Global Distribution
Global supply is unequal
HICs consume more since they have more people and can afford it
NEEs consumption is increasing rapidly due to increase in development
LICs consum,ption is low since they cant afford it
Everyone needs them
Water, people need to have healthy diet
Food, people need to eat for nutrients to grow and be healthy

Food in UK
1960=Locally produced and 2020=Imported
Farming is becoming more industrialised (agribusiness)
Carbon footprint of food is increasing (10% came from agriculture)
Greater demand for higher value products such as exotic fruits
Water in UK
Demand for water varies across UK
North and west have water surplus when south and east have water deficit
Demand is increasing (population increasing and new homes in water deficit areas)
Water pollution needs to be managed
Crop fertiliser put in rivers
Chemical or oil spills
Water transfer is expensive since dams and pipes have to be built form north to south
Energy in UK
Energy mix has changed from 1970 to 2020
In 1970=90% coal and 2020=70% oil and gas
In 1970=5% renewables and 2020=25% renewables
UK's supplies of oil, coal and gas are reducing
Issues
Environmental
Burning of fossil fuels causes CO2 release
Pollutes water and rivers
Natural habitats damaged
Economic
Extracting can be expensive
Money needed to research into alternatives
Pay to import energy
