food production Flashcards
to improve efficiency of food production
reduce stages in food chain, more food from crops in a field then cattle
restrict energy loss by animals, keep them close together so they don’t waste energy
develop new sources- mycoprotein takes protein from fungi in the form of quorn though fermentation
problems with efficient food production
animals live in uncomfortable conditions
disease easily spread among animals
animals need to be kept warm using power from fossil fuels
overfishing to fee animals
food miles
the miles that food is transported, transport releases co2 into atmosphere
why are fish stocks declining
overfishing, means that
less fish to eat
destroys food chains in ocean lessons to possible extinction
how to fix low fish stocks
sustainable food production
fishing quotas
limits on net size
