This course covers the topic of food resource management for Paper 2 of the AQA GCSE Geography exam. Topics discussed include natural resources, the UK's resources and food management. This course does not cover case study topics that arise on the exam.
Natural resources can be biotic, abiotic, renewable, or non-renewable. Natural resources provide us with food, water and energy. These are the things we need to survive on this planet.
This module contains Flashcards. These cards will help you remember many of the key terms and phrases we will be using in a discussion of natural resources and resource management.
This Mindmap is a visual illustration of the effects of resource management on the natural landscape. By extracting oil, building solar farms or even growing crops, we greatly alter the environment where we are working.
Over the years, demands have changed, as have the technology, political and transportation factors which make our consumption levels possible. In a global landscape, a citizen of the UK can have a banana in December. This was not always the case.
Answer these ten short questions to help revise what we have covered so far in this course. These questions are related to the transportation of materials we use everyday and the processes that we use to manage resources.
Global food supply is a complicated business. As the world's population grows and countries develop along with transport routes, there are increasing demands made on the environment. How do we manage these supplies?
In the West, we think of food as bountiful and filling the shelves of every supermarket. However, famine and malnutrition still effects huge parts of the world. Droughts and conflicts are just two factors which can drive a famine.
These questions will test your knowledge of food supply and the variables effecting food resource management. There are ten questions which will help you to become an expert on global food resource management.
