Population, agriculture and Food

Description

Pick one of the three pillars of environmental sustainability (environmental, economic, social) and suggest 3 ways that food production can be increased to meet the demands of an increasing human population.

You are a farmer in Tennessee.  Suggest 2 ways that you and  your farm could engage local people with food projects to meet the food  needs of people.  Be specific, don’t just say “increase food production.”

  • From your perspective, is the human population exceeding our current technology and ability to feed the world?  Be sure to explain your position as this is not a simple “yes or no” question/answer.  Use the Readings and/or PowerPoints.
