Global food system.

                                     Food is a big problem. Kinda? -  Victoria Olivarez 

       The world is having a big food global problem, which can also be called “production, processing, and distribution of food throughout the world” which is said in this website that is linked. The organization called Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is having four dimensions. Which is Increased Biofuel Production which indicates being harmful to plants, animals, corn, and palm oil. Which has made it a lot harder for small farmers to do their thing and maintain control of their property. Also, limited food access is also an issue, many people suffer from chronic undernourishment and about 15% suffer from lack of food in their in home. Which you can also find in the reading. Meanwhile this has been a problem for awhile now and the farm policy that runs on sweets, fats, and meats which cut costs to hopefully gain some prices back.

    I really liked the way it is written because It's an easy and understandable text to read. The only thing I would say about this text, I think you should have developed a little bit more on the issues.

    Yes, sad that there is even substantial food insecurity in the US. Some of it "temporary" from the virus, but some still long term.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
