00:00:02,029 --> 00:00:28,469
Hi guys and good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever you are doing right now. Because of the situation that we have nowadays, I don't have any other things that are trying to help you with this online classroom to try to support your knowledge about the unit that we are going to learn and to improve your vocabulary.

2
00:00:28,469 --> 00:00:35,049
so for now I'm gonna try to make this presentation chapter by chapter for

3
00:00:35,049 --> 00:00:40,789
every single unit that we are have to study up until the moment that we will

4
00:00:40,789 --> 00:00:47,030
come back to the classroom and we can see each other once again so we are

5
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:52,689
going to start with the unit number three but before that let me explain you

6
00:00:52,689 --> 00:01:01,270
for now I have uploaded a forum in the website where you can ask anything that

7
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:07,810
you want you can you can ask for your doubt you can participate doing your own

8
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:13,870
questions on or we can just chat about anything related to the topic that we

9
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:20,170
are studying about and that you are interested in so don't hesitate to

10
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:27,290
contact with me for anything so now let me start with the unit number three that if you remember

11
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:34,329
when we started in number two and number one it's the one relating with the primary sector

12
00:01:34,329 --> 00:01:43,129
the ones related with agriculture livestock farming cell agriculture and fishing so we are

13
00:01:43,129 --> 00:01:49,609
going to see all that point of view but today we are going to start with the agriculture with the

14
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:57,370
arable farming what is agriculture or what is arable farming it's complete the economic

15
00:01:57,370 --> 00:02:05,849
activities and techniques relating to the treatment of soil and cultivation of land

16
00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:13,930
for food and production so obtain any kind of food it's something that you have to

17
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:17,770
keep in mind for your vocabulary in the case of an exam remember

18
00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:31,169
Another two important words that we are going to learn in this unit are the

19
00:02:31,169 --> 00:02:36,849
sustainable food productions because we are in a developed country and we

20
00:02:36,849 --> 00:02:41,330
already study in the classroom but there are a lot of different countries emerging

21
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:45,750
countries and non-developed countries that despite that they have a lot of

22
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:52,530
productions they cannot achieve to this amount of food that we are obtaining

23
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:56,849
every single day and there are big amount of people that is dying of hunger

24
00:02:56,849 --> 00:03:05,129
nowadays so we have to keep in mind that is despite of the big amount of food

25
00:03:05,129 --> 00:03:10,469
that we are able to obtain in a supermarket or whatever we want to this

26
00:03:10,469 --> 00:03:17,250
is not a reality for every single human being on the other hand we have to

27
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:24,349
mention what is the FAO what is the F A O is the organization for food that is

28
00:03:24,349 --> 00:03:29,409
depending on the on the United Nations that we already mentioned the

29
00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:37,009
headquarters in Rome and it's not important for your knowledge but keep in

30
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:44,430
mind that there are several organizations that are in charge of taking care of the situation

31
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:51,069
related to food and agriculture and livestock farming all around the world. So, what we are

32
00:03:51,069 --> 00:03:57,370
going to learn about in this chapter? First, we are going to mention how farming has changed

33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:03,250
from the beginning of the time, if you remember in Primera del Azo, you studied the Neolithic,

34
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:09,250
that is the period of the time where everything changed related to agriculture.

35
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:14,250
Then we will study the different agricultural landscapes,

36
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:17,250
especially focused on Spain.

37
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:22,250
The difference between subsistence is farming and commercial farming

38
00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:26,250
that are totally related to developed and non-developed countries.

39
00:04:26,250 --> 00:04:32,250
The different types of fishing and what are the resources that the forests provide.

40
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:46,589
And the keywords of the unit are going to be among all the words that we are going to mention, for example, aquaculture, foods of variety, monoculture, deforestation and so on.

41
00:04:46,589 --> 00:05:05,829
So first, what is agriculture, arable farming? It is everything that is related to the treatment of soil and cultivation of land for food production, to obtain food, vegetables, fruit, and so on.

42
00:05:05,829 --> 00:05:12,250
Then, related with the two important words that we mentioned previously, the food and

43
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:18,949
agricultural organization and the food sovereignty, everything that I have already said, that

44
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:23,069
despite the fact that there is a blues of food in the developed countries, there is

45
00:05:23,069 --> 00:05:28,329
still a lot of conflict all around the world.

46
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:35,509
And finally, for this unit, just to mention the different factors that are going to affect

47
00:05:35,509 --> 00:05:41,509
agriculture we have to keep in mind that agriculture is going to be able in a lot of

48
00:05:41,509 --> 00:05:48,949
different places but not in the same quantity or in the same quality and this is because of

49
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:57,189
physical factors and human factors that you have to know let's go in the physical factors

50
00:05:57,189 --> 00:06:06,310
are the ones related with the with the reliefs with the climate with the soil and so on for

51
00:06:06,310 --> 00:06:17,430
example the rainfall there is a minimum of amount that the crops need to to get a good harvest but

52
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:26,250
also, depending on the type of rainfall, we could have a big amount of crops or a

53
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:32,350
better quality of crops. It's not the same if it's raining or it's hailing or it's

54
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:38,730
snowing. Another factor is the temperature. For example, the big majority

55
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:48,430
of the agriculture it's related with the template part of the of the globe so you

56
00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:53,490
notice the developed countries of course we could find a lot of different crops

57
00:06:53,490 --> 00:07:01,050
in the equator and in Africa and in Indonesia and so on but we cannot find

58
00:07:01,050 --> 00:07:07,670
this kind of crops for example in Norway in Iceland or in the north of Canada

59
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:13,670
then the growing season that is the length of time that crops needs to grow

60
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:19,730
so the pain of the frost depend of the rain benefit virtues and we could have

61
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:27,170
problems with the homes then related to the relief we could mention the attitude

62
00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:34,170
because the higher you are the colder so you cannot get the same kind of same

63
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:41,769
of product or even you cannot get products then the the slope faces is not the same that you are

64
00:07:41,769 --> 00:07:48,970
in the north of an arm of on a mountain the north phase and in the south phase because the south

65
00:07:48,970 --> 00:08:00,649
phase receive more heat so the crops are able to to grow in a better way then probably we have these

66
00:08:00,649 --> 00:08:08,250
loves of their relief there are a lot of countries with a lot of slope and it's very difficult

67
00:08:08,810 --> 00:08:16,089
to cultivate in these places so because of that they are going to accurate the soils to cultivate

68
00:08:16,089 --> 00:08:24,170
on their own and finally for example we can mention the soil the fertile that a soil is

69
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:32,570
if it's well drained or not and so on for example a volcanic soil is more fertile than

70
00:08:33,129 --> 00:08:38,809
than any others so because of that there are a lot of populations that are living close to a volcano

71
00:08:40,250 --> 00:08:45,850
so keep in mind that idea another factors that are that i didn't mention for example the fauna

72
00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:57,370
any animal or any bug that is living close to a crop can affect the farming or even the vegetation

73
00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:04,649
because it means that it's more fertile or not on the other hand we have the human factors for

74
00:09:04,649 --> 00:09:13,769
example the labor because you need the human being to uh to acquire your your aims now in this case

75
00:09:13,769 --> 00:09:21,850
to cultivate your crop the market depending on the demand remember that we mentioned the capitalist

76
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:32,169
system that it is based on the uh on the on the demand that it's uh that is created by the

77
00:09:32,169 --> 00:09:38,169
companies then the access accessibility for example the transport from one place to another

78
00:09:38,169 --> 00:09:49,509
sorry the far that you are from a place is going to increase the cost of transport then any kind

79
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:56,049
of subsidized the policies that the government's take into account to encourage certain types of

80
00:09:56,049 --> 00:10:04,669
fun that in the European Union is quite important because of the agrarian political that we have in

81
00:10:04,669 --> 00:10:13,190
common then the attitudes of the different people the farmers and the and the public that is going

82
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:19,309
to influence what it's grown and the finance because they are going to influence what is

83
00:10:19,309 --> 00:10:30,429
wrong according with the capital that they need apart from these physical and these and human

84
00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:37,309
factors that we already mentioned nowadays exist new factors that are changing agriculture

85
00:10:37,309 --> 00:10:44,269
for example the first one is the new consumer trains with healthy lifestyles for example

86
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:53,870
ecological produce with not a where um there with not any kind of artificial product and so on

87
00:10:54,669 --> 00:11:01,070
another factor another matter factor is the commercial agriculture method instead of the

88
00:11:01,070 --> 00:11:08,830
traditional forms to increase the productivity because we are in a capitalist capitalist world

89
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:19,470
full of globalization so nowadays the traditional forms are just in in small countries or in small

90
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:28,029
regions or in small villages then the last two factors that we have to mention are the scientific

91
00:11:28,029 --> 00:11:36,750
advances like genetic modification that nowadays create new fruit for example like nectarina i

92
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:44,190
don't know the english name for that fruit i am so sorry and finally the new uses of pesticides

93
00:11:44,190 --> 00:11:52,509
the chemical pesticides that they are trying to reduce the use of this kind of techniques

94
00:11:52,509 --> 00:12:01,149
because they are contaminating the soil and the water and the soil so it's a it's a very

95
00:12:01,149 --> 00:12:08,029
important problem nowadays that they are trying to solve finally to finish today just to mention

96
00:12:08,029 --> 00:12:18,190
What are the aims, the objectives of the 2050, for the 2050 years related to food and farming?

97
00:12:18,509 --> 00:12:26,570
And it's basically, if it's expected to have approximately 9 billion people on the planet,

98
00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:29,529
we have to increase production.

99
00:12:29,529 --> 00:12:38,669
but also we need to try to try to get to all the population with major innovation

100
00:12:38,669 --> 00:12:49,610
to try to solve the critical water and heat problems and to try to minimize the

101
00:12:49,610 --> 00:13:00,710
impacts of food and farming in the world so guys today we have mentioned what is

102
00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:06,110
the edible farming what is agriculture so one important word for your vocabulary

103
00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:13,129
we also mentioned what is the FAO and what is fruits of variety and we

104
00:13:13,129 --> 00:13:17,610
mentioned the different characteristics on edible farming the different factors

105
00:13:17,610 --> 00:13:24,750
that affect the edible farming physical human and the modern factors are

106
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:29,549
changing agriculture so this is the chapter number one and with this I'm

107
00:13:29,549 --> 00:13:37,350
gonna finish today I'm gonna and in the next chapter I will explain the

108
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:42,269
different agriculture landscape please if you have any doubt don't know

109
00:13:42,269 --> 00:13:49,950
hesitate to contact with me or to write me in the forums remember participation is part of

110
00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:58,830
your final mark so i hope that you can ask me whatever you want okay guys see you soon
