10. Food Production 200 Industrial agriculture and industrial food systems produce THIS PERCENTAGE of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. 50%! Industrial farming requires greater equipment, more processing and more transportation than small-scale farming.

11. Food Production 300 Having been a staple food in Bolivia and Peru for centuries, the international popularity of THIS nutrient-rich ‘superfood’ has raised both farmers’ incomes and the price of this food beyond what they can afford, causing them to turn to other cheaper, more processed, and less nutritious foods. Quinoa

12. Food Production 400 In the Global South, THIS PERCENTAGE of women work in the agricultural sector and in food production. 79%

13. Food Production 500 THIS KIND of seed is scientifically bred by crossing plants so that the characteristics sought only appear in the first harvest, guaranteeing that farmers cannot save seeds. To resow, they have to purchase the seed every year. Hybrid seeds

14. Food Facts 100 THIS PORTION of the world’s food is wasted every year. 1/3 YES… ONE THIRD!!

15. Food Facts 200 Canada produces more than 1 million kg of THIS CEREAL GRAIN, by harvesting the wild plant from Great Lakes region through to Saskatchewan. Rice Wild rice grows in shallow waters of slow-moving rivers and bays, and so in order to preserve this environment, the provincial law of Saskatchewan forbids the use of commercial fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides to enhance production. Rice is cultivated in over 100 countries, and is produced on every continent, except Antarctica.

16. Food Facts 300 Because of the increasing commodification of seeds, the world has lost almost THIS PERCENTAGE of crop varieties. Nearly 75%! In North America, we have already lost 90% of our fruit and vegetable varieties in the last century!

17. Food Facts 400 The banana does not actually grow on a tree, but on the world’s largest form of THIS type of plant. It’s a herb!

18. Food Facts 500 Though there are more than 50,000 edible plants in the world, THIS MANY of them provide 90% of the world’s caloric intake. 15 Only 3 (rice, wheat and corn/maize) make up 2/3 of the 90%

19. Causes of Hunger 100 THIS seemingly uncontrollable contributor to hunger can disrupt food production systems and cause food insecurity around the world. • Changing Weather Patterns • Also: • Climate change • Extreme weather events • Floods, severe storms, droughts, etc.

20. Causes of Hunger 200 When crops fail, hungry farmers may do THIS in order to afford food, which reduces other long-term income sources and slows the farm’s recovery after a drought. Selling (any of the following) - livestock - land - agricultural tools - household items

21. Causes of Hunger 300 In any of THESE situations, governments often divert money from food and development programmes to other priorities. (name one) • Economic Crisis / Recession • Civil conflict or war • World event (e.g. Olympics) • Investment choice (such as diverting funds to expand another industry) • Public concern on another issue

22. Causes of Hunger 400 TWO OF THE FACTORS which contribute to more women being hungry than men. • Highernutritionalneedswhenpregnant or nursing • Women are more likely to eatless in order to feedtheirchildren • Fewerwomenown the land or livestocktheywork • Inequality, in any of theseforms: • Femalefarmers have fewerrightsthan male farmers • Femalefarmers have lessaccess to resourcessuch as education, credit and financialservices than male farmers • Because of the above, women are lesslikely to adopt new technologies or techniques

23. Causes of Hunger 500 It is important to protect THIS TYPE OF DIVERSITY, as natural seeds adapt over time to climate change, disease, and to local conditions, ensuring our capacity to produce food in the future. Biodiversity, or the diversity of seeds

24. Solutions 100 THIS TYPE OF FARMING is already feeding half of the world’s population, and is seen as the single biggest opportunity to reduce hunger and poverty, and to increase land productivity. Small-scale family farming / peasant farming For example, Canadian agriculture is still dominated by small-scale, family-owned and operated enterprises. Large, corporate farms (those earning over $1B/year) make up less than 5 percent of Canadian farms.

25. Solutions 200 THESE SEEDS are gaining more attention recently as a way to encourage diversity of plants – they generally originated prior to 1951 (when plant hybridization became popular), have adapted to local conditions to resist disease and provide heavy yeilds, and are open-pollinated. Heritage seeds Sometimes also called ‘Heirloom seeds’

26. Solutions 300 In the hands of THESE PEOPLE, family income improves, children’s health and nutrition improve, and because when their access to productive resources increase the crop yields can increase from 20-30%. Women!

27. Solutions 400 We have to call on THIS BODY to tackle the challenge of protectingfarmer’srights and biodiversity, becauseit has an important roleto play in creatingdomesticlaws and international agreementsthatcaneitherprotect or remove the right of familyfarmers to preserve and sowtheirseeds. Our government

28. Solutions 500 We can all choose to buy food from THESE SOURCES, contributing to local sustainable development rather than to multinational profit, and reducing our environmental footprint. • Community-supported agriculture programs • Local farmers’ markets • Local, sustainablefood sources • Fairtrade sources
