Use quotation marks to search phrases:

"Environmental impact" "food processing"

"food security" Australia

Images

World Book & Gale Science in Context have great images that can be used (see above for links to these databases)

Images need to be listed in your bibliography just like every other source you use.  Remember to find the original internet page/link to the image, the creator, and the date it was created.
