The increased need for eco-foodies has been on the rise. Robert Paarlberg in an article Attention Whole Food Shoppers provides dissenting views on how food security can be achieved. To Robert Paarlberg, changing our shopping and eating habits is a crucial aspect in helping the poor gain food security. Robert Paarlberg, however, argues that the aspect of food security should not be based on the international food prices. To Robert, international food prices do not reflect the true picture on demand or the supply of the food.…
According to statistics, more than one billion people in the world are undernourished today. In his article “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers”, Robert Paarlberg discusses recent food policy of Western countries, according to which food products should be organic and local. In result, poor African countries experience hunger and worsening of the agriculture infrastructure because most Western countries lost their interest to invest the agricultural systems of developing countries. While in the West food becomes more and more exquisite, poor countries become deprived of the most basic food products, such as rice, wheat, and others. Paarlberg emphasizes that helping developing countries is no more a trend today and the world market is justified…
The primary way buying only locally grown foods helps the economy is that it promotes the growth of small farms. The amount of these small farms “has increased 20% in the past six years, to 1.2 million, according to the agriculture department” (Source E). The increased amount of small, local farms means convenient for locavores, but that the success of the farms depends on them. A rise of the locavore movement in a community means they will stop buying produce grown elsewhere and will turn to these local farms looking for business. The business the farms will receive will sustain the farms and their owners.…

A city this big and growing is distancing itself from farms and fresh food due to urbanization. In a study published by the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research, 22% of families were considered severely insecure about food within the past month (CANADIAN JOURNAL). Severely food insecure is defined by not having enough food or healthy food to feed yourself or your family for that specific day (CANADIAN JOURNAL). Of those 2.615 million people mentioned above, 51% live outside of a 1-kilometer walk from a grocery store (Lu, 2010). One kilometer is considered to be an acceptable walking distance to get groceries as it is difficult to walk longer distances without a car (Lu, 2010).…
Food security requires that purchase prices reflect the full cost of production. Industrial agriculture relies on chemical, nonrenewable inputs rather than natural, continuously regenerated sources. It has increased food insecurity by destroying small farms, rural communities, and the small farmers’ capacity to produce diverse total yields of nutrient-rich crops. The Community Food Security Coalition (CFSC) leaders, Michael Hamm and Anne Bellows, define community food security as “a condition in which all community residents obtain a safe, culturally acceptable, nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes community self-reliance and social justice.”…
Then, he backs up and shows how good sweatshops are in comparison. This point is also surrounded with personal stories. Smirl’s arguments are more systematic. She addresses how people romanticize the idea of locally grown food because they see it as “’safe, ‘nutritious,’ and ‘sustainable” (Smirl 2) Then she proceeds to explain why the current local food system doesn’t live up to the ideals.…
The Lack of Sustainable Nutritious Food Solutions Due to Unethical Governance via Land Grabbing for Industrial Agriculture The Land Grab is a prime example of unethical behavior. Government that is intended to enhance the lives of its citizens, but instead ends up “farming them out,” selling them a bill of goods that is not for the citizen’s benefit, but themselves (Verma, 2014). While considering Land Grab tactics, I wonder if Kantian Ethics are applicable.…

food insecurities in the United States, are not only geographical, but are also effected by social economic status of the community and individual. In the community an area can turn in to a food desert, “which is insufficient quantity or quality of food for the established prices within these neighborhoods.” (Besharov) This out prices what most individuals can afford causing a food disparity in these under established neighborhoods. In some of the research, the author previously stated, “he explains the importance of policies to change under established neighborhoods; along with making the grocery stores and access to food stores more sufficient.” (Besharov)…
