The apple represents Earth, the skin of the apple Earth's surface and the core of the apple Earth's core. This activity looks at how much arable land (land available for growing crops) there is on Earth as a whole

Roughly 75% of the earth is water, oceans, lakes and rivers.

Half of the land mass on earth is found in areas not available for food production, such as the polar regions, deserts and alpine areas. Remove these areas by cutting the remaining apple in half again.

There is now 12. 5 percent of the apple left

Of the remaining earth apple, 40 percent cannot be used as it is too dry, too wet or too steep to grow food. Cut away this amount and look at what you have left.

You have left just a small slither of the apple. Peel the skin away from the apple and look the skin. This small strip of skin represents the amount of soil and land available for growing food
