| 6145157631 | Food Insecurity | Refers to the condition in which people do not have adequate access to food. | 3 | |
| 6145157632 | Famine | Condition in which food insecurity is so extreme that large #'s of deaths occur in a given area over a relatively short period. | 4 | |
| 6145157633 | Anemia | Iron deficiency; most widespread nutritional deficiency in the world. (Est. 3 billion) | 5 | |
| 6145157634 | Overnutrition | The ingestion of too many calories and improper foods, which causes a person to become overweight (Est. 1 billion). | 6 | |
| 6145157635 | Meat | 2nd largest component of the human diet; usually defined as livestock and poultry. | 7 | |
| 6145157636 | Industrial Agriculture/Agribusiness | Applies the techniques of the Industrial Revolution - Mechanization and standardization - to the production of food. | 8 | |
| 6145157638 | Green Revolution | New management techniques and mechanization as well as the triad of fertilization, irrigation and improved crop varieties. These changes increased food production drastically. | 9 | |
| 6145157644 | Fertilizers | Replaces nutrients lost through agriculture | 10 | |
| 6145157645 | Organic Fertilizers | Composed of organic matter from plants and animals. Manure, etc. | 11 | |
| 6145157646 | Synthetic/Inorganic | Produced commercially. Nitrogen fertilizers are often made by combusting natural gas. | 12 | |
| 6145157647 | Monocropping | Dominant agricultural practice in the U.S. Where large patches of land grow only one kind of crop. -> Soil degredation | 13 | |
| 6145157648 | Pesticides | Substances that kill or control pests. | 14 | |
| 6145157649 | Insecticides | Target species of insects and other invertebrates that eat crops. | 15 | |
| 6145157650 | Herbicides | Target plant species that compete with crops. | 16 | |
| 6145157651 | Broad-Spectrum | Pesticides that kill many different pests. | 17 | |
| 6145157652 | Selective Pesticides | Kill on a narrow range of organisms. | 18 | |
| 6145157653 | Persistent | Pesticides that remain in the environment for a long time | 19 | |
| 6145157654 | Bioaccumulation | Building up over time in fat tissue of predators. More builds up than is eliminated. | 20 | |
| 6145157655 | Nonperisistent | Breakdown rapidly | 21 | |

| 6145157657 | Pesticide Treadmill | Positive feedback system. Pesticide Development -> Survivors/Immune -> more poisons. | 23 | |
| 6145157658 | Conventional Agriculture | Industrial agriculture that has been so successful in reducing labor inputs and has become very widespread. | 24 | |
| 6145157662 | Sustainable Agriculture | Fulfills the need for food and fiber while enhancing the quality of soil, minimizing the use of nonrenewable resources and allowing economic viability for the farmer. | 25 | |
| 6145157663 | Intercropping | 2 or more crop species are planted in the same field at the same time to promote a synergistic interaction between them. | 26 | |
| 6145157664 | Crop Rotation | Moving crops around to help keep nutrient levels high throughout the years. | 27 | |
| 6145157665 | Agroforestry | Intercropping trees with vegetables allows vegetation of different heights to act a windbreaks and catch soil. | 28 | |
| 6145157666 | Contour Plowing | Plowing and harvesting parallel to the topographic contours of the land helps prevent erosion by water. | 29 | |
| 6145157667 | No-Till Agriculture | Avoid soil degradation that comes with conventional agricultural techniques. | 30 | |
