Question

4 multiple choice 2 points what is the economic impact of food waste in the supply chain? it has no economic consequences it leads to increased profits for producers and retailers it improves overall economic stability it results in financial losses for producers, retailers, and consumers 5 multiple choice 2 points how does supporting local and seasonal foods contribute to sustainability? it supports global economies it reduces greenhouse gas emissions it increases transportation distances it relies on imported goods 6 multiple choice 2 points which of the following is a consequence of deforestation for road construction? alteration of ecosystems increased wildlife habitats reduced land use change preservation of natural landscapes

Explanation:

• For question 4: Food waste in the supply chain means resources (like money, labor, and materials) used to produce, transport, and store that food are wasted. Producers spend money on growing/raising food, retailers on stocking it, and consumers on potentially buying it. If it's wasted, those are financial losses. It can't have "no economic consequences" as resources are involved. It won't lead to increased profits (as resources are lost) or improve economic stability (as it's a loss of value).
• For question 5: Local and seasonal foods don't need to be transported long - distances. Long - distance transportation (like shipping from other countries) uses fuel, which emits greenhouse gases. By reducing transportation distances (so less fuel used), greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. Supporting local doesn't mainly support global economies (it's more local - focused), doesn't increase transportation distances (opposite), and doesn't rely on imported goods (it's local).
• For question 6: Deforestation (cutting down forests) for road construction destroys the natural home (habitat) of many plants and animals. This alters the ecosystem (the complex web of interactions between living things and their environment). It doesn't increase wildlife habitats (destroys them), doesn't reduce land - use change (causes it), and doesn't preserve natural landscapes (destroys them).

Answer:

1. It results in financial losses for producers, retailers, and consumers
2. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions
3. Alteration of ecosystems
