As the earth’s population grows to 9 billion people, the amount of resources needed to produce enough food continues to rise. With food production taking over an estimated 50% of the earth’s surface, it’s necessary to question the sustainability of the food production and consumption practices worldwide. What can governments, corporations and farmers do to ensure that earth’s resources will continue to support food production in the future? As climate change impacts the resilience of subsistence farmers, what can be done to increase food security while decreasing environmental impact? It’s important to study environmental issues and food systems holistically as we try to answer these questions. Show more Show less

Hawai'i farmers, teachers, legal and medical experts and community activists share their perspectives on GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), the genetic engineering of crops and the patenting of life forms.

Hawai'i farmers, teachers, legal and medical experts and community activists share their perspectives on GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), the genetic engineering of crops and the patenting of life forms. "Hawai'i has been called the GMO testing capitol of the world because we have had more than 2,000 field tests of experimental genetically-engineered crops in more than 6,000 locations around our small state," says Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff. "And this is more than any other place in the world." Earthjustice has won lawsuits in federal and state courts challenging the introduction of these experimental crops in the islands without first assessing environmental and human health impacts. Islands at Risk looks at possible health impacts from exposure to biopharmaceutical crops, both in humans and endangered species. Family farmers express their concern over the genetic contamination of regular food crops such as papaya, taro, coffee and corn. Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) recount their attempts to prevent the patenting of taro, honored as an ancestor, and assert their right to protect the biodiversity of their lands, crucial to health and survival. The video also addresses the impact of genetic engineering on food security and the world's future ability to feed itself. Produced for Earthjustice. Featuring Paul Achitoff, Walter Ritte, Chris Kobayashi, Dr. Lorrin Pang, Nancy Redfeather, Isaac Moriwake, Melanie Bondera, Mililani Trask, Mark Query, Kalaniua Ritte, Hanohano Naehu, Una Greenaway, Jerry Konanui, Elisha Goodman, Eloise Engman, and Jeri Di Pietro.

Introduction to the US Food System: Public Health, Environment, and Equity is a comprehensive and engaging textbook that offers students an overview of today's U.S. food system, with particular focus on the food system's interrelationships with public health, the environment, equity, and society. Using a classroom-friendly approach, the text covers the core content of the food system and provides evidence-based perspectives reflecting the tremendous breadth of issues and ideas important to understanding today's US food system. This textbook is rich with illustrative examples, case studies, activities, and discussion questions. This textbook is a project of the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF), and builds upon the Center's educational mission to examine the complex interrelationships between diet, food production, environment, and human health to advance an ecological perspective in reducing threats to the health of the public, and to promote policies that protect health, the global environment, and the ability to sustain life for future generations. Issues covered in Introduction to the US Food System include food insecurity, social justice, community and worker health concerns, food marketing, nutrition, resource depletion, and ecological degradation. This textbook also presents concepts on the foundations of the US food system, crop production, food system economics, processing and packaging, consumption and overconsumption, and the environmental impacts of food. Also examined, the political factors that influence food and how it is produced. Ideal for students and professionals in many fields, including public health, nutritional science, nursing, medicine, environment, policy, business, and social science, among others. Introduction to the US Food System presents a broad view of today's US food system in all its complexity and provides opportunities for students to examine the food system's stickiest problems and think critically about solutions.
