1. Influences on food availability (weeks1-2)
Did you know that you can buy a McDonald’s hamburger in Russia, but not in Iran or Rwanda? Take a minute to think about why this might be the case. For most of us, food availability is fairly simple - you just go to a shop and buy it. However, it is not always that simple. In this chapter, we will look at social, economic and political influences on food availability, and advances in technology that make many foods available, even out of season. We will also look back to a time when food wasn’t always readily available.
Staple foods around the globeThe type and amount of food that people eat depends upon a variety of factors. Where people live is important because food produced in the local area will be more plentiful and cheaper than food transported long distances. Available income to buy food is another major factor affecting what people eat, along with the level of technology available in producing and processing food; government policies concerning local industry and imports; and the strength of the country’s economy.
The diet of most cultural groups is based on a staple food. A staple food is ___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Staple foods supply the major part of a diet. They are cheap, readily available in large quantities and provide the main source of energy in a group’s diet. Most cultures have at least one staple food basic to the diets of many people.

Staple plant foods
Wheat is the staple crop eaten in more countries of the world than any other staple. Growing conditions for wheat vary depending on the variety of wheat, but most varieties prefer cool, wet conditions during the growing season and warm, dry conditions during ripening.
Examples of wheat products:
Rice is the staple food of Asia and, given the high population density within the Asian nations, it is the most commonly eaten staple in the world. It needs a warm climate and large quantities of water in which to grow. Fields are flooded to allow the rice to grow in water, and flat land and a clay-based soil is needed for this process to be really effective.
Examples of rice products and the different countries that consume rice

Throughout Australia's history, each arrival of large groups of people resulted in increased food availability because each group introduced, grew and prepared the familiar foods of their homeland.

their homeland?______________________________________________________

Since 1830 large groups of people have migrated to Australia bringing their staple food preferences and their traditional methods of preparing food. After several generations, the national dishes of various cultures have become part of the overall Australian cuisine. Most people in migrant cultures are not first-generation migrants, but have parents or grandparents who were born overseas.

Developing countries struggle to feed their populations and their life expectancy is lower as a result of undernutrition. Without a nutritious diet the body is unable to
19
function to its full capacity. It is more susceptible to disease and has greater difficulty fighting infections and regaining optimum health. The body’s energy levels are lowered as a result of the continual infections and insufficient food.
Consequently, an individual’s ability to complete physically demanding work such as ploughing and sowing crops is greatly reduced. In the subsistence economies of developing countries, such physical incapacity means that the year’s food supply is greatly reduced. This chain of events is referred to as the poverty cycle.
Draw in the poverty cycle below:
The poverty cycle describes the situation in which a person or a group of people have insufficient money to buy healthy food.
Activity1. List in the table below the cause and effect of poverty in developed and developing countries
Developed Country Developing CountryHigh food yields due to better farm management (water, pesticides)

The influence of the Australian government on food availabilityAustralia is a small but multicultural country. Given our relatively small population, it would be impossible for our food industry to produce the variety of foods on our supermarket shelves and still be economically viable. To cater for the food preferences of our varied population we import products from all over the world. Almost any food you wish to eat can be purchased here in Australia, as long as it complies with our food safety standards.
Protection can be defined _____________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
This means that the government, through a system of tariffs, embargoes andsubsidies, is able to regulate the movement of foreign products onto our supermarket shelves.

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) [WTO] was set up to enforce these trade agreements and replace GATT. By 2000, signatories to the agreement aimed to:
convert all import quotas [quantity or volume of a product allowed into a
country in a specified time] and other trade barriers to tariffs
open markets that have been closed-eg South Korean Beef and Rice
Markets.

For an economy to survive there must be a balance between the amount of goods imported into and exported from the country.
Australia is consistently ranked in the world’s top 20 trading nations.

Previously Australia exported products mainly from primary industry, with wheat, wool and beef sales.
In an ideal world there would be no protection and all trade would be free of tariffs and other protection devices.
