Food Security
I'm learning more about food security right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is "Why is food security such a big issue all around the world?" I was researching this question online and
this news article caught my attention because it explains why Africa is
suffering from food security. The title Fighting for Africa's food security, is
very interesting and relates to my question as to why is food security
such a big issue all around the world, especially in Africa.
"When I was a child growing up in Zimbabwe, my grandmother used to go to the
same one-acre plot of land each day and work long and exhausting hours.
When I asked her why she put herself through this, she replied: 'This
is how I wake up every day, this is how I survive.' I am now in my
twenties and my grandmother is still out there on her plot each day."
When I asked her why she put herself through this, she replied: 'This
is how I wake up every day, this is how I survive.' I am now in my
twenties and my grandmother is still out there on her plot each day."
The quote I chose here is basically saying that the people in Africa are
working their buts off on the fields day by day and aren't making
enough or any money at all trying to survive. This is something we have
to think about, since more people in the US are not working so hard to
provide food on the table.

I think this is spiteful that in the 21st century people still have to go out in the
fields and work many hours of the day under the boiling heated sun just
to make a decent living. It makes me wonder how many people take things
for granted and are soo self minded that they don't really care about
other people who cant even afford bread. This is article is a good
example of that, and now people want the African voices to be heard. WE
SHOULD TAKE A STEP FORWARD AND MAKE A CHANGE!
