Slide 5 - Quiz

What is changing in the food industry?
Quite a lot: organic framing, large-scale framing and intensification.
Organic farming
Organic farming uses fewer pesticides and gives animals more space
Large-scale farming
Companies make a lot of the same food. This is the most efficient. 
Intensification
Companies that use knowledge and money for higher yields (opbrengsten). They use a lot of modern technology.

Four examples of dealing with food in a sustainable way
  1. Throw away less
  2. Save space by building food factories 
  3. Organic farming
  4. Genetic engineering

Slide 8 - Slide

Sustainable food production
Producing food:
  • Without depleting the land
  • Without depleting natural resources

  • Without polluting the environment
  • Without environmental degradation 

Slide 9 - Slide

1. Throw away less

Slide 10 - Slide

2: Food factories
  • Saving space
  • Better use of light
  • More efficient use of water
''Sla-flat''
Will your lettuce come from a ''sla-flat''?

Food factories
Saving space by building 
food factories

Slide 11 - Slide


3: Organic farming

  • Less or no pesticides
  • Less or no fertilizers 
  • The animals have more space

What is a disadvantage of organic farming?
Non-organic farming

Many animals per hectare
Poor living conditions for the animals
Organic farming

Fewer animals per hectare
Better living conditions for the animals

Slide 12 - Slide

4. Genetic engineering
Modifying crops so that they can cope better with drought and diseases

Slide 13 - Slide

Learning goals
  • You know how you can produce more sustainable food.
  • You understand why more and more space is needed to grow food and in what ways we can deal with food in a more sustainable way.

Slide 14 - Slide

Life span (levensloop) 
  • life time of a product
  • cradle to cradle
  • Recycling

Slide 15 - Slide

Cradle-to-cradle
cradle-to-cradle – Letterlijk: van wieg tot wieg; producten kunnen na gebruik worden hergebruikt in een nieuw product of kunnen als grondstof dienen.

Slide 16 - Slide

Slide 17 - Video

Slide 18 - Slide

Recycling
  • How we take trash and transform it into new products
  • Not everything can be recycled ( too expensive, cost too much energy

Slide 19 - Slide

In the future..
  • Population growth and increase in prosperity 
  • 2050: 70% more food is needed
  • How can we do this without causing environmental degradation
Environmental degradation
Running out of natural resources by means of human use

Sustainable food production
Growing enough food without depleting the nature

Slide 20 - Slide

Cradle to cradle
  • Cradle to  cradle = Van wieg tot wieg
  • A product is designed so that its materials can be repurposed or recycled 

Slide 21 - Slide

Planning 
  • Finish assignments 
  • Complete notes
  • Be sure you finish the gapped summaries
  • Test week 48
