1. Industrial farming uses chemical fertilizers that naturally enhance and keep the soil very
fertile.
True False 3.75 points Question 2
1. We need industrial agriculture to feed the world by 2050. There's no other way to do it.
True False 3.75 points Question 3
1. Many farmers are feeling the pressure to either "get on board (with the industrial model
of agriculture) or get out (of business)."
True False 3.75 points Question 4
1. Members of The Alliance to Feed the Future Group include the Association for Dressings
and Sauces and the National Frozen Pizza Institute.
True False 3.75 points Question 5 1. In order to double food production for 2050, we must have genetic engineering, advanced
pesticides and more fertilizer.
True False 3.75 points Question 6
1. Sustainable farms produce just as well as industrial farms (in terms of the amount of food
they can produce).
True False 3.75 points Question 7
1. It's a myth that farmers who apply chemicals to their crops have a higher rate of cancer
than the general population.
True False 3.75 points Question 8 1. Sustainable farming allows us all to enjoy healthy food. We can support this model by
redirecting our own food dollars and the billions in public money now going the
corporate/industrial agriculture businesses. We can stand up and speak out for sustainable

True False 3.75 points Question 9
1. Sustainable farmers raise their animals on the farm, not in cramped factories.
True False 3.75 points Question 10

expensive purchases, and is a viable alternative to industrial agriculture.
True False 3.75 points Question 11 1. One benefit to eating insects is their nutrient profile (protein, fats, etc) is comparable to
what we eat as meat now (pork, beef, chicken).
True False 3.75 points Question 12
1. Insect damaged crops go to the processed food makers - for example, damaged tomatoes
go into making things like tomato soup. If no damage, they go to the grocery store.
True False 3.75 points Question 13
1. One way insects benefit the economy is that they are a source of food for smaller animals
(and then we eat the animals).
True False 3.75 points Question 14 1. Only 20% of the world population currently eats insects (on purpose).
True False 3.75 points Question 15
1. One of the benefits of eating insects is the conversion factor - for 10kg of feed, you can
get 9kg of locust meat (vs. only 1kg of beef).
True False 3.75 points Question 16

tourism" has become a real thing there?
