  2. 1] Globally, agricultural production of food has been: • a) increasing slowly b) overtaken by population growth • c) increasing steadily d) fluctuating considerably

  3. 2. Production and consumption of food stuffs has been highest in the developing world due to: • improved farming techniques • economic support by ex colonisers • intervention by the World Trade Organisation • High population rates, increasing GDP and income growth

  4. 3. The correlation between agricultural production and population is: • Strong and positive • Strong and negative • Growth rates of agricultural production are greater • Agricultural production is steady whereas population fluctuates

  5. 4. Over the last 15 years agricultural net production has increased annually. This has been: • Mainly in the developed world • Largely the production of livestock • In all areas but especially oil bearing crops, fruit vegetables and eggs • slowing gradually over the last 50 years

  6. 5. Between 1999 and 2001, the average consumption was 300 calories per person per day however some parts of the world were below 2,200 calories. The worst area was: • The Andean highlands of South America • Isolated pockets of South East Asia • Eastern Europe and Asia • sub-Saharan Africa

  7. 6. In industrialized countries, most deaths from influenza occur to people: • Who are very young • Who are over the age of 65 • Who have chronic diseases • Who are between 15 and 60

  8. 7. In the developing world, influenza outbreaks tend to have high attack and case-mortality rates. For example, in Madagascar in 2002, more than 27,000 cases were reported in 3 months and 800 deaths occurred, despite WHO intervention. There were severe health consequences for: • a) The elderly • b) The young • c) Poorly nourished populations • d) Those with limited access to health care

  9. 8. ‘Spanish flu’ killed: • 40 million people in 1918-1919 • 40 thousand people in 1918-1919 • 40 million people in 1957 • 40 thousand people in 1968

  10. 9. The Yellow Fever virus is: • Pandemic – there are reports of global infections • Epidemic – there are outbreaks in a number of places • Endemic – there are constantly present low levels of infection. • Endemic – in Africa and the Americas and susceptible to epidemics.

  11. 10. Yellow fever has never been reported in: • Europe • Australia • Asia • South America

  12. Now for the answers... Mark them as we go...

  13. 1] Globally, agricultural production of food has been: • a) increasing slowly b) overtaken by population growth • c) increasing steadily d) fluctuating considerably

  15. 3. The correlation between agricultural production and population is: • Strong and positive • Strong and negative • Growth rates of agricultural production are greater • Agricultural production is steady whereas population fluctuates

  16. 4. Over the last 15 years agricultural net production has increased annually. This has been: • Mainly in the developed world • Largely the production of livestock • In all areas but especially oil bearing crops, fruit vegetables and eggs • slowing gradually over the last 50 years

  17. 5. Influenza poses a serious risk to: • The very young • The elderly • People suffering from chronic medical conditions • All of the above

  18. 6. In industrialized countries, most deaths from influenza occur to people: • Who are very young • Who are over the age of 65 • Who have chronic diseases • Who are between 15 and 60

  19. 7. In the developing world, influenza outbreaks tend to have high attack and case-mortality rates.

There were severe health consequences for: • a) The elderly • b) The young • c) Poorly nourished populations • d) Those with limited access to health care This one is a bit of a trick! You can have ½ a mark for each.
