3. DP Hunger and the Pursuit of Profit
Completion requirements
Our global food system is in crisis. One hundred million people may join the 860 million who already do not have enough to eat. While a growing number of people do not have the money they need for food or the resources to grow their own, investors and corporations are posting unprecedented profits. The primary problem is that food is treated as a commodity to be bought and sold for profit, not as the fundamental right that it is. Food security has therefore been left to market forces, resulting in wide-spread hunger.
