Question
- A. Use of synthetic fertilizers
- B. Emphasis on biodiversity
- C. High reliance on pesticides
- D. Monoculture practices
Answer
The correct answer is Emphasis on biodiversity.
Explanation
The correct option is Emphasis on biodiversity. Emphasis on biodiversity is correct because it directly matches 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 belongs to Food (optional route) 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 Food (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
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.
