a) increasing slowly
c) increasing steadily
b) overtaken by population growth
d) fluctuating considerably
2. Production and consumption of food stuffs has been highest in
the developing world due to:
a) improved farming techniques
b) economic support by ex colonisers
c) intervention by the World Trade Organisation
d) High population rates, increasing GDP and income growth
3. The correlation between agricultural production and
population is:
a) Strong and positive
b) Strong and negative
c) Growth rates of agricultural production are greater
d) Agricultural production is steady whereas population
fluctuates
4. Over the last 15 years agricultural net production
has increased annually. This has been:
a) Mainly in the developed world
b) Largely the production of livestock
c) In all areas but especially oil bearing crops, fruit
vegetables and eggs
d) slowing gradually over the last 50 years
5. Between 1999 and 2001, the average consumption

b) Who are over the age of 65
c) Who have chronic diseases
d) Who are between 15 and 60
7. In the developing world, influenza outbreaks tend to
