Technology has impacted food availability in France by:
- Fridges, help store meat, vegetables, fruits and pastry for longer amounts of time. This reduces the amount of waste produced.
- Mass production on farms, has speeded up the growing process as the seeds can now be planted quicker because tractors rather than people plant them now. Also, fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides affect the growth of the crops.
Climate affects food availability in France by:
- Minerals, soil type, scents from fungus', plants and wildlife, affect the taste of whatever is grown in them
- The air quality will also affect the taste. Polluted air will change the taste for bad and clean, fresh air will affect the taste for good.
- The amount of rain affects how well certain crops grow. A lot of rain might flood the crops and no rain at all will dry the crops out, so in between is a good balance.
