Food demands

• As population grows it increases demand for food, and creates issues with;

  • High value food imports from LICs (because of product itself, being luxury item or in high demand)
  • All year round demand for seasonal and exotic foods (because our climate is unsuitable)
  • Larger carbon footprint (because food travels larger distances)
• Solutions to increased food demand;

  • Grow and source food locally - reduces food miles and lower carbon footprint.
  • Organic produce - without fertilizers
  • Agribusiness - farms run as a business, produce large quantities
