Created by shiftN, this map visualizes the global interconnections among food, agriculture, water, energy, soil, and humans that comprise our food system.

Often, in the land of ubiquitous "sustainability", wouldn't our global food security be more stable -- wouldn't our Global Food System be STRONGER if we increased our focus on countries who blatantly and disgustingly OVERCONSUMED food -- tipping the system out of balance? 

 

unsustainable food consumption

This map presents the average annual level of food consumption per person, expressed in terms of calories per day.

I'm sorry, but do we really need 500 jars of condiments in every grocery store, on every corner, in every neighborhood?  We might . . . . .  What do you think?
