Practise IB ESS SL 005.002.005 by applying agricultural system classification concepts to environmental systems questions.
Figure:World grain production and consumption over time
the grain-production chart shown above shows changes in world grain production and consumption between 1960 and 2006.
Construct a simple diagram to show three inputs that can lead to increases in two outputs in a food production system.
Award [1] for three appropriate inputs.
Award [1] for two appropriate outputs.
Award [1] for drawing which shows flows / arrows into and out of a food production system (do not need to be labelled as flows and storages). Arrows must go in correct direction.
The food production system should be named (e.g. beef production/arable farming) but the name does not need to be in a box.
Do not accept "technology" without a specific example e.g. pest resistant crop seeds. Do not accept "capital" without example of how money is used e.g.
farming labour.
Do not accept 'food' (as either input or output) without specific example (e.g.cattle feed or beef).
Do not credit answers that have similar inputs/outputs (e.g for outputs - (1) fruit and (2) leaves).
Allow any other reasonable example.
