WEEK 5 - FOOD DEMAND AND SUPPLY

HELLO WORLD!

     Assalamualaikum, so here my blog is about Food Demand and Supply. What is demand? Demand is about the desire to purchase, coupled with the power to do so. Demand also about the quantity of goods that buyers will take at a particular price. Meanwhile, supply is the quantity of a commodity that is in the market and available for purchase or that is available for purchase at a particular price. There have a relationship between demand and supply. If demand exceed supply, there isn't enough food to go around, price might increase and importing goods. But, if supply exceed demand, it means surplus of food, price might go down and exporting good.

   In addition, we have learnt about Food Security. Actually, food security is when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life. It includes both physical and economic access to food that meets people's dietary needs as well as their food preferences. There are three pillars of food security which is food available, food access and food use.

   Besides, we also have a debate about food security. My group need to discuss and debate about "There is not enough food in the world to feed everyone adequately". Actually I want to share what are the key point that my group had discussed. But, honestly I am so sleepy right now. Sorry. So I guess I will stop here. That's all for this week. Peace be upon you and thank you!

"Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah."
