sub systems of food systems - Correct Answers -farming, waste management, input
systems
industry allies - Correct Answers -packaging industry, chemical manufacturers, food
machinery and equipment manufacturers, monitoring and regulatory agencies
environmental drivers - Correct Answers -climate, soil, water, nutrient availability,
biodiversity, etc.
socioeconomic drivers - Correct Answers -economy, demographics, government
technology, and culture
natural drivers - Correct Answers -volcano's, solar cycles, tides
environmental feedback - Correct Answers -greenhouse gases
socioeconomic feedback - Correct Answers -population change
economic growth - Correct Answers -effects how food is purchased and marketed
competition for natural resources - Correct Answers -producing more with less
resources; effected by changings in demand and climate
unstable food production - Correct Answers -over-fishing, deforestation, soil erosion,
water shortages, Greenhouse gas emissions
, climate change - Correct Answers -may jeopardize possibility of expanding agricultural
yields in some regions of the globe
Sustainability - Correct Answers -using a harvesting method or resource so that the
resource isn't depleted or permanently damaged
sustainable food system - Correct Answers -a food system that delivers food security
and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social, and environmental bases to
generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised
Food Science - Correct Answers -the study of the physical, biological, and chemical
makeup of food; and the concepts underlying food processing
food technology - Correct Answers -the application of food science to the selection,
preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food
production - Correct Answers -raising, growing of plant, animal products for
consumption
manufacturing - Correct Answers -converts raw agricultural products to more refined or
finished products
Temperature danger zone - Correct Answers -zone from 41F° to 135F° in which foods
should not be stored or kept for long periods of time due to risk of spoilage and bacteria
growth
processes that prevent growth - Correct Answers -irradiation, refrigeration, freezing,
drying, control water activity
processes that minimize growth - Correct Answers --pasteurization
-sterilization (canning)
-cleaning and sanitizing
-membrane processing
distribution - Correct Answers -deals with aspects conducive to product sales
(formation, weighing, transportation, storage)
marketing - Correct Answers -selling of foods
food processing - Correct Answers -treatment of food substances by changing
propertied to preserve/improve it
minimally processed foods - Correct Answers -little change from raw form
processed foods - Correct Answers -ingredients that have had their structure/nutrients
changed and are typically used in cooking
