Food Production Practices
Traditionally, food is obtained through farming, raisng animals, growing crops and fishing, with other methods of subsistence locally imported for some populations.
Developed countries depend on agriculture, industrial farming, aquaculture and fish-farming for food supply. These techniques aim to maximise the amount fo food produced while minimising the cost.
In developing countries, larger landowners produce food for a global market. These crops are exported for sale to the affluent consumer class in developed countries.
Sometimes problems come about because the land is farmed unstastainably or because it has been converted from forests or woodlands to its present use.
