Hello Class!

Today's Topic is FOOD!
What we eat, how we access it, and how much we pay for it varies across the globe. As far as our planet is concerned we have more than enough food to feed the whole world, so why is that so many people still go hungry? The topic of food is connected to issues in poverty, the environment, population, health, and politics. Further, it ties into multiple themes in geography, which you have already studied to this date. While I am out today your task is to complete the following and SUBMIT to me by EMAIL:


 * First:** As a class watch the TED talk by Josette Sheeran Your sub will play this for you.


 * Second:** Research an article about the global Food Crisis (or global hunger) that is //**related to your study of human geography**//. Your article could connect to one of the unit topics or the Five Themes of Geography (below):
 * //Location// (absolute, relative)
 * //Place// (human characteristics, physical characteristics)
 * //Human-Environmental Interaction// (humans adapt to, modify and depend on the environment)
 * //Movement// (of people, goods and ideas)
 * //Regions// (formal, functional, vernacular)


 * Third:** Write a paragraph that addresses the following question relating to your article. Your answer must provide details and examples and you must cite your source. Expected length: One well written paragraph.
