What are two reasons for the increasing food consumption globally?

Two reasons for increasing food consumption globally are economic development, which leads to higher incomes and greater purchasing power, and rising population, which increases the demand for food.

A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to explain reasons for increasing food consumption including economic development and rising population. 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 reasons, and keeps the explanation inside AQA GCSE Geography 8035.
