A level geography survey for my daughter

Done to the best of my ability but with the wording of some of the questions that wasn’t easy.
Obviously I’ve heard of set aside but I didn’t tick the box because it stated that farmers were paid not to farm the land in order to increase biodiversity, I’m certainly not sure that was an aim of set aside nor convinced it’s something it achieved.

Similar with quotas, I’m not sur the definition given matched the realities so I didn’t tick the box

I have filled in the survey as far as possible, but your Daughter seems to be under the impression that Organic Farming is all good and sustainable, and that Conventional Farming is all bad.

We did have a discussion about this, but she too agrees that probably the people writing the coarse content are middle class, Guardian readers?!
