1. Why was food insecurity defined as the limited access to food?

What factors that may havelead

to this definition?
Food insecurity is a term used to describe the lack of access to enough nutritious food for an
active and healthy life. It means that people do not have reliable access to affordable, nutritious
food. A significant issue that arises from poverty is the lack of access to essential resources,
such as food. Individuals living in poverty often struggle to afford nutritious meals, leading to
food insecurity and hunger. This lack of food can have detrimental effects on physical health,
cognitive development, and overall well-being. Without the means to purchase food,
individuals and families are left vulnerable to malnutrition and its associated health risks.
Addressing poverty and its impact on access to food is crucial in ensuring the basic needs of
all individuals are met.Another factor could be geographic location - living in areas with limited
grocery stores or fresh produce options can make it difficult for individuals and families to obtain
adequate nutrition.

Additionally, natural disasters such as floods or droughts can also contribute significantly towards
limiting access to food by destroying crops and disrupting supply chains.

Overall, defining food insecurity as limited access helps us understand the challenges faced by
those who struggle with hunger on a daily basis due to various social-economic factors beyond
their control.

2.In the face of global food insecurity, hunger is inevitable. How could the entrepreneur profit from
this dire situation?
This means that many people are hungry and can't find enough food to eat. The text then asks a
question: How could an entrepreneur make money from this situation?

Now, it might seem strange or even wrong to try and make money from other people's suffering.
But some entrepreneurs might see this as an opportunity to create new businesses or products
that help solve the problem of hunger. For example, they could invent new ways of growing crops
more efficiently so that more food can be produced with less land and resources. Or they could
develop new types of foods that are cheap and easy to produce but still provide all the nutrients
that people need.

Of course, it's important for these entrepreneurs not just to focus on making money, but also on
helping those who are hungry. By creating solutions that address global food insecurity, they can
both make a profit and do something good for the world at the same time.

3. Discuss by showing chain of reactions how natural calamities aggravate global food
insecurity such as drought and floods.

Natural calamities, such as floods, droughts, and heavy rains, are significant factors leading
to the destruction of crops. When these disasters strike, the food supply from the crops is
severely impacted, resulting in shortages and food insecurity. The devastating effects of these
natural events can have long-lasting consequences on agricultural production and the
livelihoods of farmers. It is crucial to implement proper disaster management strategies and
invest in resilient farming practices to mitigate the impact of these calamities on crop yields
and food security.
Both droughts and floods can lead to lower crop yields and higher prices for consumers around the
world. This exacerbates global food insecurity because people who were already struggling to
afford basic necessities like food will find it even more challenging during these times of scarcity.

Overall, natural calamities impact agriculture in many ways - from reducing crop production due to
lack of water during droughts or damaging existing crops with floods - causing widespread
consequences on global food security that affect us all in one way or another.

4. Importation of rice by the Philippines is a key indicator of looming food insecurity which results
from inadequate production. One of the reasons cited for this government decision is political. Do
you agree? Support your answer
the Philippines importing rice is a sign that there may not be enough food being produced in the
country, which could lead to food insecurity. Food insecurity means that people don't have enough
access to food and can go hungry.
One reason given for why this is happening is because of politics. Politics refers to decisions made
by the government or other groups in power that affect how things are done in a country.

So, the question being asked is whether or not you agree with this idea that politics is one of the
reasons why the Philippines has to import rice. To answer this question, you would need more
information about what political factors might be involved and how they're affecting rice production
in the country.

For example, maybe there are laws or regulations that make it hard for farmers to grow enough
rice, or maybe there's corruption within the government that's preventing resources from getting to
where they're needed most. Without knowing more details like these, it's hard to say for sure if
politics really are playing a role here.

Overall though, it's clear from this text that there are concerns about food security in the
Philippines and some people think political factors might be part of why this problem exists.

5.For this section of your discussion, let’s split global food insecurity into two (2) main factors: (1)
the unavailability of food and the (2) inability to access food. Give your understanding onthese
concepts
The text is discussing global food insecurity, which means that there are people around the world
who do not have enough access to food. The text then splits this issue into two main factors: (1)
the unavailability of food and (2) the inability to access food.

The first factor, unavailability of food, means that there simply isn't enough food in certain areas for
people to eat. This can happen due to a variety of reasons such as natural disasters like droughts
or floods, or because of economic issues like poverty or conflict.

The second factor, inability to access food, means that even if there is enough food available in an
area, some people may still not be able to get it. This could be due to physical barriers like lack of
transportation or infrastructure, financial barriers where they cannot afford it despite its availability
nearby them.

It's important for us all to understand these concepts so we can work towards finding solutions for
global hunger and make sure everyone has access to nutritious meals.

6.On international governments’ approach to mitigating global food insecurity, what our country
has not done that these countries have done? Share your thoughts on what our government
should have done and should be doing.

how different countries are working to solve the problem of global food insecurity, and what our
own country could be doing better. Food insecurity means that people don't have enough access
to food, which can lead to hunger and malnutrition.

The text is asking us to think about what other countries are doing that our government isn't doing.
This might include things like investing in agriculture, providing aid to countries experiencing food
shortages, or implementing policies that make it easier for people to access healthy food.

The text also asks us to share our thoughts on what our government should be doing. Some
possible ideas might include increasing funding for programs that provide food assistance,
supporting local farmers so they can produce more nutritious foods, or working with other countries
to address global issues related to food production and distribution.

Overall, this text is encouraging us to think critically about how we can work together as a global
community to ensure everyone has access to the basic human right of adequate nutrition.

7. Philiipines is currently facing a combined debt of close to P15 trillion which means all Filiinos,
including those who are yet to be born, are to take part in settling this debt off. Howthis situation
would affect our need for food security? What approach can you offer?
The Philippines currently owes a lot of money, which is called debt. The amount of this debt is
almost 15 trillion pesos! This means that every person in the Philippines, even babies who haven't
been born yet, will have to help pay off this debt someday.

But how does this affect our ability to make sure we have enough food? Well, if the government
has to spend a lot of money paying off the debt, they might not be able to spend as much on things
like making sure everyone has enough food. This could mean that some people might not have
access to enough food or that prices for food could go up.

To deal with this situation and still make sure everyone has enough food, we need to come up with
new approaches. For example, we could focus on growing more local crops instead of relying on
imports. We could also work on reducing waste so that we don't throw away as much good food.
By being creative and resourceful, we can find ways to ensure our country's food security despite
having a large national debt.

8.Our province is an island which means we have so much to do to become self-sufficient infood
that we normally need. As “would be entrepreneurs” how can you take part in ensuringfood
availability and accessibility?

The given text is talking about a province that is an island, which means it has limited access to
food and needs to work on becoming self-sufficient in producing the food they need. The text then
asks how aspiring entrepreneurs can contribute to making sure there is enough accessible food for
everyone.

So basically, this province relies heavily on importing food from other places because they do not
have enough resources to produce all the food they need. But being an entrepreneur means you
can come up with innovative ideas and solutions to help increase local production of food or
improve accessibility of existing sources. This could include starting your own farm or agricultural
business, creating new technologies for farming or storage, or even developing better
transportation methods so that people in remote areas can have easier access to fresh produce.

By taking action as entrepreneurs, these individuals can help address the issue of limited access
to nutritious foods in their community and make a positive impact on the overall health and well-
being of those around them.

9.Aside from rice farming, there is one business model that increases value of agriculture produce.
To make it a large scale in terms of production the model of manufacturing shouldbe adopted.
What can you advice to an aspirong entrepreneur for him to seize this opportunity

The text is talking about a way to make more money from agriculture products besides just
growing and selling rice. The idea is to use a manufacturing model, which means taking the raw
materials (like fruits or vegetables) and turning them into something else that can be sold for more
money.
If someone wants to start a business using this model, they should think about what kind of
agriculture products are available in their area and what kinds of things they could make with them.
They should also consider how much it would cost to set up a manufacturing operation and how
much they could sell their finished products for.

Overall, this approach can be very profitable if done correctly, but it requires careful planning and
investment upfront.

10. Discuss what are thoughts on our own rice industry and how does this should ensure
foodsecurity. What are its strenghts and opportunities that can address the growing food
inaccessibility and scarcity in the country?
Rice is an important crop in many countries, including this one. It provides a staple source of
nutrition for millions of people. Therefore, ensuring its availability is crucial to maintaining food
security.

To do this, we need to look at both the strengths and weaknesses of our rice industry. Some
potential strengths could be good soil quality or access to modern technology that helps increase
yields. Opportunities could include investing in research and development or expanding exports to
other countries.

If we focus on these areas, we may be able to improve our rice production capacity which will
ultimately lead us towards achieving better food security outcomes across the country.

In summary, addressing issues related to food insecurity requires a multifaceted approach that
involves examining various aspects of our agriculture sector such as investment into new
technologies or exploring new markets for exportation purposes while also taking into account
factors like climate change impacts on crops so as not only relying solely upon domestic
production but also diversifying sources from outside regions if necessary.
