Overview – the threats to food
Life expectancy in Ireland is 80. What year will you turn 80?What year will your kids/grandkids
turn 80?What will life be like on Earth then?

Climate Change
Our food system CAUSES climate change (40% total emissions)
climate change THREATENS our food supply
![Page 5: Research & Training 2015 Delivered by Lourdes Youth and Community Services Healthy Eating Without Costing the Earth 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f325503460f94c4ec69/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Climate Change
The global food system as a whole produces nearly 40% of carbon emissions. This includes producing, packaging, transporting, storing and cooking food
Worldwide livestock farming generates 18% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions.
Transport is only 13%of greenhouse gas emissions. This obviously has major implications for food policy.
2006 report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

Resource Threats
Land - land ownership, esp in developing world is v unequal and dates to colonial times.
Soil - since 1960, one-third of the world’s arable land has been lost through erosion and other degradation.
Water - By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages.
Seeds/Genetic Modification - In last few decades a few huge companies have used intellectual property laws to commodify the world seed supply

Peak Oil
It has taken between 50-300 million years to form, and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years or so.
Cheap oil is running out. Oil is now being consumed four
times faster than it is being discovered, and the situation is becoming critical.

Population Growth
The global population of 7.2 billion is set to increase to 9.6 billion by 2050
Many will want ‘western diet’

Labour Issues
As food producers become locked into global food chains, their prices are forced downwards, they try to stay profitable by increasing their use of flexible labour.
IN UK in 2002–03 a cut-throat price war by supermarkets on bananas led to prices falling by over 20 per cent, thus, the extremely low prices then being paid would have made it impossible for Costa Rican growers to continue to pay their workers the legal minimum wage.

15
Labour Issues
In general, work in food sector, becoming more informal, less reliable.
Women tend to get more casual and informal work. Migrants also vulnerable to exploitation
Huge TNCs have the most power, and can control wages so as to keep profits up.
Safety issues are also a concern e.g. use of chemicals, fertilisers for agricultural workers.
Child labour e.g. cocoa & coffee industries Slave labour e.g. Thai shrimp industry

The Problems with Processed
• Unhealthy – high sugar, salt, fat
• Addictive ingredients to sell
• Cheap Fillers e.g. cellulose, horse
• Lower welfare (people and animals)
• More impact planet• High marketing, e.g. to kids• Less educated, poorer more
susceptible

Food Processing
Invents a new product/a new desire or ‘need’
Adds ‘value’ (profit) to food items e.g. Turns cheap or free (US corn) crop into highly profitable
We pay for the ads and marketng and packaging
‘Externalises’ costs such as water, soil, land

Cheap crops for food industry
MonocultureNeeds lots of fertiliser & pesticide &
waterHuge areas land, removes people &
animalsNeeds lots oilSend all over worldGMO in US etc. Some subsidised e.g. Corn in USFloods 3rd world markets, small
farmers lose

Processed industrial food
Big businessRelies on cheap raw materials such
as corn, soy, wheat, sugar, palm oilGrown using pesticides, lots of oil
etc. Often uses bulkers e.g. wood or
waterAdvertising & marketing important

What other innovative technology did you avail of? (GMO, antibiotics, modern pesticides etc.)
You also own the plantation in ____________. How did you deal with the emerging trade union movement there, which is trying to get higher wages for workers?
Do you avail of any off-shore tax solutions?
Do you enjoy any government subsidies or have you benefited from any recent free trade agreements?
Environmental legislation is a growing problem for many manufacturers in that part of the world, due to the threat of climate change, soil erosion and habitat destruction. How did you minimise costs in this area?
What about the demand from consumers and government to lessen dangerous additives and sugar?
What was your marketing strategy? Which age group did you target and why?

Industrial Food System
Fertilisers (after 2nd World War from munitions plus
cheap oil)
Monoculture to produce large
amount grain/other cash crops
Pesticides to control pests from
monoculture
Antibiotics for intensive produced
animals
What to do with surplus?• Give as Food Aid to 3rd
World (make dependent)• Process to add value• Force Free Trade laws to
open new markets
Consequences: • Disease from processed
food in US, UK• Hunger when poor can’t
buy food• Loss

Global Obesity
2.1 billion people – nearly 30% of the world’s population – are either obese or overweight (The Lancet)
Huge rise in last 30 yearsMajor public health epidemic in
both the developed and the developing world.

Obesity & Inequality
Obesity rises in line with inequality (e.g. US high, Japan low)
Lower education/income associated with obesity
Poorer (low and middle income countries) now seeing huge rise in obesity & related illnesses

Hunger & Malnutrition
805 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, hungry.
42 percent reduction in the prevalence of undernourished people between 1990–92 and 2012–14.
World produces more than enough food, but these people lack land to grow or money to buy food.

37
Nutritional Transition
In rich countries since 1970s , more processed foods, away from home eating and more edible oils and sugar-sweetened drinks. Less exercise.
In poorer countries from early 1990s but only recognized when diabetes, hypertension and obesity began to dominate the globe.
Few countries are serious in addressing prevention of the dietary challenges faced.
“Western diet.” high intake of refined carbohydrates, added sugars, fats, and animal-source foods. Diets rich in legumes, other vegetables, and coarse grains are disappearing in all regions and countries.

Food Waste (Tristam Stuart)
9 biscuits = global food supplyFollowing is LOST:
1 biscuit = lost @ farm (e.g. no fridges) 2 biscuits = 3 fed to livestock, but 2/3 of
that turns to heat and feces 2 = throw away directly into bins.

In small groups take 3 photos of low, middle and high income country family & what they eat in 1 week. Compare photos from the 3 places.
What are main differences Which are healthier, more sustainable
diets? What do the pictures say about trends
in food as we get richer? Why are diets changing? How do the photos compare to food
consumed in Ireland past and present?

Rate the factors that influence food choices around the world:
Amount of land they have and the weather/climate
Price of food Their class, social group or ethnicity Government advice on healthy eating e.g.

Reading Labels: Sugar
Total sugar content. Should be less than 5% or 5gm per 100gm to be low sugar food.
Allow extra 5gm more if a diary product as lactose is sugar.
Divide gms of sugar by 4 to get teaspoons e.g. 8gm is 2 teaspoons. Max per day should be 6-9 for adults. Most getting 35-40 teaspoons.

How many ingredients? Can you pronounce?
How much nutrition? Protein, iron, calcium..
Fat. Most oils (fat) in processed food are refined and not healthy.
Low Fat/No fat Many experts say full fat diary is healthier as less refined.
Salt Controversial whether we should avoid, but unrefined has more minerals.

Comparing Foods Look at nutritional info – do you have any high sugar
or high fat foods. Is it healthy fat? Do you have non-food ingredients? Do you trust
them? Compare the label images and claims with the
nutritional info – any differences? Where do you think the main ingredients come from
(small sustainable farm/ large industrial farms/Ireland or abroad/factory or farm) ?
Which ingredients are addictive? Which are ‘bulkers’ or ‘enhancers’? Do you think any nutrients have been lost in the
product? Is it good value for money in terms of nutrition? If no
price, guess. Do you think your items are made sustainably?

Organic – yes or no?
Healthy antioxidants and lower levels of toxic metals and pesticides. (latest 2014
researchhttp://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/11/organic-food-more-antioxidants-study)
switching to organic fruit and veg could give the same benefits as adding 1 or 2 portions of the recommended "five a day".
Organic farming protects soil and pollutes water less.
BUT it is more expensive. Check out Dirty Dozen list of most toxic fruit and veg.

• Half of what we spend on food and drink comes from abroad
60% of imports could be produced in Ireland e.g. potatoes, carrots, apples ,fish, poultry, pork.
40% we couldn’t produce due to climate, e.g. tea, chocolate, oranges

If there was a problem and Ireland couldn’t import/transport food, within 7 days there would be food shortages.
If Ireland had to go back to being self-sufficient in food it would take 7 years.

Are we self-sufficient?

Why do we import stuff we could produce?
Neoliberal Globalisation/Free Trade – all markets are ‘open’, food is another commodity to be traded. Via WTO
Price – poorer countries often produce food at cheaper prices. Most fresh whole chickens here are Irish, once you go to catering level at the sandwich bar or café, nearly all of it is cheaper imports, often from Brazil and Thailand.
Industry issues –e.g. Boyne Valley Honey, says most of their honey is imported from Europe and South America because of the wet climate, lack of beekeepers and demise of Irish bees.

Neoliberal Globalisation
Promotes: economic liberalisation, privatisation, free trade, open markets, deregulation, reductions in government spending, enhance private sector.
How: free trade agreements, CAP, World Trade Organisation (rules for members), IMF & World Bank, EU

Policy Result
Reducing/removing taxes and tariffs, subsidies, price controls
You can’t protect indigenous food industry from cheap imports, food flown round the world
Deregulation (labour standards)
Wages go down, unions quashed, no minimum wage
Deregulation (environmental protection)
Big companies can cut rainforest to grow cash crops
Deregulation (animal & food protection)
Lower standards of welfare for animals and lower standards of food production
Free (liberal) trade

The World Trade Organization (WTO) supervises
and liberalises international trade.
Started 1995, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which stated in 1948
Deals with regulation of trade between participating countries; e.g. trade agreements, dispute resolution
WTO is trying to complete Doha Development Round negotiations (deadline 2005) but developing and developed countries can't agree on rules to regulate agricultural trade (rich world want to keep subsidies and developing don't agree).
Famously tens of thousands protested against WTO in Seattle in 1999.
As with other international financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, the WTO's policies have been critisised for contributing to the widening gap between rich and poor, for benefitting mainly richer countries and for not seeking to protect labour rights and the environment.

TTIP Trade Agreement
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a trade agreement that is presently being negotiated between the European Union and the United States.
It aims at removing trade barriers in a wide range of economic sectors to make it easier to buy and sell goods and services between the EU and the US.
On top of cutting tariffs across all sectors, the EU and the US want to tackle barriers behind the customs border – such as differences in technical regulations, standards and approval procedures. These often cost unnecessary time and money for companies who want to sell their products on both markets..

Who has the power?
World food producers contracted by a known client who decides terms & price
Small number of companies = huge power large food retailers or supermarkets (for example,
Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Tesco, Metro); large food-processing companies (such as Nestlé,
Unilever, Danone, Sysco); large fast-food chains (such as McDonald’s, KFC,
Starbucks, Subway); and (iv) other non-food firms (such as Benetton) and
private equity firms (such as Texas Pacific, Apax) operating fast-food and/or food-processing operations.

'free' trade in agri-products
high-tech export oriented farming
low spending on domestic farming
open markets to food imports
privatisation (e.g. patent DNA)
increased use of fertilizers and pesticides
less land-reform
less rural reform e.g. irrigation
Globalisation of Global South agriculture
How were changes made?
Through IMF loan
conditionalities, or SAPs
Globalisation of Agriculture in South

Research Planning
What change would I like to see happen? (Who, what, where, when, how) & to what end?
If this doesn’t happen, what are risks for people and planet (bad health, poor exams, palm oil wrecking rainforest etc. )
What do I think are the barriers to this happening?
What info do I need/questions do I need to ask to find this out? Of whom?
![Page 113: Research & Training 2015 Delivered by Lourdes Youth and Community Services Healthy Eating Without Costing the Earth 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f325503460f94c4ec69/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
113
Research Planning
How can I check what services are already in place?
Who are the various stakeholders?/Who is likely to act on the info I generate?
What might they do, what do they need from me?
What is my own capacity/budget for this research/for a future project?
Can I combine getting info with a fun event/awareness raising?
![Page 114: Research & Training 2015 Delivered by Lourdes Youth and Community Services Healthy Eating Without Costing the Earth 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f325503460f94c4ec69/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
114
Research Planning
Is there a creative way I can display my findings for 8 Dec? Can I use photos, posters, graphs, quotes, video, case studies, stat, art, drama, music?
What are my top 2 or 3 ideas for my research project?
Can I do a SWOT analysis on them? (Compare strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats.

Examples of research project:AIM: reduce amount of sugary &
highly processed food in creches and preschool level in Greystones
FIND OUT: What is being fed to kids/extent of problem (visit creches?)
FIND OUT: are parents/docs/dentists seeing diet related problems in kids locally? Are creches aware? Why do they do it?
FIND OUT: more about the sugar industry globally, labour and environmental costs.

Ways of looking at WHY
When societies are industrialised, what is lost?
What are we addicted to? (Pre-mastication, far & sugar together, reward pathways)
What does sugar and junk replace, spiritually, emotionally?
Can we look at meeting a need rather than asking people to give something up?
Can we make healthy fashionable/desirable? Are their role-models? Young chefs? Musicians??

117
Project Ideas
POTENTIAL OUTCOME: Display of finding in library, talks to parents at Cuidui meetings.
PROJECT IN FUTURE: Campaign targeting creches etc. Produce a consent form that parents must sign before sugar given to their kids. (Not vice versa)
Using photoshop design posters of people giving cigarettes to kids with shock warnings. Tap into Say No campaign by SafeFood

118
Other Ideas:
Get kids and elders cooking together Community gardens selling preserves and ferments
or producing soup, healthy bars, herb packs, GIY packs, green smoothies,
Sharing Backyards Coops sharing wholefood orders Food maps of village/town/city Cookery Classes with a difference e.g. sustainability Urban gardening Ingredient Cards @ cookery classes Hungry Planet style photos of people’s
trolleys/dinners Art using recycled food containers Harnessing community orgs to help bring CSA/CG
produce to more people.

What are Community Kitchens?
A Community Kitchen is a group of like-minded individuals who come together on a regular basis to socialise and cook affordable and nutritious meals. The participants then sit down to share the meal or divide it up for each person to take home.
