This Section focuses on Food waste, Regulation of agricultural industry (GMOs, pesticides (neonicotinoids/bee die off), and Government's Role in distribution of food and how they (sometimes) create food scarcity. Countries that have better food security commonly have a government that emphasizes agriculture and has economic incentives for agricultural development. An important role that the government plays in the protection of food access is through the policies they implement. Governments have the power to create policies that regulate prices on foods to ensure that goods are being fairly priced. They also have the power to regulate what substances are being used in agricultural production.
