Inequitable Effects of Climate Change on Food Systems and Agricultural Nations
In a course entitled Food & Sustainability, I explored the ways in which the consequences of climate change are inequitably distributed among food systems and agricultural communities. Addressing disproportionate climate-related hardships and the nature of the financialization of food, I argue that the impacts of climate change on agricultural systems act to further disenfranchise underserved populations. I believe this is an important perspective that acknowledges the enmeshment of social justice issues within the nature of climate change, and it is critical that climate strategies duly address inequality. I hope to continue to learn about how to efficiently address these issues, and how to reach comprehensive solutions to environmental challenges in pursuance of socio-economic equality.
