Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

Question

Answer

1. Increased production of milkTo which part do I belong?
2. Increased mechanizationTo which part do I belong?
3. Development of agribusiness, economies of scale, factory farms, industrialization of agriculture; changes from labor-intensive to less labor-intensive forms of agricultureTo which part do I belong?
4. Displacement by urbanizationTo which part do I belong?
5. Cows produce higher yields, meaning fewer cows are needed to meet the demand for milk; therefore there are fewer farms.To which part do I belong?
6. Mechanization/technological changes in the milking process have enabled farmers to increase the size of their dairy herds. This efficiency has made small farms unprofitable.To which part do I belong?
7. Some consumers switch to organic products because they wish to eat foods that have a less negative impact on the environment (wish to live in greater harmony with nature).To which part do I belong?
8. The economies of scale achieved by large-farm operations have kept the retail price of food low. Because small-farm operations cannot achieve these economies, they have to either go out of business or shift to more intensive forms of agriculture or supply specialty food for niche markets that bring higher prices and greater profitability, e.g., producing higher-priced, higher-quality organic products.To which part do I belong?
9. Consumers in the U.S. seek alternatives to the industrial products of modern agriculture because of (media-driven) concerns about the nutrition and healthiness of commercial agricultural products.To which part do I belong?
10. • Consumers have become wary of the insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used in agriculture and to produce foodstuffs and have become concerned about related long-term health issues.To which part do I belong?
11. • Population of the U.S. is increasing in wealth and is better able to afford (and willing to pay) higher prices for organic products.To which part do I belong?
12. • Buying organic food is an example of conspicuous consumption to display cultural preferences (a green lifestyle).To which part do I belong?
13. • Some consumers switch to organic products because they are concerned about the humane treatment of animals.To which part do I belong?
14. • Households have declined in size and have more disposable income to spend on higher-quality (organic) food rather than lower-quality (nonorganic) food.To which part do I belong?
15. • Better advertising and marketing systems have made organic products more appealing to consumers, thereby increasing the demand for goods and profitability.To which part do I belong?
16. • The demand has increased, aided by the growth of chains of supermarkets dedicated to organic products, which has increased profitability and led to the growth of suppliers for these chainsTo which part do I belong?
17. The number of farms, including dairy farms, in the United States is decreasing, owing to one or more of these factorsTo which part do I belong?
18. Dairy farmers close to cities where dairy farms traditionally have been located (milk shed) have been displaced by urbanization, leading to a decline in the number of dairy farms overall.To which part do I belong?
19. Increasing demand for organic products has made organic agriculture profitable and led to a growth in organic farming (both large-scale and small-scale).To which part do I belong?
20. Shifts in organic agriculture have led to better care for the land (land stewardship, sustainability, environmental concerns).To which part do I belong?
21. Small farms competing with large-scale farms (agribusiness) are forced to shift to more profitable agriculture.To which part do I belong?
22. • As stewards of the land, farmers/consumers wish to sustain it in the same state they found it rather than exhaust it or otherwise degrade it by the application of agricultural chemicals.To which part do I belong?
