Case Western Reserve University Food Systems Discussion

You will learn about Food Systems this week. As you saw last week with the “Future of Meat” documentary from the environmental health lectures, our current dietary and agricultural practices are unsustainable for 7.8 billion people. Unless we shift our infrastructure, we may likely run into issues ranging from increased antibiotic resistance, lack of food, insufficient land and/or climate change.

In the United States, we are generally a food secure nation (meaning as a country we have food but of course that doesn’t mean everyone in the country has food-i.e the ecological fallacy) and we will not feel the immediate impacts as heavily as low and middle income countries. These are the foreseeable problems that food system was bracing for. However, the Coronavirus pandemic has caused an even greater strain. Here is a link to what is currently happening with the Dairy industry in Okeechobee, Florida. The second link is talking about nation wide food waste as a result of this pandemic, with some examples of Florida industries.
