P2 Section C : The Challenge of Resource Management Flashcards
What is a resource
A resource is jsut something that we use - in this case it is food watee and energy
Why does everyone need foo dwate and energy
-resources such as food ,, wter and energya re needed for basic human development ,.
-Acess to these three resources afects the economiic and social well being of people and countries .
why do people need food (1)
-When people can;t acess enoguhs afe nutritous food , they can;t et the right balance of nutrients .
-This canc ause malnorusihment - which incldued undernourishmnt where pople don;t get enough food of any kind .
Why do people need food (2)
-Malnourishment can limit children;s development (e.g by causing iron deficieny .)
-It lso increases the likelihood of getting ill - gllobally , one third of all under -5s die from diseases linked to malnourishment .
Why people need Water (1)
-People need clen safe water fro drinking cooking and wasing .
-Without proer sanitation , water sources get polluted by raw sewage .
Why do people need water (2)
Waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid kill many poeple each year .
-Water is needed to produce food clothes and many other poroducts ,s oi thas a big impact on poeple’s lifestyle .
WHY DO coutnires need energy (1)
-Countires need energy for indutry and transport as wella s for use in homes .
-Electricity can allow countires to develop indsutry , creting jobs and welath .
-Lifestyles in HICS depend on a alrge stbale supply of energy .
Why do countries need energy (2)
-wIRHOUT ELECTIRICY , PEOPLE IN llics AND nees MAY USE OTHER REOSURCES . bURNING WOOD leads to local deforestation , so poeple hve to walk further to find fuel .
-electiricty can also power pumps for wells andp orvide mroe safe water for communtiies .
What can a lack of these resourced do ?
A LACK OF ANY ONE OF THESE RESOURCES CAN AFFECT A PERSONS ABILITY TO attend school or work . This can preven tpoeple from leaning and using skills needed for their coutnry;s development .
The global supply and consumption of resources is unequal (1)
-The global distirbution ofresources is very unevven .
-SOme coutnried dont; ahve thier own energy resources .
-oTHER have dry climates or environments that are not suitbale for food production .
The global supply and consumption of resources is unequal (2)
-To acess more reosurces these countires have to import them or find technological solutions to porduce more e.g building desalination plants can porduce fresh water from saltwater .This is expensive .
The global supply and consumption of resources is unequal (3)
So consumption of resources depend on a coutnrys welath as wella s resource AVAIALBILITY .
IN HICS …
Consumption of resources is greater in HCIS because they can afford to buyt he reousrces hey neednad expect a higher standrd of lviing .
-CouNTRIES LIKE LUEXEMOURG improt mcuh of the nergy they sue .
IN NEES …
-consumption is increasing rapildy , in NEES sucha s China . Industry is developing wuickly (which reuires lot of energy) .
-and populationw ealth is also incresingly rapidly .
IN LICS …
-Consumption is lwoer in lics sucha s UGanda as theyc an;t afford to either
-Exploit available reosurces or .
-Import lackign resources .
Differentntypes of food are becoming more popular
-The types of food that are in demand in the UK have changed .Before the 1960s , most of the fruit and vegetvles on sale in the UK were locally produced nd seasonal , now there is a greater demand for range of prodcuts .
- Reasons for more imports into the UK
HIGH -VALUE FOODS
As poeple’s incomes have increased , exotic fruit , vegetables ,s pices and coffe have become more popualr .
-These foods are often grown in LICs (e.g Ethiopia and then exported to HICs, UK).
- For more imports into the UK
SEASONAL PRODUCTS .
-Seasonal food is only available during the months that it grows .
-Fuirt and vegetables are imported to meet the demand for seasonal produce all yer round - strawberries from mexico .
- For mroe imports into the UK
ORGANIC PORDUCE
-Poeple are becoming more concerned about the environmental impacts of food porduciton ,a nd how chemicals can affect their health .
-As organic food porduction is strictlyr egualted (e.g noa rtfical fertilisers used ), demand is growing .
-Some organic food is prdocued int he Uk , but has lots is imported.
The carbon footprint of our food is growing (1)
1.Thr growing , porcessing and packaging of food porduces XCO2 , and other greenhouse gases .
-up to 10% of the UK’S total grenhouse gas emissions in 2017 came directly froma griculture .
The carbon footprint of our food is growing (2)
Tranporting food from where it is grown to where it is sold also produce CO2 .
-THe distance food is transported to the market is called its food miles . More food miles means more co2 is porduced .
The carbon footprint of our food is growign (3)
The amount of greenhosue gas porduced whilst growing , packagign and transporitng a food is called its crbon foortping . A larger carbon footrpitn emans more greenhosue gases and more glbal warming .
The carbon footprint of our food is growign (4)
Imported foods have to eb tranpsorted a long way , so manny food miles and a large carbon footprint.
The carbon footprint of our food si groiwng (5)
People are beocming aware of the environmental issues cuase dby transporting over long ditances .
-ThiS LEADING PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR LOCAL SOURCES OF FOOD LIEK FAMRER’S AMRKETS ,F ARMSHOPS AND LOCAL PRODUCE .
Farming is becoming more inudstrialised
-Since the 1960S , there has been growthin AGRIBUSINESS in the UK .
-AGRIBUSINES - is lrge scle industrial , farming where all prodcsses , fromt he production of seeds and fertilisers to the porcessing n packaging of the food , are controlledb y alrge firms . This emans tht farms in the UK have een chanign .
uk farm fact (1)
-farm size have increase d, anys mall farms have been akne over , and field sizes increased so that food can be produced more chepaly .
uk farm fact (2)
-The amount of chemicals used in food porduction has been icnresing .
-Large quantities of artifical fertilisers and pesticides are applied to crops and animals are given specil feed to encourgae growth .
uk farm fact (3)
the number of workes employed in agriculture fell to just over 1.1% of the uks total meployment in 2017 ,
-This pis partlybecuase of the greater use of machinery (planting and harvesitng . )
Problem with uk average annual rainfall
the north and west of the uk have a hihg raianfall .
-These are areas of wter supplus (greater supply than demand.)
-The Southe east and the midlands have high population densities ,s o there is a high demand for water .
-They are areas of water ddficit (greater demand than supply .)
Demand for water in the UK is icncreasing
-since 1975 , the amount of water used by households in the UK has gone up by 70 % . This is partly becuse poeple have more appliacnes thatus elots of eate rlike dishasher s.
-Uks opoulitons has predicteld to be over 73 million by 2040 .
-Population densities are also changing . There are plants to build lots of new homes in the osuth west WHERE TEHERE IS ALSREADY A WATER DEFICIT
Water pollution needs to be managed
-pollted or low quality water reduces the amount of water availabe for use , putting pressureo n water resources .
-Overall , the wuality of river water in the uk ahs been imporving but ther eis sitll prolem s.
PROBELMS OF WATER POLLUTION
Nitrates and phosphates from crop fertilsiers are wshed into rivers nd groundater .
-Pollutnts form vehicles re washed into water sources thourgh runoff when it rains .
-Chemicals nd oil spills formf actoires can poollute local waer osurces and ground ewater .
yer pollution needs to be managed
-up to 80 percen tof water in partso southern england come from groundwater . But pollution is ffection the water quality of near hal of groudneater used fo public supply int he uk SO many suppies hve clsoed nd exoenvie treatment is needed to amke them safe to use .
-Strategies to manage qater qulaity include imporving drainage systmes an dimpsoign regulaitons on the amount and types of fertisliers an dpesticied use d.
water transfers can help maintian supplies
one osltuion to the supplya dndemand porblem is to transger water form reas of surplus to areas of deficit . (like from brigmigham an area o deficit ) is supplied with water fromw ales 9areas of surplus )
issues with water transfers int he uk

-politicla issues , people mn not want hier wter transferred to another area .
how has uks energy mix changed (1)
traditionally uk relied on fiossil fuels , in 1975 , most ofu ourenergy ninety percent came form coal and oil
-Disovery of large gas reserves under the north sea meant that 22 percent o the uks enery supplied by gas .
-
recentlt ehrehsas beena s hitft from buring fossil fules to renewbae resources os bu 2025 all coal fired power stations iwll close and wind and biornergy are the bigest sourceso f renables ut soalr and hep has also icnresed.

what is fracking
fracking is a wy of extracitng shale grass. Natrual gas is trapped udeground in shal rock in 2017, work began oat a siteo n Preston new roasd near Blackpool in lancashire
-Lquid is pumped into shae rocka t high prersssure causin g the ock to crack releasing the gas which is then collected as it comes back out of the well .
advantages of shale gas FRACKING
-lots availbe 5 trillion in lanchasire
-iincreases uks energy securitya s fossil fuel declines
-gas is less polluting thqan other fuels , ewlwases haf the co2 of coal .
-chepaer than renwables but cost more to ecrsact it .
DISADVANATGES OF FRAC KING
Gas is not a sustaiable energys ource . It is non-renwbale so it releases co2 and when it is burned it conteirbutes to glloabl warmging .
-frkcking risks pollutng ground ater dirnking water and the air .
-uses lotso f water .
-lots o people agaisnt it as it can cause earthuqakes

PHYSICAL FACTORS THAT CAUSE FOOD INSECURITY
CLIMATE - countires iwth cliamtes that re unsuitable for farming (too cold) , can’t grow too mucuh food . Extreme eather events like floods and droughts cn also effect food supply .
WATER STRESS- areas wih low rainfall or litle water for irrigition struggle to grow enough food .
-PESTS AND DISEASES - pests reduce yeilds by consumin crops . Dieases can cuse a lot of damage if they spread thorugh the vrops and liviestock .
HUMAN FACTORS THAT CAUSE FOOD INSECURITY
POVERTY - people living in poverty often don’t hve t hier own land to grow food . Poverty can also affect poeple’s ability to farm effectively (may not be able to buy feriltisers or pesticied ) globally some countires cant imprto food .
-TECHNOGLOG - mechanisation of equipment increases porductiivity making farming more efficent . New technologies can INCREASE YIELFD SNF HRLP PTOYRVY STMTD THIS IS GOOD CUSDE .
-Cponflict - fighting ma damage agricultural land or mkr it unsfate . Acess to food becomes difficut for poeple who are forced to fllee thier homes . COnflicts aslo mkei t idfficlut to iprot food becuse trade routes idrsupted with suppyl coutires .
- food insecurity has negativ impacts
FAMINE - SERIOUS LACK OF FOOD lead to stavtiona nd death . In somalia nearly 300k died cue of dfamine cuz of drought .

exam question
EValuate the sucess of a large scale agriculatural scheme you havee studied .
There are two challenges in menges in making sure that food supplies are sustainable .
-Growing enough food to now feed a rising population .
-Making sure that the foo denvironment isn’t damaged in the process , so that enough good can continue to be grown to feed fututre generations .
Why is industrial agriculture bad for the environment
industrial ageiculture is intensive large scale foood production .
-It does a googd jobo f porducing food now , bt it has a negaitv impac on the neviornment affecitng our ability to produce food in the future .
-For example industiral agriculutre uses 7-0 PERCENT of the world’s fresh water supply and releies on chemical peticides nd artificla fertilers . This CAN makes oil less porductive by permanently removing nutrients .
an exmpale of low impact frming amkes food supplies more sustainabale 1. ORGANIC FRMING
-Organc farming uses natrual processes to treturn nutrients ot the soil , so that crops cnc ontinue to g be grown . 9e.g crops , animlas andare rotated and natural fertilisers (like cow manure) are used - this can be less damaging to the environment .
-artifical herbicides and pestricdes are restricted and animlas are not given extra supplements or vaccinations . This reduces the relicance on unsustainable resources and can portect biodiversity .
-Organic famrers are encourgaed to sell their porduce close to where it is roduced , reducing the mount of road and air transport reqruied .
an exmpale of low impact frming amkes food supplies more sustainabale . 2.Permaculture
-Permaculture aims to porduce food in a way that recreates naural ecisystem ina n effort to protect the soil , insects nd other wildlfie .
-Food porducion is designed to be low mintennace and to keep soils helthys o crops can coninute to be gorwn . Sieveral methods that can be used for this include
Mixed Cropping - planting crops o fdifferent heights and different types ae rown in one are . This means gthe availe space and light are used better ,t here are fewer pests and diseases and less watering is reqruied .
-Natrual predtors - introuding ntural predators reduces the needs of rpesticed like frogs can be used to control slugs .
an exmpale of low impact frming amkes food supplies more sustainabale . 3. Urban farming initiatives
-Urban farmining initiatives sue empty land , roof tops and balconies to grow food and rise animals in twns .
-Urban farming amkes food locally availavle reduing th eneed to transport it to long distances .
-This means it is often freshsher and more nutirtous and can also be cheaper- imporving the food escurity of poorer residents .
-iT ALSO ADDS GREENERGY TO CITITRES , AMKING THEM HEALTHIER ND MORE ATTRACTIVE TO PLACES TO LIVE AND MAKE URBAN AREAS LESS DEPENDNTO N INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE .
fOOD SUPPLIES MOE SUSTINABLE IS NO TJUST ABOUT USING BETTER GROWING TECHNIQUES , changing the way we consume food can also have an effect .
…
Fish from sustinable resources
-Many fish species ae at a risk fromo ver-fishing , du to increased consumption . Sustaianable fishing includes catch quotas that limit the mount of fish taken nd fishing method that are less harmful to the enviornment .
-Labellling allows consumers to choose fish that have been fished sustainably .
Meat from sustaianable resources
Raising animal for meat is bd for the environment -e.g forests re often cleared to make space for cattle ,a d animlas produce methne (a green house gas).
-However , met porduction can be made more sustaianable , for exmpale by feedign animals on locallys ourced rather than iported food ,a nd by ensnuring that alll edible parts of the nimal are eaten .
-Research suggests that adding a small amount of seaweed to normal cattle feed can reduce hteir methane emissions .
seasonal food consumption
In many HICS people expect to be able to get foods they like all year round .
-These food have to be mported when theya re not availae locally but are imported all year round form warmee coutnries like spaina nd greece .
-This is not sustainaable . As transport adds food miles and icnreases the food’s crbon footrpint ,a dding to gloobal warming .
-Eating sesaonlly mens onlye ating food locallyat that timeo f eyar , redcuign the amount of food that is improted .
Reduced waste and losses
-globally one third of th food is porduced is lost or wasted .
-reducing this will men that less needs ot be grown .
-Schemes sucha s Think , Eat save and loe food hate waste encourgae indivuals and businesa nd governemnt to wste less food .
-EXAMPLE by helping people plan better and share recipe ideas or using up leftovers .
-Mnay spermarkes int he uk also work with chaities to distirbute wste food tot hose in nened .
