3 multiple choice 2 points
what is sustainability?
ignoring environmental concerns
a type of renewable energy source
a method for fast waste disposal
balancing human needs with environmental health

Explanation:

• Question 1: Sustainable agriculture focuses on long - term viability. Ignoring biodiversity (negative for soil as biodiversity helps in soil health), maximizing synthetic input use (can degrade soil), degrading soil fertility (opposite of what sustainable ag aims for). Enhancing long - term soil fertility is in line with sustainable practices.
• Question 2: Sustainable food systems aim for a better future. Promoting unfair wages (unethical and not sustainable), ignoring social equity (contradicts sustainability which includes social aspects), maximizing food waste (unsustainable). Creating an environmentally conscious future is the goal.
• Question 3: Sustainability is about balance. Ignoring environmental concerns (not sustainable), a type of renewable energy source (too narrow, sustainability is broader), a method for fast waste disposal (not the essence). Balancing human needs with environmental health is the definition.

Answer:

1. Enhancing long - term soil fertility
2. Creating an environmentally conscious future
3. Balancing human needs with environmental health
