Year 9 Geography
The challenges to food production, including land and
water degradation, shortage of fresh water, competing
land uses, and climate change, for Australia and other
areas of the world. (ACHGK063)
 exploring environmental challenges to food production
from land degradation (soil erosion, salinity,
desertification), industrial pollution, water scarcity and
climate change
 identifying the impacts on food production from
competing land uses, for example, urban and industrial
uses, mining, production of food crops for biofuels,
production of food crops for livestock, and recreation
(such as, golf courses)
Year 9 Geography
The capacity of the world’s environments to sustainably
feed the projected future population to achieve food
security for Australia and the world.(ACHGK064)
 examining the effects of anticipated future population
growth on global food production and security, and its
implications for agriculture and agricultural innovation
 researching the potential of agricultural production in
northern Australia and identifying how poverty, food
wastage, government policies or trade barriers could
affect future food security

Why is family farming important?
Family farming has an important socio-economic, environmental and
cultural role.
 Family and small-scale farming are inextricably linked to world
food security.
 Family farming preserves traditional food products, while
contributing to a balanced diet and safeguarding the world’s agrobiodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources.
 Family farming represents an opportunity to boost local
economies, especially when combined with specific policies aimed
at social protection and well-being of communities.

The human-induced environmental changes that
challenge sustainability (ACHGK070).

 identifying human-induced environmental changes, for example,
water and atmospheric pollution; loss of biodiversity; degradation
of land, inland and coastal aquatic environments; and discussing
the challenges they pose for sustainability
