Feast and Famine | Geography | A-Level | MSF

This complex interrelated and wide-ranging resource has been created for students of A-Level/IB geography. It addresses the following topics: food security, food security index, hunger, malnutrition, famine, theory on food security, contemporary data, Madagascar case study, climate change, climate change modelling, desertification, malnutrition, Chad case study, fragile states, conflict and malnutrition and an Afghanistan case study. The resource showcases the work carried out by Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in relation to topics above.

This set of presentations is intended to be used flexibly by teachers with the prime target group being students of A Level Geography. It also meets many of the requirements of the International Baccalaureate and some of the slides could be used with students of A Level Biology. Teachers may also want to select specific slides to use with students studying GCSE Geography or indeed as foundation for study during the early years of secondary education.

Throughout the presentation students are encouraged to take an active, organised and responsible approach to their learning and preparation for public examinations.

It is anticipated that teachers will select, adapt and, most importantly, mediate and tailor the slide shows to match the requirements of their examination specification, the learning needs of their students and the context and culture of their school or college.
