Homework: Future of Food Production & Summing Up the Semester Paper
For our last homework, we`ll be summing up the semester from all you have learned, and adding a bit more. I want you to think about all the homework you completed this semester, including the Country Research Projects 1, 2, and 3, The Malthusian and Updates to Limits paper, Water/Oceans, Rivers, and Food, and Climate Change. This week we`ll be adding the Proposed Solutions for the Future of Food module. Review this module and the variety of new technologies available to improve sustainability and yield in the agriculture industry, while decreasing water usage, fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and environmental damage.
For this homework, review two issues that you discussed in the Country Research Project papers 1-3. This can also include the Climate Change paper, and the Water/Oceans, and Rivers homeworks. Next, discuss how the technologies found in the Proposed Solutions for the Future of Food Module can be used to alleviate or mitigate some of the issues that are occurring in the country you covered. Be creative, but base your discussion with logic. Support your thoughts with research. MAKE SURE TO CITE AND REFERENCE! I am not concerned what format you use, but make sure you cite/reference properly.
