- - - - disposable income greater purchasing power to consume a larger amount and variety of food
        
        quality of diet increases, eg. organic foods
      - pricing able to handle price fluctuations by opting for less expensive options
    - - food preferences: organic food no artificial inputs aware of perceived health benefits and avoidance of potentially harmful pesticides
      - food preferences: fast food educated on the health implications
    - - stability of food supply
        
        increasing food production
        
        higher crop yield requires financial resources to invest in technology and skilled workforce to facilitate
        
        larger scale by opening new areas for agriculture, but there is limited arable land available for agriculture
        
        increasing food imports by government requires financial resources to cope with fluctuations and diplomacy to ensure a stable supply
        
        civil war and natural disasters disruption to agricultural land, the government needs to divert resources to war/restoration efforts, locals' accessibility to food supply hampered #
      - food safety foodborne diseases caused by improper handling, transportation, or storage, government's responsibility
  - - - lower productivity lower income to individuals and may cost companies insurance costs with compensation claims
      - diversion of financial resources to healthcare reduces the funds remaining for economic development, slowing down economic growth of the country
    - - food wastage both consumers and producers waste food
- - - - disposable income greater purchasing power to consume a larger amount and variety of food
      - pricing affects LDCs more than DCs and may not be able to afford staple foods
        
        LDCs spend a higher percentage of their income on food than DCs
    - - food preferences: fast food globalisation has allowed fast food chains to set up in LDCs which is appealing due to their affordability and convenience
      - food preferences: organic food unaffordable
      - population growth higher birth rates due to lack of education on family planning thus higher demand for food
    - - stability of food supply
        
        despite larger capacity to increase their agricultural land, lower ability due to lack of technology and finances (inaccessibility) to implement technology on a large scale, thus are less able to deal with fluctuations

      - food safety foodborne diseases caused by improper handling, transportation, or storage, government's responsibility
  - - - lower productivity affects individual's incomes and country's economic development when people are absent from work
      - diversion of financial resources increased demand for healthcare services results in limited financial resources being diverted, slowing down the country's economic development
      - loss of educational opportunities for adolescents results in lowered literacy rates #
      - inability to intensify food production farmers may be unable to implement improvements by adopting new technologies eg. GMOs which increases crop yield #
      - long term debt from receiving food aid and financial aid, increasing LDCs dependency on DCs for food aid
    - - social unrest riots may make it too dangerous for people to venture out to find food
    - - scavenging for food in garbage posing health risks #
- - - - DCs have higher disp. income, thus higher availability to food
    - - DCs higher than LDCs
    - - LDCs grains are more affordable and accessible if home-grown
