Food Globalisation

During our contemplative exercise in class, I recognized how I play a role as a consumer in the international food system, and that I could be doing a better job in deciding on how I decide to source my own food, and that I can myself do a better job in making sure I don’t add to the evils of the international food chain by becoming a consumer by supporting an industry full of exploiting cheap labor and land across the world.

In a recent article I read, it was reported that almost 70% of produce and grains in an average country’s diet come from a different place, and to me this is astonishing. This just proves to me that the development of agriculture and mass production of foods can be used as an economic tool, but I do not believe that food should not be something that is used to create an economic gain.

Food should be something that helps aid economic gain by helping nourish the population of your country, as making sure everyone has a healthy diet is a key factor to ensure the health of people around the country. Food should be local and traceable, and the contemplative practice in class helped me realize that!
