Research either a Canadian technology or a project intended to help nourish expanding populations. In a one page report (double spaced), outline your findings. Include at least 2 references. How has the world population has changed over time and why the populations is increasing and relate this to the purpose of the technology or project intended to help nourish the population. Use the terminology and make connections to areas covered in this unit.
