Food Issues We Face
It has been hard to turn on a news show recently
without hearing that somewhere food problems are occuring.
Whether it is the cost and shortages of rice in the east,
protests over corn in Mexico, hunger in Africa, or food prices
down the street. But why is this happening all at once?
If we take a step back and look at the big
picture it becomes obvious that food is not an system unto
itself but is interconnected with numerous other systems.
Oil, water, arable land, weather, and population are but a
few of the systems interwoven into the global food network.
Add to this geopolitics, greed, and control and it can really
get complicated. To solve the coming food crisis we must first
understand it is not just a food crisis but a comprehensive
systems crisis. |
