Week 6 Lesson 2 Resource management. MAP

1 Date: 14/12/2021 Title: MAP 2 Look, cover, write, check What can you see? What can you remember? Write down the following three spellings. Look at them, cover them, write them, check them. Describe what you can see in the image How has conflict led to food insecurity? 1. Hydroponics 2. Energy 3. Biotechnology

I Identify – What can you see in the images? _______________________________________________ ______________________ D Describe – What do you think these are? _______________________________________________ ______________________ Explain – What is renewable and non-renewable energy? E _______________________________________________ _________________ A Analyse – What do you think is the best form of energy and why? _______________________________________________ ______________________

Key words for energy 1. Renewable Energy = energy from a source that is not depleted when used. 2. Non Renewable Energy = A natural resource that, once consumed, cannot be replaced. 3. Sustainable Energy = meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need. e. g biofuel if replanted 4. Energy Mix= The range of renewable and non renewable sources used by a country and their proportions 5. Fossil Fuel= A natural fuel formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms- coal, oil and gas.

Food insecurity and impacts Famine is a widespread shortage of food which causes malnutrition, starvation and death In Africa, soil erosion has reduced the continent’s grain harvest by 8 million tonnes, or roughly 8 per cent. This is projected to double to 16 million tonnes by 2020 if soil erosion is not reduced. UN agencies say 100, 000 people are currently facing starvation in Undernutrition is the lack of a balanced diet. In certain areas like Sub- South Sudan and a further 1 million there are classified as being on the Saharan Africa and southern Asia diets are lacking sufficient protein, brink of famine. This is the most acute of the present food emergencies. carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. The famine is due to conflict in the area which has destroyed crops and livestock and increased food prices. Soil erosion removes the top layer of fertile soil by wind and water. This is caused by: • Deforestation: as the tree roots do not bind the soil together • Overgrazing: as the animals eat the plants and trample the soil • Over-cultivation: this removes nutrients and the soil becomes infertile A poor grain harvest in Russia, Australia and Pakistan in 2010 led to a ban on exports of grain from Russia causing a reduction in the supply of grain and a global rise in food prices. Food prices are rising across the world. This is mainly due to increased In Venezuala, food riots have taken place in both 2016 and 2017 as prices for fertilisers, animal feed, food storage, processing and food prices rise. People have looted shops and attacked delivery lorries. transportation. Increase in food insecurity can lead to conflict, social unrest and “food riots”. When food becomes scarce, people are often willing to fight in order to survive. 14/12/2021 The Food and Agricultural Organisation estimate that 805 million people suffer from undernutrition and it causes 300000 deaths per year.
