Question

How does climate change impact food supply?

Answer

Climate change can lead to altered weather patterns, which may result in droughts or floods, affecting crop yields. Additionally, it can increase the prevalence of pests and diseases, further threatening food production.

Explanation

A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to explain factors affecting food supply including climate, technology, pests and disease, water stress, conflict and poverty. This question belongs to Food (optional route) 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 supply, and keeps the explanation inside AQA GCSE Geography 8035.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Factors Affecting Food Supply

Students often confuse the factors affecting food supply, such as thinking that only climate impacts food availability, ignoring technology, pests, and other factors.

To fix this, students should create a comprehensive list of all factors affecting food supply, ensuring they understand how each factor contributes to food availability.
