4.7.5.1 New ways must be found to feed all people without endangering the ecological balance of the planet. 4.7.5.2 Farming techniques The efficiency of food production can be improved by restricting energy transfer from food animals. Battery chickens and calves raised in pens are examples of ‘factory farming’. Fish grown in cages can be fed high protein food and have restricted movement. There are moral and ethical objections to some ‘factory farming’ techniques. Explain how restricting the movement of animals and controlling the temperature of their surroundings improves efficiency of food production. Define the term factory farming and give examples of animals farmed in this way. Evaluate modern farming techniques. 1 Discuss the food and energy requirements of animals raised outdoors and raised by ‘factory farming’. Suggest reasons for the difference. Consider the rate of meat production, flavour and health considerations of the animals.

Design a questionnaire, out a survey, present and analyse the results. Consider whether the survey would produce valid results.
