Study Notes

Food, Energy, and Water Resources

  • Food, water, and energy are crucial for social and economic well-being. Their availability and use vary greatly across countries.
  • The UK possesses reserves of these resources.
  • Essential resources for survival include food.
  • Daily calorie needs range from 2,000 to 2,500, depending on factors like sex, age, height, and activity level.
  • Insufficient calories lead to weight loss and energy depletion; insufficient food impacts a country's productivity.
  • Excessive calorie consumption results in weight gain, also hindering productivity.
  • Water accounts for about two-thirds of the human body and is vital for bodily functions like nutrient absorption and waste removal.
  • Daily water intake should be between 1.6 and 2 liters, depending on temperature and activity.
  • Water is used for sanitation, agriculture, and industry. Irrigation is particularly important in drier regions.
  • Industry utilizes water for cleaning, cooling, and as raw material.
  • Energy fuels homes, cooking, and transportation, often in the form of electricity.
  • Primary energy sources like fossil fuels and wind power are used to generate secondary energy.
  • Energy production (e.g., mining for fossil fuels, biofuel production) can use valuable farmland, reducing food availability.
  • Energy costs affect food production and transport, impacting consumer prices.
