Underutilized or neglected plant species may have tremendous nutritional value and have agroecological niches so that they survive drought, unfertilized, saline or waterlogged soils better than current commercial species. FOR WEBSITES SEE ASSIGNMENTS/CH 1 &2/Future Food. A list of species are in the table below. Answer the questions below for your species. (you can create a table with a column for each question, bullets for the answers with IN-TEXT citations.) At the end, include a REFERENCE LIST with 10 complete citations in APA format.

1) What is this food? (tree, fruit, vegetable, pulse, grain or something else)

2) Where is it from?

3) What is it’s unique nutritional value (protein, carbohydrates, fiber, fat, Vitamins)?

4) Current commercial production?

5) What risks (side effects, allergies, erosion, pollution) does it have?,

6) If we start to harvest it on a large scale in the wild or grow it commercially on farms, what impact do you think this will have on biodiversity?

The purpose of this question is for you to analyze the crop in question and how it is grown. Think about and analyze what impacts on biodiversity these agricultural methods would have if we increased production (or harvesting in the wild) of this crop. Where in the world is it grown? What biodiversity threats are present in that country (ies)? Would increased production make these worse or better? Would it harm native plants and animals, soil, air, water or human health? If it is harvested from the wild, can it regrow on its own or is the harvesting destructive? It may help you to read the textbook and cite it as well as sources about the crop and cite those too to answer this question about the connections between agricultural production and biodiversity.

Cultural Competency Assessment

Select a person from a cultural group different from your own and perform a cultural assessment by interviewing that person. Do not use a patient from your practice. Instead use a friend or colleague.

Here are some additional details that should help you complete this assignment.

Once you select a person from another cultural group, complete the cultural assessment using questions 1 through 12 provided in the section Overview, Inhabited Localities, and Topography from the chapter “The Purnell Model for Cultural Competence” of your textbook Guide to Culturally Competent Health Care.

This assessment is based on Purnell’s twelve domains of culture. Your assessment should cover all twelve boxes for the assignment to be complete. Use the grading criteria in the table below as a guide for what questions should be asked. For the sake of confidentiality, please do not reveal the name of the person you interview.

7. Chad M. has been working out with weights for the past year. His results have been modest – the body shaping he expected developed more slowly than he had hoped. Consequently, Chad decided to increase the frequency of his workouts so that he could build more muscle mass. One of the trainers at Chad’s gym learned of his goal and told him that he would have to eat more protein if he really wanted build muscle. Chad usually eats at least three meals a day, and sometimes snacks when his schedule permits. Other weight lifters at the gym told Chad that there was no way he could get enough protein from food. They told Chad that the secret to quick muscle growth involves using a supplemental protein powder. Another friend told Chad that he should consume protein before his workouts. And another said that eating protein right after his workout would be most effective.

Chad now lifts weights four or five days a week, typically in the evening after work and classes. He also jogs or rides a stationary bike as often as he can, but he has trouble making time. Chad wants to do everything possible to meet his goal. He is 5’10” and weighs 165 pounds.

a. Using the formula in the ‘How To’ box on page 185, how much protein should Chad eat? Hint: Remember that Chad is doing frequent resistance training. Use a protein requirement of 1.2 g/kg/day. Show your work.

b. Will eating a lot of protein increase the strength of Chad’s muscles?

c. Do you think Chad will have to consume protein supplements to get the total amount of protein he needs?

8. List seven roles of proteins in the body and detail the importance of each role defined.
