Future - Nutritional Standards Flashcards
What will increasing food prices do to the population
Lower nutritional quality
Exacerbate obesity
Amplify health inequalities
Changes in agriculture production
More plants because favourable conditions
Use of different pesticides and medicines, this could have detrimental impacts to humans.
Implications with Food safety
What do NEES go throught
Nutritional transition
Westernised food
Eh China now eat more meat.
This generates positive feedback as more livestock production increases methane emission and use more land/ increase clearance of forests
How will LICs be impacted
Most vulnerable
They rely on climate / rain to make crops but less rain and hotter climate may reduce yield and lead to drought.
Farmer may have to sell livestock - they will become iron/ zinc deficiency
Malnutrition
How will HICs cow
Adapt to food safety consequences due to climate change
But responding to nutritional challenges is less certain - people so reliant on western foods
