Year 12 Food production - How can agriculture/farming be made more sustainable? by Lisa Steciuk https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3 en-us 2021-10-14 03:23:30 UTC 2021-10-14 04:15:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Alexis https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815867518 Sustainable Agriculture: The ability to farm and produce without causing harm to the environment as well as ensuring future generations will still be able to benefit from it.

- renewable energy used for machinery. electricity in machinery and tools not from fossil fuels, but from solar panels or wind. 
- wasted or failed crops can be used as biofuel = eliminate waste? also composting, food waste put into the growth of new food]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870026 Marine https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870293 -a minimal amount of energy should be used
-water should be used in moderation and we should make the best use of it(reusing the water in order to minimize wasting) 
-agriculture methods should be sustainable to do in the long-term and fairly simple to carry out. 
-make the most of natural resources such as soil, minimize pesticides.]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870293 Gao https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870480 - use renewable energy -> solar panels / windmills
- use efficient irrigation systems to limit water footprint
- composting wasted food]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870480 AJ https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870856 Agriculture/farming can be made sustainable by reducing the amount of water being used, this can be done by reusing water or trying to reduce the amount of water being used by using a drip irrigation.]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870856 Kirsten https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870929 outputting at least as much energy as you input
so likely trying to reduce unnecessary inputs by recycling water, reducing pesticides/herbicides, reducing energy subsidies, ]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815870929 Honeymay https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815871209 - preserved for future genrations
- increases profitability 
- employs locals which benefit country's employment
- reduces food wwaste in the country as a whole
- uses local energy
-increase profitability of a farm

The ground must be maintained so the quality of soil does not fall. Using the greener fuels for vehicles, maybe autonomous machines. Use unsellable products as fertiliser or compost. ]]> 2021-10-14 03:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815871601 Sharlene https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815871704 - Erosion control to protect soil.
- Reusing water
- Grazing management by using fences.
- Renewable energy]]> 2021-10-14 03:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815871704 Tatiana task23 https://padlet.com/list4/z3r20biy2qi4err3/wish/1815871705 - plant in areas with good climate (tropical) so less energy is used for watering the plants (rainfall).
- Agriculture by a river for plants that need a lot of water 
- Use renewable energy
