Week 4

 

The article today talks about two ways to fight hunger: food "security" and food "sovereignty". Food security makes sure people have food, through government aid, and food sovereignty focuses on local control. The real problem is that big corporations control the food system, pushing out small farmers and local businesses. Instead of relying on big companies that only care about profit, we should support small farms and businesses that actually help their communities. Local food means better quality, stronger families, and less control in the hands of greedy elites.

To fix food insecurity, we need less government restraints and fewer giant corporations running the market. Big companies use regulations to crush small farms, making communities dependent on them. Instead of trusting global markets or government programs, we should cut "red tape" and help small businesses grow. Real food security comes from strong local economies where small farmers and not massive corporations are in control.
