Introduction to global food security

The global food security situation is difficult due to malnutrition, population growth, climate change, and environmental harm caused by the food system itself.

 

Example: Imagine a city where a lot of people don't have enough to eat, meanwhile, the population is growing, and farming lands are getting threatened by climate change. It's like trying to fill up a bucket with holes in it!

United nations food & agriculture organization (FAO)

The FAO's goals include eradicating hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition, poverty, and promoting sustainable resource use.

 

Example: Imagine FAO as a superhero with multiple powers - battling hunger, protecting nature, and creating jobs for everyone.

FAO's real world impact

FAO launched projects to promote entrepreneurship and improve food safety in rural Honduras and Khulna, Bangladesh, respectively.

 

Example: It's like taking a chef's course and a food hygiene course for free, and then starting your food stall!

World food programme (WFP)

The WFP focuses on ending global hunger with four objectives.

 

Example: Think of WFP as a food delivery service that reaches out to the poorest and most vulnerable, ensuring everyone gets to eat.

Role of food security analysis

Identifies the most food-insecure people, the most suitable type of intervention, and ensures efficient use of resources.

 

Example: It's like using a food-tracking app that also recommends what meals are best for you and tracks how much you're spending.

The oroblem with agricultural subsidies

In the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization in 2001, many developing nations opposed the high agricultural subsidies in the US and EU, arguing they drive down global crop prices and maintain poverty.

 

Example: Imagine if you were selling homemade cookies at school, but the rich kid's parents were giving out free cookies. You wouldn't be able to compete!
