It was surprising to me to learn that food was being transported from one county to the other over 10,000 years ago. According to me, instead of moving away from this notion we have turned our means of getting food and its quality worse today. One would imagine that before we were to let this catastrophe happen we would have devised solutions bigger and more sustainable than the one we have today. Unfortunately, industrial Agriculture has shaped our world and multinational corporations have taken custody and control of our food system.It is true that our population is rising at a pace faster than we can sustain it. However, It is not too late for us to start making changes to the flaws that we see in our food system. For instance, I believe there are solutions better than conventional agriculture in meeting our food needs. For example, the adoption of organic farming technologies in our conventional agriculture is a great way of improving our crop yields. Next, if each and every one of us were to grow some of the most basic vegetables that we need daily, we will contribute tremendously to a healthier solution to growing our food. After all it is us, consumers that run the food market and thus public scrutiny can make a difference in the economy. By taking more into account, the distances our food travel and how it is produced, we can help reduce the higher prices of organic food and allow for its availability to those who cannot afford it.Reference: partlysunnyrisd.blogspot.com
