Does the United States still have food security issue? if so, how do you think is the best way to solve it? your answer can be focused on the country in general or a certain population ( children, women, students, etc.)
Ans) The United States is leading international efforts to address the need that people around the world have for reliable sources of quality food.
- American aid is, in part, directed to food security — ensuring every nation has the ability to feed its population adequate amounts of nutritional foods.
- Growth in the agriculture sector has been found, on average, to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
- Food insecurity – often rooted in poverty – decreases the ability of countries to develop their agricultural markets and economies.
- Access to quality, nutritious food is fundamental to human existence. Secure access to food can produce wide ranging positive impacts, including:
• Economic growth and job creation
• Poverty reduction
• Trade opportunities
• Increased global security and stability
• Improved health and healthcare
