Use this project to explore geography though food

Analysis

Your analysis should follow this framework (in order). Include headings for each analysis point in your paper.

1) Country: Why Chosen?

Why did you choose the country, city or region and what is your specific interest in that country’s cultural and/or physical landscape?

2) Describe the Relative Location and Map:

Where is your country located? Describe the region and relative location, focused on the location of inquiry.

ou establish the location of inquiry not only because its an essential element of a geography project, but because information about somewhere without first establishing the location is useless information – without describing the location, it could very well be an imaginary place. Addressing the ‘where’ question first provides context, and so on. Also, most countries are too large to generalize information – if you find information that is ‘regional’ (ex. southern Italy is VERY different than northern Italy culturally, economically, geographically, soil types, weather/climate, etc.) and therefore an Italy inquiry may need to establish ‘regional’ classifications (i.e. how is ‘southern’ Italy defined? – generally, defined as anything south of Rome by the way and this is an important bit of introduction to express in the ‘location’ section. Hope this helps.

 

3) Perceptions: Initial Perception Prior to Research:

What were your initial perceptions about the country, city or region at the time of your selection and prior to beginning your research?

4) Insight(s): Interesting Insight/s Gained During Analysis:

Limited to 1 or 2: List the most interesting insight/s gained (or not) in the course of your analysis. Example: Did your analysis reinforce perceptions or reveal something new about the location chosen? (Limit this to one or two points).

5) What is the principle food staple:

What is a “food staple?” A food staple, or simply ‘staple,’ is a food that makes up the dominant part of a population’s diet. Food staples are eaten regularly, even daily, and supply a major proportion of energy and nutritional needs for a given people/country. Food staples are also important to both local and export economies.

You are to investigate the principle staple food(s) for your chosen location and reflect on the cultural importance – this may include historical and modern relevance (ex. is the food staple endemic or introduced ?).

6) Food (staple) Economy:

Investigate the political and economic importance of the food staple.

Does the principle staple food contribute to an “export” economy?

Does your country, city or region depend on “imports” of staples?

7) Food (staple) Commodity Trail – Tell the ‘Field-to-Table’ or ‘Sea-to-Table’ Story

Follow the commodity trail from “field or sea to table.” Food is an economy and contributes to both local and global economies. What is that story?

Subsistence Economy: Locally grown and consumed? Locally traded?

Global Economy (distribution networks): how does food travel and where to)?

Follow the trail from ‘field-to-table’ or ‘sea-to-table’ and briefly tell the story of that staple.

8) Impacts of CLIMATE CHANGE on Food Production:

Human/Environment Interactions

Geographic perspectives on ‘climate change’ factor questions of:

Human/Environment Interactions:

– How humans ‘adapt’ to the environment

– How humans ‘modify’ the environment

– How humans ‘depend’ on the environment?

Investigate the impact (or potential impact) a changing climate may have on food production and the overall impact that will have on both social and economic scales. It is critically important to understand the potential consequences of climate change on ‘food insecurity’ and the potential political and economic impacts this has on regions of the world. Food ‘insecurity’ as a consequence of climate change will be one of the biggest ‘push factors’ of migration (immigration/emigration) and a source of geopolitical conflict in the future.

9) Final Analysis

Summarize what you have learned about the “geography of food” and the relationship this has to our interactions with the environment.

10) Most Interesting Thing?

Food is reflected in cultural geography and an important expression of a “sense of place.” What was the most interesting thing you encountered in your research?
