In this chapter, we will be learning about nutrition and food technology. We will start by understanding what a balanced diet is and how to estimate the value of calories in food samples through experiments.
Next, we will explore the nutrient requirements of plants, including macronutrients and micronutrients, and conduct experiments to study the effects of nutrient deficiency on plants. We will also learn about the Nitrogen Cycle and its importance in the environment.
Lastly, we will discuss food production technology and how it can improve the source, quality, and quantity of food production. We will evaluate the use of insecticides and biological controls in this process.
