Question
What are some sustainable food supply strategies that can be implemented to enhance food security?
Answer
Sustainable food supply strategies include organic farming, which avoids synthetic pesticides and fertilizers; permaculture, which designs agricultural systems that mimic natural ecosystems; and urban farming, which allows food production in city environments. These methods aim to reduce environmental impact and increase local food availability.
Explanation
A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to explain sustainable food supply strategies including organic farming, permaculture, urban farming, sustainable fish and meat, seasonal food consumption, reduced waste and reduced losses. 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 Sustainable Practices
Students often confuse organic farming with permaculture, thinking they are the same.
Clarify that organic farming focuses on avoiding synthetic chemicals, while permaculture is a holistic design system for sustainable agriculture that integrates land, resources, and people.
