  • While supplements and fortification play one role in health needs, he says that fertilizers can make seeds and grains more productive, improve the quality of nutrient uptake, and increase nutrient absorption.

      Connection to soil components from the lab. Potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen all affect the soil and help the crops that are planted in the soil to grow strong, mature faster, and take in the necessary nutrients it needs.
  • constrained
  • Agriculture is constrained by land and water shortages, complex demands of the food cycle, and climate change.

      Connection with water conservation and usage. There is a water shortage so conservation techniques need to be used like drip irrigation in order for plants to get the amount of water they need and to grow up healthy so that there is a healthy food source for us to eat.

      Connection to soil. Potassium is a component in the soil that helps plants to grow strong and to help fight off disease, so perhaps more potassium and other nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen in the soil will save the crops from disease this way there will be more healthy crops for humans to eat.

      This talks about the effects that salinity in the soils have on the production of food crops.
  • salinity exacerbate existing food insecurity and vulnerability problems, and are serious threats to the production of major world food crops such as wheat, rice and maize
  • soil scientists, plant nutritionists and plant breeding and genetic scientists work together to bring about solutions and hope to farmers in areas that are vulnerable to soil fertility and environmental stresses

  • Salt, drought and nutrient resilience crops are being developed by plant breeders
  • grown in the field using good soil nutrient and water management packages that are tailor-made to local growing conditions

      This is talking about how they are trying to make sure that they can reduce the salinity in soils to make sure that the food products are okay to consume.
  • problems, and are serious threats to the production of major world food crops such as wheat, rice and maize. It is estimated that over 77M ha of land is devastated by drought, salinity and nutrient deficiencies that are brought about by long-term nutrient mining and climate change and variability.

      we did a lab over how too much soil salinity can disrupt the germination of crop seeds and therefore reduce production of food. this might one day lead to world hunger
  • bility. Using these technologies, soil scientists, plant nutritionists and plant breeding and genetic scientists work together to bring about solutions and hope to farmers in areas that are vulnerable to soil fertility and environmental stresses.

  • Salt, sugar, and corn syrup are by far the most widely used
  • Our ancestors discovered that large amounts of sugar helped preserve fruits.

      meat is taken from cattle, which produce methane, which contributes to global warming.
  • FSIS may apply even stricter standards that take into account the unique characteristics of meat, poultry, and egg products.

      industrialization contributed to an increase in pollution in cities because food was now being mass poduced in factories. pollution contributes to the greenhouse effect

  • During the early part of the first century in America, people lived off the land.

      because people lived off of the land and only grew food, they knew where the best soil to grow crops was located also, they had to know the amount of sunlight, and water given to the crops, and they were discovering agriculture methods
  • They grew their own foods or bought them from someone they knew and trusted.
  • more industrialized, the number of people who produced their own foods decreased drastically.
  • meat, poultry, or egg product,
  • food industry to produce and distribute its food.
  • 1906 Federal Food and Drug Act.
  • chemicals that were illegal to add to foods, such as borax or formaldehyde.
  • responsibility for proving their safety was placed on the manufacturer.

  • commonly used flavorings and spices to phosphates and carrageenan.
  • ingredients statement in order by weight, from the greatest amount to the least.
  • used primarily for their flavor contribution and not their nutritional contribution.
  • They must be labeled using the species of origin of the additive, for example, dried beef, chicken stock, pork extract, or hydrolyzed wheat protein.
