the world, their alteration and significance as a source of food and fiber, and the
environmental challenges and constraints on expanding food production in the future.
These distinctive aspects of biomes, food production and food security are investigated
using studies drawn from Australia and across the world.

Students investigate the challenges to food production, including land and

water degradation, shortage of fresh water, competing land uses, and climate
change, for Australia and other areas of the world.
Students explore the capacity of the worlds environments to sustainably feed
the projected future population to achieve food security for Australia and the
