Study Notes
Food Origin
Food Production
- Food production involves the growing, harvesting, processing, and distribution of food
- There are several methods of food production:
- Agriculture: growing crops and raising livestock
- Horticulture: growing fruits, vegetables, and flowers
- Aquaculture: farming fish and other aquatic animals
- Pastoralism: raising livestock on grazing land
Identify Variety of Food
- Fruits: grown on trees or bushes, sweet or tart in taste (e.g. apples, bananas, oranges)
- Vegetables: grown underground or above ground, savory in taste (e.g. potatoes, carrots, broccoli)
- Grains: seeds of grasses, used to make bread, pasta, and cereals (e.g. wheat, rice, oats)
- Proteins: come from animals, include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products (e.g. beef, chicken, salmon, milk)
- Dairy: produced from mammary glands of female mammals (e.g. milk, cheese, yogurt)
Understand the Different Sources of Food
- Plant-based: food from plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes
- Animal-based: food from animals, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, and eggs
- Microorganism-based: food from microorganisms, such as yeast (e.g. bread, beer), algae (e.g. seaweed), and bacteria (e.g. yogurt, cheese)
Classify Animals Based on Eating Habits
- Herbivores: eat plants and plant-based foods (e.g. cows, deer, rabbits)
- Carnivores: eat animals and animal-based foods (e.g. lions, tigers, wolves)
- Omnivores: eat both plants and animals (e.g. humans, bears, pigs)
- Detritivores: eat dead plants and animals (e.g. vultures, hyenas, earthworms)
Food Origin
Food Production
- Food production involves four stages: growing, harvesting, processing, and distribution
- Four methods of food production: agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, and pastoralism
- Agriculture involves growing crops and raising livestock
- Horticulture involves growing fruits, vegetables, and flowers
- Aquaculture involves farming fish and other aquatic animals
- Pastoralism involves raising livestock on grazing land
Food Classification
Fruits and Vegetables
- Fruits are grown on trees or bushes and are sweet or tart in taste
- Examples of fruits: apples, bananas, oranges
- Vegetables are grown underground or above ground and are savory in taste
- Examples of vegetables: potatoes, carrots, broccoli
Grains and Proteins
- Grains are seeds of grasses used to make bread, pasta, and cereals
- Examples of grains: wheat, rice, oats
- Proteins come from animals and include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products
- Examples of proteins: beef, chicken, salmon, milk
Dairy and Microorganism-Based Foods
- Dairy products are produced from mammary glands of female mammals
- Examples of dairy products: milk, cheese, yogurt
- Microorganism-based foods are produced from microorganisms
- Examples of microorganism-based foods: yeast (bread, beer), algae (seaweed), bacteria (yogurt, cheese)
Eating Habits of Animals
Herbivores and Carnivores
- Herbivores eat plants and plant-based foods
- Examples of herbivores: cows, deer, rabbits
- Carnivores eat animals and animal-based foods
- Examples of carnivores: lions, tigers, wolves
Omnivores and Detritivores
- Omnivores eat both plants and animals
- Examples of omnivores: humans, bears, pigs
- Detritivores eat dead plants and animals
- Examples of detritivores: vultures, hyenas, earthworms
Food Classification
- Food can be categorized based on its origin into:
- Plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds
- Animal-based foods: meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey
- Fungi-based foods: mushrooms and truffles
- Microorganism-based foods: yeast, yogurt, and fermented foods
Food Sources
- Food sources can be classified into three main categories:
- Terrestrial foods: land-based foods, including plants, animals, and fungi
- Aquatic foods: water-based foods, including fish, shellfish, and seaweed
- Aerial foods: air-based foods, including honey and bird eggs
Animal Eating Habits
- Animals can be classified into different categories based on their eating habits:
- Herbivores: plant-eating animals, such as cows, deer, and rabbits
- Carnivores: meat-eating animals, such as lions, tigers, and bears
- Omnivores: animals that eat both plants and animals, such as humans, pigs, and bears
- Detritivores: animals that eat decaying organic matter, such as earthworms and maggots
- Piscivores: fish-eating animals, such as sharks and fish-eating birds
- Insectivores: insect-eating animals, such as frogs and lizards
- Fungivores: fungus-eating animals, such as snails and slugs
