from use of methods such as contour ploughing or intercropping
Problems
Drought and hunger in East Africa as food shortages because drought decreases infiltration making soil difficult to farm on with less nutrients: lower than normal rainfall between October and December 2020
Destabilised by Covid19: farmers were unable to work due to potentially being ill with a lack of transport and people going to local markets to buy goods.
Worst devastation of locusts in half a century: diseases, wiping out fields of crops at one time.
Poverty: people have little food anyway so to cut it down even more would be dangerous to lives with crop value decreases so decrease in income.
-
Poor rains: likely in March to May 2021 leading to flooding and destruction to crops or too little leading to droughts.

Tourism
Lake District
Beatrix Potter lived here and took inspiration in her books as well as bought a patch of land to preserve it from further development. tourists come to view her house and gallery which is paid entrance and see her inspiration for books such as Peter Rabbit
Arthur Ransome wrote Swallows and Amazons on the island cats island where it was filmed bringing in tourists to go to coniston water to paddle board or canoe out and follow the journey of the swallows and visit the place he was buried

8 hours by car from london and 1.5 hours by train from manchester making it appealing for the mental health and an escape
national park attracts 15 million visitors per year with many walking routes with many lakes and water sports on offer.
Impacts
Litter: 26% of people admit to leaving litter behind: bins placed commonly, campaigns introduced running local litter pick groups, ten point plan introduced.
Traffic congestion/ air pollution: 83% of visitors travel by car effecting people's health and the environment: parking fines introduced.
-
-
Water pollution: from diseases being carried from boats or paddle boards when crossing from different lakes: need advice / restrictions
Energy
Energy supply to UK
main sources:
-
Gas: biggest source of fuel, formed underground and extracted by drilling into the ground and is imported from other countries when it has run out and transported through pipelines delivered to power stations where it is burnt to drive turbines to produce energy
Renewable: wind: development of large offshore wind farms becoming increasingly debatable, solar: new technology making solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days, hydroelectric: second biggest renewable energy generator in Scotland
