You need to write a report about how producing a farm product from your local area affects the environment. This means explaining the real impacts—both good and bad—on air, water, soil, and living things, either right now or in the future. You'll need to research and analyze actual data or information about the product you choose.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Choose a primary product actually produced near you (e.g., dairy milk, sheep meat, apples, wine) and research its production
- ·Identify specific environmental impacts the production has—looking at effects on organisms, air quality, water quality, and soil quality
- ·Explain both positive and negative impacts rather than just listing them
- ·Use actual data or evidence to support your explanation of those impacts
- ·Draw conclusions about the overall balance of environmental impact from that production
You explain how producing your chosen local primary product impacts the environment, covering at least air, water, soil, or organisms.
You provide a thoughtful explanation that pulls pertinent information from your data and shows you understand the nuances of how the production affects the environment.
