Resource Management

6. the distance food travels from source (farm) to consumer (shop) leading to CO2 emissions from transportation
7. Food which is produced using environmentally and animal friendly farming methods on organic farms. Artificial fertilisers are banned and farmers develop fertile soil by rotating crops and using compost, manure and clover. It must be free of synthetic additives like pesticides and dyes.
11. A measurement of all the greenhouse gases we individually produce, through burning fossil fuels for electricity, transport etc, expressed as tonnes (or kg) of carbon-dioxide equivalent.
12. where demand for water exceeds supply (not enough water)
15. The control and monitoring of resources so that they do not become depleted or exhausted.
17. water that has been used in the household that can be recycled and used for other purposes (e.g. shower water)

1. reducing the use of energy to bring demand down
2. when a person has a diet that does not have enough mineral or vitamins, leading to disease and starvation, often in LICs suffering from famine
3. term for an area that is in water deficit
4. a new form of extracting (digging) for natural gas, which is cheap, but negative for the environment because it is fossil fuel and pollutes water sources
5. chemicals used to kill insects that eat farmers crops
8. mass machine produced farming techniques, cheaper but often use chemicals
9. range of different energy sources used by a country
10. a widespread, serious, shortage of food. In the worst cases it can lead to starvation and even death.
13. hard engineering and movement of water from an area of surplus (Lesotho) to an area of deficit (South Africa)
14. where supply of water exceeds demand (too much water)
16. this is compromised (lost) when a country relies on importing (buying) energy from other countries, who then control the supply
