Anna Rupert: Land Degradation & Definition

# data[].attributes.body
Land degradation, or the declining on soil quality,  is an environmental issue because it affects natural resources and the environments and people that depend on them.

My own definition of Sustainable Agriculture:
A way of producing food that cares for and improves the environment, people's lives, and the economy in the long term.

# data[].attributes.body
In many countries growing there own food is very difficult because of unpredictable climate and drought. if your growing a cool climate crop and a unpredictable heat wave comes in than those crops are going to die. In many underdeveloped countries growing there own produce is there main source of food.

Water pollution is an environmental issue because it brings a threat to humans, animals, and the environment. Polluted water can contain disease that can prove fatal.

# data[].attributes.body
Land degradation is when soil gets worse due to the things that the environment is doing to it. Without healthy soil, we cant grow plants, food, feed animals, and more problems like that

# data[].attributes.body
My modern agriculture challenge is hunger and I believe it belongs under the economic section because one of the main causes of hunger is inflation, which makes it difficult for people to afford nutritious food.

# data[].attributes.body
Urbanization is an economic issue more than it is a social or environmental issue as the leading reason for why people migrate from rural to urban areas is job opportunities. Urbanization is caused due to people migrating from a rural area into an urban area for economic success resulting in this being an economic issue first and foremost.

Sustainable Agriculture can be defined, in my opinion, as a process in which a farmer can maintain health of their herd, crops, or soil in a economically friendly and beneficial way.

# data[].attributes.body
I have water pollution as my challenge, and water pollution affects society because water is an everyday necessity we need. We use water for drinking, washing, use to grow food, etc. If our water is contaminated then our society can become ill and it can become dangerous for us to eat crops, natural foods, and drink water/wash/etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Fossil Fuel dependence is a economic problem because fossil fuels are non renewable they cannot be replaced because of the mass mining of fossil fuels has gotten progressively more difficult and expensive because of our high demand/ dependence of the resources .

# data[].attributes.body
Overpopulation fits into the economic challenges which the world faces, the more people there are, the more money you are going to have to make to provide food to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
Water Pollution

Having safe and clean water is environmentally important because it is a natural resource. Without having clean water the environment's health will decline and it will bring a threat to humans and all living things in that environment.

Rylie Buechler: The Double Burden of Malnutrition 

# data[].attributes.body
The Double Burden of Malnutrition is economic based because the main reason people struggle with obesity or complete malnutrition is because they don't have money to purchase better food and don't get the nutritions that they need.

Ethan Hopkins: The double burden of Malnutrition

# data[].attributes.body
The double burden of Malnutrition falls under social because it affects people who don't eat enough and people who eat too much. It affects people a lot because obesity is the 5th leading factor for global deaths. It affects agriculture because more resources are going to the wrong places instead of the people who need food

Dependance on fossil fuels - Riley Clark

# data[].attributes.body
The dependence on fossil fuels has a social impact because it makes it more difficult to provide the most food to the most amount of people cheaply. Some people cannot easily afford it, and they are impacted by the fossil fuel dependency because food prices rely on gas prices.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is an environmental challenge because it effects ecosystems and weather as well as crop growth. This heavily impacts the environment as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Water is a big part of are world and with out it we would not have a very healthy environment. We could not drink it on are every day basis or water the plants that we thrive off of every day .

# data[].attributes.body
Fossil fuels are an environmental cost and it produces greenhouse gas into the air which is an environmental issue.

# data[].attributes.body
The Double Burden of Malnutrition Issue is Economic because some countries are wealthier than others leading to nicer restaurants and healthier foods. Those who can't afford restaurants tend to go to fast food restaurants or affordable restaurants. This causes obesity.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it belongs in this category because people are being killed and becoming very sick from polluted water. also people are using polluted water to feed animals and water crops. its killing the crops and sickening the animals.  Polluted water makes it very hard to survive in many countries so that is why i think its a social problem.

Definition of sustainable ag: Finding a way to satisfy people with the food produced but without using dangerous substances.

Joyful Thompson: The Double Burden of Malnutrition

# data[].attributes.body
The double burden of Malnutrition would fall under economic because a majority of the people that struggle with being obese or malnourished live in developing countries and aren't able to afford healthier and better options. Even with countries that are overpopulated and constantly developing new housing and building its creates less land for farmer to be able to use to provide proper products/food.

# data[].attributes.body
Water scarcity is an environmental issue because water is needed to keep people healthy and hydrated as well as plants/crops so without it life could not be sustainable.

# data[].attributes.body
Urbanization falls under the category of economic because it's the reason why people migrate from a rural area into an urban area for economic success.

Sustainable Agriculture in my opinion can be defined as a process where a farmer can maintain the health of their crops, soil, and livestock in an economical and beneficial way.

# data[].attributes.body
Urbanization fits the definition of economic because of the lack of money/resources farmers are being provided in today's society. During the 1st industrial revolution farmers increasingly declined due to the shift in economical wealth from farming to factory employees. This is still very similar to today's society with farmers being under paid and not receiving their fair share of the crops they grew. Urbanization is the process by which a rural land is taken up to build housing, making it more urban.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable agriculture is to take care of your natural resources and produce products that are beneficial to the environment, the consumers, and the farmers.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable ag is The way plants and crops are grown efficiently, viably, under good control, and high quality products, then make sure they go to good places.

# data[].attributes.body
Sustainable Ag is when farmers can produce high quality food that's not only good for you but is also harmless to the land and environment, so it doesn't pollute our air or soil.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable agriculture is a food system that doesn't harm our environment/our health. Taking care of our soil in a way that can help us and others, while also being good for businesses.

# data[].attributes.body
Sustainable agriculture is not always worrying about the money and profit today but looking forward to the future and ensuring the viability of your ranch, to ensure that the soil is healthy for future generations and providing consumers with the best quality product .

# data[].attributes.body
Sustainable ag is doing things such as growing food and using natural resources to better the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
agricultural sustainability is making and producing healthy beautiful food without harming any environment.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable agriculture is taking care of the water around us, the soil that we use to grow crops in, and using less pesticides to protect our environment, and help the farmers and the people around us.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of Sustainable Agriculture: Is being able to have diverse products, and being able to take care of the soil and water quality. Sustainable farm.

# data[].attributes.body
climate change can be considered an environmental challenge because it effects how much water is distributed in different places etc. it effects each and every environment in its own unique way.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable agriculture is creating a food system that is safe for the environment and healthy for the community. Being productive with land, soil and natural resources

# data[].attributes.body
Water scarcity, the major lack of water, is an economic challenge and I believe this because not everyone has easy access to clean water. But more and more people have worked to find ways to bring water to areas that desperately need water. For example, collecting rainwater in big containers.

# data[].attributes.body
Population growth goes under environmental issue because with how the population is growing right now in developing countries the less land we will have on those developing countries to grow enough food for everyone to be healthy. Also the more people farmers have to feed but the farmers are not using sustainable practices the worse our soil is going to get for the future generations, the worse the soil the worse the food then the whole food chain is destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is an environmental issue because climate change has been reducing water in some parts. But in other parts there is flooding, but when flooding happens it damages plants roots.

# data[].attributes.body
Sustainable Agriculture is finding clean ways to produce food, livestock, and other needs, while being good for business and for the land so that future generations can continue to use it.

# data[].attributes.body
My challenge is Urbanization. I think urbanization fits into socialization because it is a problem to the people the most. We are taking jobs from the farmers and taking their land just to put in Starbucks and in-n-out at every corner. Instead of those we could be building more houses for the people who gave up their land. This is more of a social problem compared to Environmental since it has more effect on people.

# data[].attributes.body
My definition of sustainable Ag is plants grown effectively, and sustainable solutions that help farms. I also believe it is maintaining the pressure of food and production. It is also a method of family that does not degrade the environment and it can be continued indefinitely.

# data[].attributes.body
A system of agriculture that is self reliant and replenishing

Sustainable agriculture is about farming in a regenerative way in which you can keep your land healthy whilst keeping your farm up and running. In sustainable agriculture it is important to best use your resources. Using things such as animals and cover crops to keep life in all things, including microorganisms in soil, is important in sustainable agriculture.

I believe my topic population growth belongs under this tab because with and influx in growth causes for a demand of food and housing, with massive amounts of people causes poverty because of the mass amount of needed jobs increasing and the amount of violence will increase because of the demand to survive in over populated places. people need to eat to survive and when that is at stake because of the lack of transportation that can cause lots of problems down the road.
