Challenges Related to Economic Tasks of the Country Q2 AP5  CHALLENGES Challenges in 1. Agriculture 2. Forestry 3. Fishing 4. Mining Challenges in Agriculture Climate change is one of the greatest challenges currently faced by farmers. Unpredictable climate patterns are having a severe impact on agricultural productivity.  Rising temperatures can lead to reduced crop/plants/veggies/ yields, Extreme weather events such as floods and storms are causing crop losses. Location of the farm is also a problem Places where storms always happen is a big problem to farmers Market Access  Means where to sell their vegetables and food products  Small scale farmers cannot keep their stocks longer and might be rotten easily  Lack of roads and bridges can affect the farmers when they sell their products  When bridge collapse, farmers cannot cross to another place where they have to sell their veggies or fruits Challenges in Fishing Overfishing  Catching too many fish at once so number fishes becomes low  They are unable to reproduce Climate change  Extreme weather such as heat waves badly affects the fishes—they can die when its too warm or hot Pollution in the Ocean  Pollutants such as crude oil (used in cars or boats) can harm the fish  It can cause sickness and they are unable to reproduce Pollution in the Ocean  Plastics can cause indigestion and poisoning among the fishes Habitat or Home Destruction  Blasting can harm the corals where fishes reproduce and live Alive Corals  This is how a healthy corals look life Challenges in Forestry 1. Climate Change  Trees in the forests are dying due to global warming 2. Forests Fires  Trees in the forests are dying due to global warming 2. Illegal Logging  Trees are cut down, becomes a timber and sold without following what the law says  Trees are cut and can result into soil erosion and flooding Soil Erosion Flooding Challenges in Mining 1.Climate Change Mining contributes to global greenhouse emissions which can harm the environment Owners of the mining industry needs to find ways to reduce carbon emissions 2. Pressures from government and society Mining face pressures to finds ways to care for the environment Owners of the mining industry needs follow rules and policies 3. Health and Safety Underground mining is a risky business for safety of employees Underground mining is a risky business for safety of employees Collapse of the tunnel can cause death of the workers Landslide can also happen in open-pit mining
