Assignment Description  
  
You  will write a research paper about the demographic transition model and  global food production and distribution for a growing human population  to meet global food security goals. You must use APA format for the  paper and documentation.
Include the following: 

Describe the demographic transition model and how it was developed by demographers.  
Describe the 4 phases of demographic transition.   

For each phase, compare crude birth rates (CBR) to crude death rates  (CDR), and state whether the population is stable, growing, or  declining in each. · 

According to demographers, what factors lead to a decline of  the CDR in phase two and the CBR in phase three of the demographic  transition? ·  
Briefly describe 3 living conditions in developed countries  that have reached phase four, and contrast them with these same  conditions in developing countries that remain in earlier phases.   

Note: When comparing and contrasting, include details for each of  the entities being compared and contrasted. For example, if comparing  availability of clean water in a developed country, contrast  availability of clean water in a developing country. 

Research and describe a program for developing countries that would help improve 1 of the 3 conditions that you compared.  
Food security means that everyone has an adequate  amount of nutritious food to lead healthy lives. Research and describe 1  specific program that helps developing countries reach food security  goals.
