High consumption in MEDCs due to rising incomes and increased exotic popularity

It's much more expensive to buy. It still increases food miles because there not enough organic produce to meet the demand so some is still exported

More awareness of environmental issues and awareness surrounding the exploitation of workers in the developing world

What are the negative effects of producing food locally?
It can be more expensive to buy and by reducing imported produce then we may be effecting the income of those in the LEDCS.

How can food be produced in a sustainable way?
Reduce food miles, organic farm to reduce impact on the environment, less food packaging to rescue waste, using fair trade systems to ensure growers in other countries are paid reasonable prices.

What makes Sustainable food production difficult?
Local land may not be suitable. Organic farming methods produce much less. With Less land and more demand, intensive farming methods have to be used.
