Sustainability and interdependence

The complex interdependence between organisms is explored through food production, interrelationships and biodiversity.

1) Science of food production

The challenge of feeding the human population is explored through a study of photosynthesis, plant and animal breeding and crop protection.

3) Biodiversity

An examination of past biodiversity and extinctions leads to a focus on how biodiversity is measured and the current threats to biodiversity.

2) Interrelationships and dependence

The interdependence of organisms is explored through the study of symbiosis and the underlying science of social behaviour.
