Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) estimó que en 2010 había novecientos veintidós millones de personas subnutridas en el mundo.[1] Ya tenemos bastante viviendo subtnutridas mientras el porcentaje más pequeña está viviendo en exceso y con doscientos diecinueve mil personas añadidas a “la mesa de cena mundial”, es imperativo que buscamos la clave al acceso alimentario para todos.[2]

Foodshed Foundations: Law's Role In Shaping Our Food System's Future, Margaret Sova Mccabe
Law Faculty Scholarship

In turn, greater roles for different levels of government may help America achieve greater efficiencies in domestic food safety, nutrition and related public health issues, sustainability, and international trade.
Americans need a greater voice in the food system. The foodshed model is a powerful vehicle that allows us to conceptualize change, allowing greater citizen participation and a more nuanced approach to food policy. The …
