Info For Website
Grain and plant-food Use
The amount of food that is used to feed livestock could solve the hunger epidemic that we face, if only it was used to feed humans, rather than animal agriculture. Unfortunately, there is simply not enough land for livestock to graze and produce enough meat for the population's demand, so instead, farmers often feed them a mixture of soy and corn, which is not their natural diet. This results in approximately 40% of grain fed to livestock rather than humans, along with 50% of soy and 60% of corn. With the expected increase of the population in the future, it will simply be unsustainable to feed everyone this way, the simple solution to this huge issue would be to feed the world's population using the crops that we grow for us rather than to raise livestock for food.
Water use
A huge one-third of the earth’s fresh water is used in agriculture to produce the animal products that we buy and consume. One kg of beef uses a whopping 15,000 litres of water, so that we can have some steak. Not only this, but agriculture from runoff, waste, pesticides, fertiliser and more, is polluting the water, making it unsafe to drink. Case studies show that water pollution from agriculture has greatly impacted Lake Taupo, our once clean lake is turning toxic. Farmland will need to go in order to fix this and will cost the government millions to reverse the damage.
Dairy farming, called by some “Dirty Dairying" is a huge concern for the future of New Zealand. Farming practices have deemed the Waikato River as dangerous and toxic for human contact, this will be the future of all our fresh water if something doesn't change.
Deforestation
Animal agriculture is unarguably the biggest cause of deforestation, raising large issues and concern of the rate it is happening, as well as the security of the future. Around 70% of the Amazon Rainforest has been destroyed to agriculture and is continuing at an alarming rate, from increase of demand of animal products, they need more and more land to farm. The land is used to farm livestock rather than to grow food for human consumption, resulting in an unsustainable cycle. There will not be enough land on the planet to meet the demand of animal products for the growing population. The National Geographic states that within 100 years, we are likely to be left without a single rainforest, destroying animals habitats and dooming the earth with irreversible climate change.

After effects script
This is earth and these are some of the people on earth that don't have access to enough food…
This is Brian, he lives in America and consumes too many processed foods daily… Jen on the other hand lives in Africa where only low nutritional foods are available and are hard to find…
Even though earth has enough produce to feed everybody we still continue to use our resources unsustainably. Because of this we have high levels of obesity in some countries and high levels of malnourished people in others.
If we continue on this path our world will not last … BUT if we make small changes like buying less meat and shopping smarter by cutting out high processed foods we can start to rebalance food production and produce more nutritional foods that can be available everywhere.

Some good progress on the website and the layout, learning new ways to make it look how I want it to.

wireframe of the four website pages, I thought that an opening video to catch people into the homepage and create interest. An information page, and page with the main animation/ video and maybe a donation page or something along the lines.

start of a possible website- adding in the warmer colours as opposed to something predictable like green. Also trying to add in some of the symbols so it flows with the videos. I do need to add in some more themes for food sustainability.

Layouts of websites for inspiration we want to keep the website clean and easy to understand but still interesting to look at, we could do this by making something simple like the colour scheme pop.
