Question
Explain how agribusiness can address seasonal food demand in the UK.
Answer
Agribusiness can address seasonal food demand by using advanced agricultural techniques such as controlled-environment agriculture, greenhouses, and hydroponics to produce food year-round. This allows for a consistent supply of fresh produce regardless of the season.
Explanation
A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to describe UK food resource issues including high-value food exports, seasonal food demand, organic produce, food miles, local sourcing and agribusiness. This question belongs to Resource management within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the response should use relevant Geography terminology, evidence, and context rather than a generic statement. The model answer is strongest when it names the key idea, links it to food, and keeps the explanation inside AQA GCSE Geography 8035.
Common mistake
Confusing Food Miles with Local Sourcing
Students often confuse the concept of food miles with local sourcing, thinking they are the same thing.
Clarify that food miles refer to the distance food travels from production to consumer, while local sourcing means obtaining food from nearby producers to reduce transportation distance.
