• We have talked about plant and animal food production separately, but they are clearly linked in many ways. Consider what you learned about the plant and animal production systems so far in Food Systems:
  • What are the most important linkages or “interfaces” between plant and animal food production?
  • Which of our class themes did you hear come out (environmental, human health, scale, social, economic, waste) at the interface between plant and animal production systems? Give 1-2 examples.
  • What are the constraints facing plant and/or animal production systems in the future (physical, human values, or legal/economic)?
  • What questions do you still have regarding plant and animal production?

I expect you to refer to some class material to justify your responses. These reflections should be longer and more complete than typical discussion posts. Be sure to address each bullet point for full points.

Guidelines

A complete and meaningful response to the discussion prompt will earn the required points.

You may respond to another student's original response to the prompt to earn one extra point, for example, raising additional support for an argument, respectfully challenges a position, or raises meaningful questions in an exchange of 2 or more posts. If you do so, you can earn 5/4 points in this discussion.
