Food security solution
- We need to re-negotiate Free Trade Agreements and remove agriculture from the WTO. The World Food Program should purchase food locally at fair prices and pass over food to those in need; such practices would avoid “dumping” of cheap grains and feed more people. In the United States, food policy councils can localize and rationalize local food systems. Safety nets for low-income people should be improved to ensure good access to fresh, healthy food. Food banks should be supported to source fresh, healthy food from local farmers and through state-level commodities programs. Support independent community-based food businesses at home and abroad.
France Stopping Food Insecurity
France recently started enforcing the rule that big supermarkets must give unsold food to charities instead of throwing it away. This new law is set to crack down on food waste and stop food insecurity.
