2) Undernourishment is the pain that comes with consuming less food.

3) Africa because most of the continent is very underdeveloped and predominantly poor giving the over saturated population less food to be have a decent standard of living.

4) 2.4M Americans are severely food insecure people.

5) Adequate access to food in both quality and quantity.

6) Latin America and Caribbean Islands has the second highest percentage of food insecurity.

2) 
-Meat Consumption: Cut my serving size of meat in half and to try "meatless mondays."

-Food Waste: Make a grocery list before you go shopping so you're not buying things you won't use and compost or reuse food scraps.

-Food Literacy: Learn what Food Labels really mean and visit the Real Food Encyclopedia.

-Local & Seasonal Sourcing: Shop seasonal and local foods in your region and visit the Real Food Encyclopedia.

-Worker Welfare: Get to know the farm (or farmer's stand) where you buy your food from and look for Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance labels.

-Animal Welfare: Look for Animal Welfare Approved labels on products at the shelf and find a local butcher that reliably sources humanely slaughtered meats.

3) Meatless Monday and portioning out my meat meals better are definitely where I can start. 

4) 

-Which type of food has the highest consumption? Cereal

-Which type of food has the highest production losses? Fruit and Vegetables

-Which type of food has the highest consumer waste? Fruits and Vegetables

5) Food production and waste can lead to high carbon emissions in several ways. Firstly, the use of fossil fuels for machinery, transportation, and processing in the production of food can contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Secondly, when food is wasted and ends up in landfills, it decomposes and produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is about 28 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Finally, the clearing of land for agriculture can lead to deforestation, which not only reduces the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide but also releases stored carbon into the atmosphere.

3) Historically, systemic racism and economic inequality have led to disinvestment in Black and Brown communities, which has resulted in limited access to grocery stores and an over-representation of fast-food chains.

4) 43,000 residents in Houston are without a car and live more than half a mile from a supermarket.

Lowering the cost of clean produce and support restaurants who sell healthier food for cheaper.

pH: Sample 4 had a pH of 7 that was higher than the average of 6.5. It was not an outlier of the data set however.

Nitrogen (N) - Sample 4 was measured at 20 with is less than the given data set. With too little nitrogen the plant shrivels up.

Phosphorus (P) - The phosphorus levels for sample 4 were measured at 75 which is significantly higher than the given set. Too much phosphorus stunts plant growth.

Potassium (K) The potassium was measured at 120. The average is 40-80 and with too much potassium the soil can stop absorbing nutrients.

3) Nutrients can be lost through leaching or crop harvesting/removal. What are some ways to replace these nutrients? Fertilizers are a prime way to replace the nutrients in soil lost due to leaching or crop harvesting.

2) Climate can affect food choice by the food grown and risk of wild fires. 
Government puts tariffs on food to encourage production (Political). 
Some Hindus don't eat beef (Cultural/ Religious).
Short supply of almonds so prices rise so farmers plant more almonds (Socioeconomic).

3)
Maximize Yield- increases in agricultural productivity came from boosts in crop yields, new crop strains, fertilizers, and mechanized agriculture. However, the creation and usage of pesticides have negatively impacted humans.
