These are my recommendations for revising the article: Ethical eating.
Copied content from Ethical eating; see that page's history for attribution.
- I decided that the subsection "food availability" would better fit the information I have gathered, rather than "distribution of wealth"
- Deleted and rewrote the intro to this article
- Edited the second (and only other) sentence of this subsection
- Added more sentences to further the thoughts on why and if food availability has been as issue due to increasing exports
- Added my 3 citations (1, Van den Broeck) (3, Jongwanich) (4, Porkka)
Food availability
[edit]Since the early 2000s, the rate at which horticultural exports are taking place have grown exponentially in developing countries in Latin-America, Africa, and Asia. Horticultural exports include items like fruits and vegetables which are valued as high exports.[1] Horticultural exports aren't the only thing increasing, so are processed food exports.[2] Beginning in 1980, there has been a large increase in developing countries of processed exports that has gone on to shift the world's agricultural trade.[3] These new increasing exports from developing countries brought on concerns of food availability in these areas because they are producing and then selling much of their product. However research has shown that this is not the case. Based on a healthy and sustainable diet of at least 2500 (or more) calories, "the percentage of population living in countries with sufficient food supply has almost doubled." Even in countries like Brazil and Mexico of Latin America, the food supply has surplused to a diet that could sustain 3000 calories a day.[4]
