Analyzing the Contribution of Provisioning Services to Food Security

Description: This quiz is designed to assess your understanding of the contribution of provisioning services to food security. Provisioning services are the material outputs from ecosystems that people use directly or indirectly for their survival and well-being. These services include the production of food, fiber, and water, as well as the provision of shelter and energy. Food security, on the other hand, refers to the availability of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all people at all times.
