Assignment: Global Sources for Your Local Supermarket
The purpose of this assignment is to research how and why we have access to specific goods.
Complete Activity 2 from Ch. 8 of Human Geography in Action, by scrolling down to p. 245.
Write your responses to 2.1 to 2.4., and to the following:
Would any of these foods be a part of the green revolution? What criteria would determine this?
How do the ideas of diffusion and movement relate to two of your researched items? In other words, how did your items spread in popularity? Where were the items originally popular, and how did this popularity spread?
Note: You do not need to purchase anything; you may simply note what products are sold in your local store. If you cannot visit a grocery store, you may communicate via phone or e-mail with your local store to find out what is stocked, or you may review the store website.
