Topic > The Global Food Crisis - 718

The global food crises of 2007-2008, which are largely linked to both the biophysical environment and energy crises, do not provide a clear casualization. The event manifested itself indirectly both in the lack of supply and in the exponential increase in the prices of basic foods. By understanding the multiple dimensions of the 2007-2008 global food crisis, the paper identifies a series of interconnections between issues related to food, poverty and power contracts, and the contrasting roles between the corporate food regime and food sovereignty . However, there is no simple solution to sustainably feeding seven billion people in the world today, especially as many are increasingly getting better and converging on higher income consumption patterns. The answer to prevent future catastrophe is not just to maximize productivity, but to optimize the complex supply chain around the world through environmental and socio-political outcomes according to the values ​​and ethical perspectives we value. Many of the disagreements about sustainable intensification arise because the values ​​and ethical perspectives we bring to the discussion have different sustainability indicators provided by science, the power and motivations we attribute to individuals, businesses and governments, and the scale and time frame we adopt . There is a real need for policy makers to take values ​​more seriously and explicitly incorporate analysis of the different perspectives that people bring into discussions about food security and sustainability. The role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) In order to achieve greater efficiency in the use of raw materials and sustainability, two objectives can be achieved through the role of CSR: sustainable technological innovation, currently, genetic.... .. middle of paper......ie such as that of expiry dates which has inadvertently increased food waste should be re-examined within a more inclusive framework of competing risks (Godfray et al., 2010). A final consideration on the role of CSR is that an essential step is to find a way to reward farmers for what it takes to produce high-quality products. (sustainable), but also taking care of the environment and the production system in the long term. In his book Coming Famine, Julian Cribb recommends measures to develop sustainable, low-energy agriculture by reducing waste in the food chain, establishing and promoting low-energy diets, recycling municipal waste into food production systems, and creating green cities. He says: “People have no problem with the idea of ​​fair pay for bankers, lawyers, trade unionists, nurses, actors, civil servants, economists or politicians – so what's wrong with fair pay for farmers??”
