Food supply and food insecurity

Figure 13 is a map showing the percentage of households that could not afford a healthy diet in 2020 in selected Asian countries.

Complete Figure 13 using the following data.

Name one country where 60–79.9% of households could not afford a healthy diet in 2020.

How many of the countries shown in Figure 13 had less than 20% of households that could not afford a healthy diet?

Shade one circle only.

What percentage of the 21 countries for which data is shown had less than 20% of households that could not afford a healthy diet?

Answer to one decimal place.

Outline one or more ways that physical factors can affect food supply.

Explain how seasonal food consumption and reducing food waste can lead to increased sustainability of food supply.

Figure 14 is a graph showing the percentage of population who are undernourished in different regions of the world.

Complete Figure 14 below using the following data for Africa.

Using Figure 14, what is the difference in undernourishment between Oceania and Latin America in 2000?

Using Figure 14, describe the trend for Asia 2000–2019.

Outline the link between increasing economic development and rising food consumption.

Explain how a large-scale agricultural scheme has both advantages and disadvantages.

Use an example you have studied.

Study Figure 12, a map of parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The map shows the locust forecast for May–July 2020.

D 6

What percentage of the 25 countries shown had a serious threat level?

Describe the pattern of the threat from locusts shown in Figure 12.

What is food insecurity?

Explain how pests and diseases can affect food supply.

Study Figure 13, information about appropriate technology being used to improve farming in parts of Africa.

Zaï is a farming technique used in the western Sahel region (Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali). It uses holes dug in the soil during the dry season to catch water and concentrate compost.

This is an old technique updated by filling the holes with manure and compost to provide plant nutrients. The manure attracts termites, whose tunnels help break up the soil. Zaï holes improve the yields of trees, sorghum and millet by up to 500 per cent.

To what extent can appropriate technology and other strategies increase food supply?

Use Figure 13 and your own knowledge.

Study Figure 12, a graph showing GNI per person and food consumption per person for selected countries.

Plot the following data on to Figure 12.

Which country is identified by the following data?

Draw a best fit line on Figure 12.

Describe the relationship between GNI and food consumption shown in Figure 12.

Outline one or more reasons for the link between GNI and food consumption.

Give two impacts of food insecurity.

Suggest how food supplies have been made more sustainable.

Use an example of a local scheme in an LIC/NEE.

Complete Figure 11 using the following data.

Describe the distribution of the countries which had 5 –14.9% of their population undernourished between 2016 and 2018 as shown in Figure 11.

Suggest one reason for differences in undernourishment between countries.

What is meant by famine?

Study Figures 12a and 12b.

Figure 12a is a photograph showing The Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in New York, a city in the USA.

Figure 12b is a food label.

Suggest how food supplies can be made more sustainable.

Use Figures 12a and 12b and your own understanding.

Study Figure 11, a graph showing daily protein consumption for selected countries, 1960–2013.
