Study Notes
Environmental Challenges and Solutions
- Food insecurity has multiple environmental impacts such as land degradation, soil erosion, and deforestation.
- Solutions to address food insecurity include climate-smart agriculture, reducing food waste, and improving food storage systems.
- Deforestation is the removal of trees and vegetation, while desertification transforms land into desert-like conditions.
- Causes of deforestation and desertification include agricultural expansion, overgrazing, and poor land management practices.
- Solutions to address deforestation and desertification include reforestation, sustainable land management practices, and international cooperation.
- Marine conservation faces challenges like overfishing, irresponsible fish farming, and ocean warming.
- Causes of marine ecosystem challenges include overfishing, garbage, and ocean warming.
- Impact of marine challenges includes toxic metal release, eutrophication, and depletion of fish species.
- Solutions for marine conservation include reducing pollutants and waste, conserving water, and choosing sustainable seafood.
- Air pollution includes industrial smog, photochemical smog, and acid deposition.
- Causes of air pollution are attributed to stationary and mobile sources, primary pollutants, and secondary pollutants.
- Solutions to air pollution include improving energy efficiency, taxing emissions, and promoting renewable energy sources.
