In order to incentivise large meat purchasers and end users to purchase SeaForest's supplements, Sam is developing a transparent way for all participants in the supply chain to see the methane reductions they're supporting. By providing QR codes for farmers and packers to include in their documentation and packing, everyone can trace back to the methane reduction impacts of the meat they're purchasing. They'll also be able to see a live tracker of the overall methane reduction that SeaForest has made. Provide four ways that SeaForest can use this information to increase their sales.

7 Nine months after going live with the project, Sam has been contacted by an eco-terrorism organisation explaining that they have been able to breach SeaForest's systems and obtain a list of all of the farmers that use their products as well as the amount of methane they've reduced. They have threatened to use that information to target other farmers who do not use SeaForest supplements with targeted protests and disruptions. Provide a critical analysis of the four risk management responses available to Sam along with a recommendation. Copy and paste the following answer template onto the answer field.

6 Sam has decided to implement the live tracking analysis of methane reduction and has hired a technology consulting team to implement the systems needed to create this. In order to go live, the consulting team will need to create a system that tracks the number of livestock that are being given SeaForest supplements, the amount of methane reduced through their lifespan, and the breakdown of that methane reduction when the animal is prepared into it's various cuts. It will also need to be able to allow for end users to create their accounts and track their own methane reduction scores. Sam has worked out a budget for this project and hopes to have it completed within six months to align with their planned marketing campaign The technology consultants have found it more difficult than expected to create a system that tracks the meat all the way to the end user, and have communicated that the project will take longer than expected. a.

Sam has decided to take this idea one step further by allowing end user customers to keep track of the amount of methane they have saved over time by recording their purchasing history. Users will be able to create an account by entering their name and location. The system will then be able to show live leaderboards of methane savings in each location. a. Provide two security issues and one ethical issue which could result from the information provided in this question. (3 marks) b. For each of these issues provide one action that Sam can take to mitigate the risk. (12 marks) Copy and paste the following answer template onto the answer field. Fill in your answer accordingly. a.

What is the main source of methane emissions contributing to the greenhouse effect?1 mark Agriculture and livestockIndustrial processes Forest firesTransportation

The northern tip of Earth stores vast amounts of carbon within its frozen soil, known as permafrost–soil that remains frozen for more than two consecutive years. Thawing permafrost opens new pathways for carbon to be released to the atmosphere, often as methane gas.USGS scientist Ferdinand Oberle has begun testing a technique for measuring methane escaping from thawing permafrost in coastal Arctic bluffs. The system uses off-the-shelf industrial components mounted on a drone aircraft. A test of the methane detector on  Barter Island, Alaska, has proven to be more sensitive than originally expected. Data collected along 1.25 miles of coastal bluffs has revealed spots where methane emissions were particularly high, which has been linked to zones of erosion.Because methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, many institutions and scientists have been trying to determine how much escapes from the land and the sea into the atmosphere. To do this, they typically rely on satellite imagery, data from sensors on manned aircraft, and samples collected on the ground.“Up until now, methane measurements have been limited to large research institutions, government agencies and so on,” says Ferdinand Oberle, USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellow and designer of the new methane-measurement technique.Oberle and his co-authors from the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center have been studying  erosion along the Arctic permafrost coast, which is one of the most dramatically changing environments in the world. Previous research has shown that erosion is generally increasing along Alaska’s north coast, with the shoreline retreating an average of 4.5 feet per year and, in some stretches, more than 65 feet per year.“Usually, bluff erosion can only be detected after the fact,” says Oberle. “We’re trying to identify areas of erosion through methane release and develop an early detection system."The results look promising so far. Data collected during September 2017 show methane hotspots were closely associated with melt-water run-off channels, a clear sign of thawing permafrost. The scientists plan to return to Barter Island at the end of the summer of 2019 to see whether the drone-based detection system can predict erosion hotspots through early identification of methane emissions.Credit: U.S. Geological SurveyQuestionWhich of the following best describes the author’s claim?ResponsesPermafrost melts at a very high rate from natural climate change.Permafrost melts at a very high rate from natural climate change.Ground sensors are the best way to track permafrost melting in Alaska.Ground sensors are the best way to track permafrost melting in Alaska.Drones could be a valuable and inexpensive way to collect data on methane release.Drones could be a valuable and inexpensive way to collect data on methane release.Alaska is the best place to document the loss of permafrost from anthropogenic activities.
