Food Poverty

  • Food poverty is a structural problem with
    economic, political, socio-cultural and ethical dimensions.
    It cannot be solved by feeding programs alone.
  • Food poverty results in powerlessness (physical and political).
    Political powerlessness in turn leads to more intense food poverty.
    It's a vicious cycle.
  • Food sovereignty, availability, accessibility, affordability and
    safety should be guaranteed regardless of one's social category.*
  • As globalization increases in scale and scope,
    the gap in the access to quality food between the
    overfed and the malnourished also widens (dualism).
