- D. Food processing technology
Answer
The correct answer is Climate changes.
Explanation
The correct option is Climate changes. Climate changes is correct because it directly matches 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 belongs to Resource management within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Resource management, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
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.
