Year 7 - FARMING

Unit Summary

Concepts Covered

Resources
Farming is vital to our survival as it provides us with food, either through growing crops or rearing animals. In MEDCs, farming is mainly commercial with large scale farms producing crops or rearing animals in order to sell and make a profit. However, in many LEDCs families rely on subsistence farming, this is where they have to grow enough food in order to provide food for themselves. This unit will explore the different types of farming and factors that affect them. It will also consider how farming has changed and the impacts that this change has had. You will end the unit by undertaking a group research project on one aspect of farming which you will then present back to the rest of the class.
