Food production: cause and effect
One of the important global issues is food production that has become a problem for
our world. Some of the factors are the change of weather, price increases, over population,
etc. this factors have cause a lot of hunger and infectious diseases because of the chemicals
they use know. During this article you are going to learn
and get to know some facts that would help you understand
some of the food production causes and effects.
Food production had become one of the global
issues. Some of the causes of this problem its
overpopulation; as the population growth the demand of
food increases and the prices too. That requires new tools that can create more quantity of
food in a less time. These tools may cause a bad environment. Other factor is the
Dramatically change of weather, The change of weather makes more difficult the growth of
food especially the food that grows in land such as fruits, vegetables, an cereals. As the
price increases people don’t buy a good quality of food, they prefer to buy cheaper food
that contains chemicals that damage your body. Other problem is the land fields and the
people that are not enough to make all that food that we need. About 854 million people
were undernourished because of the price increase. The Food production crisis has cause
that over may drive another 100 million people into poverty and hunger. This causes a
threat to global food and nutrition security.
Now companies such as Millennium Development
Goals, Global Response to High Food Prices, and New Deal
on Global Food Policy help people that don’t have food and
try to give them what they can. These companies had helped
a lot of people during these past years, but it didn’t help stop
this issue.
Solutions for food production
As you know we don’t have any more land fields
and people who produce food. Well most of the people
who worked in the crops are already in the city because
there is the center of trading so they obtain more money. A
solution for this may be to stop using these lands for things
that we don’t need or we can use other things to create it
like petroleum. Petroleum is also killing a lot of fishes that
are also parts of our food. This land that all the petroleum is taking because of the
explosions may be crops. With that people that have gone to the cities we cannot do
anything but we can help poor kids with work and that work may give education to a lot of
people. At some point this trading will also end because there is not going to be food so
they can’t trade anything more. The best solution is paying the farmers to stay there and
have a good salary and necessary things to stay in the farm. Most of the food we have,
come from the lands but with no more people to work on them less food we would have. If
we products much food then the population is going to increase and the lands of food are
not going to be enough. So we have to measure how much food we have and how much
people there are. This problem of over population is not only here I Ecuador but we have it
in all he world. A good solution is that each government controls the number of people
because with more people we need more food and that is what we don’t have.
For having a good city with a regulated level of exportations and importations the
food production depends a lot. A big city with a lot of
food can be an individual city, which importations are
not necessary and they can live with the things they
produce. Many people can die including the ones that
know about crops and food if we don’t regulate the
over population and most problems that we have for
food production. In this issue is also involved global warming because of the weather. But
we can’t change what every people do, this should be auto-control from everybody.
What is food production?
Food production is a current global issue. It is happening in the entire world,
but especially in Africa. Food production is defined as the production of food that in some
ways damages and destroys the world. One of the main problems that are happening right
now with this global issue is that food production is required in the entire world, but a lot of
problems go with that. One of the main problems is that prices of food in the entire world
are increasing; one of the other problems that this issue presents is that over population is
arising to a lot of countries in the world. Also a few years ago global demand for food
increased. People who sell food are producing more food because more people needed, as
we said before population each time is growing and growing. That is a good impact for
food producers. The Production of food is also sometimes affected by weather; other
problem is that exporting food to another country is turning to be difficult because people
are imposing restrictions. Some sources of information say that because of the rise of food
cost, and because this crisis may go up. Food production is a global issue that is arising in
almost all the parts of the world.
It’s an issue to be scared about
because with just one issue a lot
of areas may be damaged, such as
poverty, hunger and
unemployment of food products.
