Right to Food
We do not think too much about what do we eat. Sometimes we do not think where it comes from, what it is? Does it taste good or awful? For some people, we do not have the luxury to think about what types of food we can have due to limited budget. Yet for some, due to allegries, they could not consume some of the foods like wheat, dairy, corn, rice, soya etc. Some could be due to the weather. Some due to the transportation limits. Some conflicts within countries. Some could be injustice. There could be reasons that I left out.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations theme for their World Food Day this year- Right to Food could not be the right time to bring issues of food and decreasing food supplies in and around the world. People around undeveloped, developing and also developed world are going hungry. Food are becoming more expensive due to exterior factors that it may or may not be able to control. eg: In North America, prices of oil goes up, food prices are going up. Developed countries are depending more developing or undeveloped countries in Africa and South America to feed the needs of the developed countries population. Now in China and India for example, their pollution levels are affecting their outputs of their local food productions that they are depending on exports on food. These are among many issues that we currently face and we are not limiting to these issues mentioned above.
We will look at the UN's portal Right to Food site-
Their big theme- Right to Food- The human right to adequate food without hunger.
The issues that between 2000-2015 that food supplies should be secure.
They have a Virtual Library for interested peoples concern.
Issues are broken down into five parts: then broken down into even more categories.
