Engage students with activities that allow them to evaluate the trade-offs between agricultural production and the environment.

They next determine how much food is required to support 1 person, and then they calculate how much agricultural land is needed to produce enough food to feed the world population. For a class of 32 students working in 8 groups of 4.
