5.2 Terrestrial Food Production Systems and Food Choices
factors effect sustainability of TFPS
Industrialization
Mechanization
Scale
Fossil Fuel
Antibiotics
animals remain healthy
might cause antibiotic resistance disease
Legaslation
reduce consumption (tax, tariff)
Polinators
increase growth - reduce food scarcity
Commercial vs Subsistence
c- reduce scarcity
s- reduce overconsumptions
Fertilizers
Water used
pest control
Seed crop livestock choice
inequality food production & distribution
main strands food security
(availability , access, use)
food crisis threats
endanger political stability
erode development gains
pushing more ppl into poverty
MEDCs
Food wastage
Obesity problems (over nourishment),
too many calories
Factors
Economics
Rising demand in MEDCs- allocate land in LEDCs (reduce food for LEDCs)
advance technology and money overcome ecological limitation
underinvestment in LEDCs - poor productivity
Sociopolitics
Huge domestic support and export subsidies - LEDCs uncompetitive
advantages more to MEDCs than LEDCs in the market
Import tariffs by MEDCs (more expensive) - knock-off effect for exporting countries
Ecological
soil degradation
declining biodiversity- reduce future food production
Climate change & global warming in MEDCs and LEDCs
LEDCs
Malnutrition (Undernourishment),
lack of calories & unbalances
poverty, harmful economic systems, conflict, climate change
Food miles problem - environmental impact
Food waste (stages)
distribution
poor transport and infrastructure
storage
mold / pest destroy
Processing & packaging
damaged during washing/ peparation
retailer
Aesthetic / packaging defects / overstocking
Harvesting
damaged/inappropriate size/misshaped product
consumer
Excess food/ inappropriate storage
LEDCs
food loss during stages(insufficient)
MEDCs
consumerism, excess wealth, mass marketing (lead to waste)
factors influence food choice
cultural
local climate determine growth ( temperature , precipitation, soil type& fertility)
political
price support loan, production controls, tariff, subsidy
economic
some culture favour subsistence farming (religious)
ecological
transport, market capital , technology
investment (building, machinery)
socioeconomic
maket force determine supply & demand
desertification
overgrazing
vegetation fails to grow
soil exposed to rain and wind
animal (too many) eat all vegetation
soil washed/ blown away
Farming System
Types
Commercial
Pastoral
Subsistence
Mix
System
system characteristics
diversity (mono/polyculture), sustainably , indigenous& introduced crop species
Environmental impact
pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, soil erosion
socio-economic factors
farming for profit, export, local consumption
outputs
food quality, quantity, pollutants
Inputs
fertlizer, water, pest control, labour, seed, breeding stock
