Unit B

1. Food security is a huge growing issue, Its not just in countries that are struggling but also in developing countries. The population is projected to triple by 2050 which means it will contain 9 billion people, at this point not only will the current population have food security but so will the extra 6 billion people.

2. Some Stakeholders affected would be the Farmers in both developed and undeveloped countries and the environment, policy makers, investors, etc.

3. Social: Only 1/3 of the food on food truck is used the rest is thrown out because it doesn't look good enough.
Ethical: Farmers aren't doing anything organically anymore as they use chemicals to grow stuff faster.
Environmental: Farmers are using more and more chemicals on their land and don't realize that they are ruining land for the future where we will need every little bit we can get to feed 9 Billion people.

4. Developing countries are also at stake for this, they will be very busy with heavy traffic and prices will skyrocket up considering supply and demand. Today water seems very accessible but that might not be the case in the future because we don't have very much of it.

5. There are so many scientists out there with new technology looking for food security in 2050 it isnt impossible it's just really difficult to begin because there are ways to approach this but we need maximum efficiency.

6. To test this we have started a group project in class where we made Aquaponics systems. An aquaponics system uses fish waste to grow the plants.

7. There are many little things that we can do to help food security and I think the key one is to use all the food that is produced and not to throw it away because it doesn't look good. Composting is another one that can help the environment. We also need to bring this to people so they are aware of what is happening because i don't think very many people know about this.
