L4 impacts of attempts to increase global food supply 2015
The document discusses two viewpoints on how increasing global food supply impacts the environment: Malthus' view that population growth would outstrip food supply growth, and Boserup's view that technological innovation could increase yields. It then instructs students to draw a table to investigate methods of increasing food production, including expanding cattle, GMOs, and organic farming. Students are assigned readings on specific methods and asked to add information to the table on environmental impacts.
What did you have for dinner? Empirical questions and procedures
This document summarizes a presentation given by Prof. Jean-Pierre Poulain on collecting and analyzing food consumption data. It discusses the challenges of obtaining accurate data through questionnaires and interviews given differences between reported norms and actual practices. Poulain analyzed food diaries from French students and found their reported lunches did not match reconstructed accounts, with reported meals being more standardized. His work shows the importance of using multiple methods like observations and interviews to understand relationships between social factors, food norms, and consumption behaviors.
Genetic editing
The document discusses genetic editing and transgenic organisms. It began with the Human Genome Project which sequenced genomes to better understand diseases and their cures. This led to other projects and more research using transgenic organisms which contain DNA from multiple sources. While some object for religious or safety reasons, transgenic organisms like zebrafish are commonly used in experiments. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with new genes are also commercially available, though some have safety concerns. The research aims to address increasing food and disease burdens as the human population grows.

importance of biology and biological observations.pptx
Evolution is the process of change that has transformed life on Earth over time. It explains how organisms adapt to their environments through natural selection, leading to both unity and diversity among living things. Studying biology allows us to better understand nature, explore phenomena, and drive innovation through fields like agriculture, medicine, environmental monitoring, and forensics. The scientific method involves making observations, asking questions, forming hypotheses, experimentation, analysis, and using results to support or contradict hypotheses. Careful observations have revealed important conclusions and led to new areas of scientific inquiry.

In the last 50 years, the Green Revolution increased crop yields, increasing food security and incomes of rural households and largely averted anticipated famines. The emphasis of agricultural research then was on quantity and macronutrients but left quality mostly left untouched. In recent years, however, the emphasis has shifted to food quality, focusing on improving the nutrient content of staple crops, improved food processing and safety, and ultimately dietary diversity in vulnerable populations, in particular with amino acids and micronutrients (especially zinc, iron and vitamin A), but also to dietary diversity. From a focus on production of cereals and staples, research now includes food processing and consumption, and follows the value chain from rural producers to urban consumers.
Economic analysis and impact assessment in the days of the green revolution was relatively straight forward: observations of yield increases from the new technologies were combined with estimation of adoption levels and costs lead to benefit cost analysis and impact assessment. Impact on food security was mostly assessed by calculating the increased amount of calories available per person, and impact on poverty by estimated the increased incomes of rural households and the decreased poverty rates.
The impact assessment of the new nutrition-sensitive agricultural technologies is not as straightforward as that of the green revolution and has required new interdisciplinary methodological developments. How do we measure increases in food quality and dietary diversity? How can we estimate the value of those changes to the consumer? How can we assess the impact of the improved food quality on health? And how do we value the improved health at the individual, household and population level?
This presentation discusses recent methods and their application on a range of new nutrition-sensitive agricultural technologies including biofortified maize varieties such as quality protein maize and orange maize with provitamin A carotenoids, agronomic biofortification with zinc, and hermetic storage of maize to reduce insect damage and mycotoxin contamination.

The Green Revolution led to the development of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of crops through top-down approaches like the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). HYVs dramatically increased yields but also increased farmers' dependence on external inputs and destroyed traditional agriculture. While HYVs were initially adopted due to increased yields and profits, they have been criticized for increased costs, pest susceptibility, and environmental impacts. More participatory approaches like participatory plant breeding aim to empower small farmers and encourage traditional practices.

This document discusses soil organisms and their importance for soil health. It describes the different types of soil life from micro to macro organisms. Soil is teeming with life, with a single teaspoon containing billions of bacteria and thousands of pounds of fungi per acre. Soil organisms perform vital functions like nutrient cycling, maintaining soil structure, symbiotic nutrient exchange, and disease suppression. Management practices like no-till, complex crop rotations, cover crops, and organic amendments can improve soil life and its functions. Maintaining diverse, abundant soil life is key to increasing soil and crop productivity over the long term.
1Human Genome Project1
This document discusses new scientific discovery paths and applications that have been enabled by the completion of the Human Genome Project. It outlines four main scientific discovery paths: exploring how DNA impacts health; understanding what all genes do; learning what the non-gene regions of the genome do; and understanding how the genome enables life. It also discusses diverse applications of DNA data and technologies in areas like medicine, energy/environment, agriculture, and identification. The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 provided the foundation for these new areas of exploration and use, but much is still unknown that remains to be discovered.
How to Grow More Vegetables
This document provides a historical overview of Ecology Action and the development of the Grow Biointensive method from 1972 to 1983. It describes how Ecology Action began research on a 2-acre garden in Palo Alto, California in 1972 to test economic mini-farming techniques. Over the following years, Ecology Action published books and materials on the Biointensive method, expanded their research and apprenticeship programs, and helped spread information about sustainable agriculture worldwide. The organization moved its site to Willits, California in 1982 where it continued developing the Grow Biointensive method.

L6 ap 2014 dangers of mountain env
Mountain environments pose several dangers including cold temperatures, steep terrain, avalanches, and severe weather. Despite these risks, many people are drawn to mountains for recreation like skiing and tourism which provides economic benefits but also puts more lives at risk. When visiting mountains, it is important to be aware of potential hazards from the environment and weather and take proper precautions for protection and survival.
L4 avalanches ap
An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a steep mountain slope. Avalanches are typically triggered by heavy snowfall, strong winds, or human activity such as skiing or climbing. When triggered, an avalanche can move at speeds up to 200 km/h, destroying everything in its path. Avalanches pose serious dangers to those caught in their path who may be killed or injured by the force of the moving snow.
L1. introduction to mountain environments ap
This document provides information about mountain environments and includes several learning activities. It begins with an introduction to the key characteristics of mountain environments and includes a virtual field trip. Students are then assigned a mini research project on a particular mountain. The rest of the document outlines several challenge activities for students to complete, including identifying mountain ranges on a map, learning fun facts about mountains, watching a video to describe feelings, and reading an extract about being stranded on a mountain. The overall purpose is to broaden students' knowledge of mountain environments through various learning exercises.
Glacier and corrie formation ap
Glaciers form through the accumulation of snow in mountainous areas. When snow falls during winter and does not melt during cold spring and summer months, it compacts into dense ice over many years under its own weight. Additional layers of snow become compressed into ice, which causes the air to be squeezed out, turning the glacier a blue color. The large mass of ice then flows down the mountain under its own weight, eroding the landscape through two main processes - plucking and abrasion. Plucking involves rocks becoming frozen to the base of the glacier and breaking away as it moves. Abrasion occurs as rocks and debris carried on the glacier's bottom scrape along the valley floor, slowly excavating and shaping the land over
Mountain building
Fold mountains are formed over millions of years when two tectonic plates collide and push material upwards, creating mountain ranges. The largest fold mountains include the Himalayas, Alps, Andes, Rockies, and Urals. Fold mountains are formed through the upward and downward folding of crustal material. Once formed, mountains undergo weathering and erosion that slowly shape the landscape over time.
L2 growth of brighton ap
Brighton has a long history as a popular seaside resort town on the southern coast of England. It was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086 and saw growth as a fishing and port town in the 16th-17th centuries. In the 18th century, doctors began promoting the health benefits of sea bathing, attracting more visitors. Major growth occurred in the 19th century with the construction of the Brighton Pavilions by the Prince of Wales in 1787 and the arrival of the London to Brighton Railway in 1841, opening the town to day trippers. The development of tourism infrastructure like the two piers further increased visitor numbers. Today, tourism remains a vital part of Brighton's economy.
L4 multiculturism in brighton
Globalization has caused increased migration and a multicultural Britain. It refers to how people and companies are becoming more connected globally through improved transportation like airplanes and container ships. This has made it easier for people to move between countries for work or a better life. As a result, Britain has seen large numbers of migrants come from countries like India, Pakistan, Poland and Ireland, changing the cultural makeup of the country. This has resulted in both positive and negative effects of an increasingly multicultural society in Britain.
L3 rebranding 2014
This document discusses rebranding of places and provides examples. It defines rebranding as redeveloping and marketing a place to give it a new identity to attract new investors and visitors. Examples discussed include Miley Cyrus rebranding herself, and the recent rebranding of Kingston Market. Students are asked to consider why places like towns or seaside resorts may want to rebrand. The document also discusses the proposed rebranding of the West Pier area in Brighton and having students design a questionnaire to collect public opinions on the rebranding.
Food lesson 2 ap
- There are two main types of farming: arable farming, which involves growing crops, and pastoral farming, which involves rearing animals. Some farms practice mixed farming with both crops and livestock.
- Arable farming is more common in southeast England where the land is flat, fertile, and has a warm climate and good transportation. Pastoral farming is found more in southwest England where the climate is warm and wet, even if the land is hilly.
- Organic farming avoids artificial fertilizers and pesticides and uses crop rotation to maintain soil fertility.
Diversification
Farm diversification is when farmers grow multiple crops and agricultural products on their land rather than specializing in one main crop. Traditionally, farms focused on a single product like dairy or livestock but now many farms are diversifying their offerings in response to changing market prices. Diversification allows farms to continue making money by providing a variety of agricultural goods and experiences to attract visitors.
L3 food miles
Food miles refer to the distance food travels from field to plate. Longer food miles contribute significantly to carbon dioxide emissions that cause climate change. The document discusses how most fruit and vegetables in the UK are now imported, having doubled since the 1990s, and imports are predicted to continue rising. It identifies several causes for this increase in food imports and miles, including lower costs, consumer demand for out-of-season foods, some foods not being able to be grown in the UK, supermarket desires for higher profits, and improved transportation technology. Potential positive and negative impacts of increased food miles are also mentioned.
Year 9 rf revision 2015
To revise key topics in geography including physical landscapes, glaciation, population, development, and tourism. The document provides revision materials such as diagrams, videos, exercises, and practice questions to help students review these concepts in preparation for an assessment. Interactive activities include matching processes of glaciation to their order, identifying features in photographs, and playing geography taboo to review terms related to development. The goal is to strengthen students' understanding of these interrelated topics through multi-modal learning and self-testing activities.
L6 tsunami ap
This document provides information about tsunamis, including what causes them, how they occur, and details about the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It aims to teach students about tsunamis through defining key terms, having students watch explanatory videos, modeling a hypothetical tsunami using play dough to demonstrate the wave's destructive power, and role playing a television news script about the 2004 event.
L7 hazard research ap
