Mind Map #4, Billions of people being denied access to food and…

- - - - Women making most significant contributions to food security
        
        producing more than half the world's food
        
        Providing 80% of food needs in food-insecure regions and households
      - The basis for food security for rural communities is through women centered agriculture
        
        "As key players in food production and consumption, women's effective participation in agricultural activities is fundamental to the local food systems" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9767400/
    - - Women's work in agriculture and food has been made invisible, even though it is a foundation of society
        
        An example being the women's Land Army. (Women taking care of victory gardens during WW2, and specializing in duties like forestry). They were an important part of society during the war, but now not many people know about their contribution
        
        To help improve this
        
        We estimate that almost 88,000 additional female farm operators will need to be counted to achieve gender parity by 2026 – 75% of which are already farming but unrecognized as operators, and 25% of which will need to be new entrants.

    - - Now ignored by the dominant economy, but also seen as sources of mega profits for corporations
  - - - Due to the capitalist patriarchy
        
        Patriarchal economics denies production which takes place in nature's economy and in people's sustenance economies
        
        GDP based on false assumption of: if you consume what you produce, then you don't produce
        
        Dismisses women as food providers, since women provide for households and not companies
        
        Is an
    - - Global corporations using masculine science to dismiss diversity in agricultural production
    - - Corporations control over the food system is beginning to undermine the potential of our species to feed itself
        
        Replacing billions of women producers, created global food insecurity
        
        Which led to
- - - - combined with
        
        Elevated waist circumference
        
        Higher risks of Type 2 diabetes
        
        Smoking habits
      - Genome alteration in pregancy and infancy linked to chronic diseases
        
        epigenetics
        
        permanent alteration of structure of genome
        
        Linked to malfunctioning of cells, tissu and organs which are linked to chronic diseases
        
        Due to maternal malnutrition and mothers general health
        
        gestational diabetes, obesity, smoking and drug use and exposure to other contaminants
        
        Unfortunately many communities still don't have access to clean drinking water which would exacerbate the exposure to other contaminants https://www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/lack-of-clean-drinking-water-in-indigenous-communities
        
        These health problems can be faced in all communities however they are more prevalent in indigenous communities tocultural shifts linked to colonization
    - - For hundreds of years the main method to access food was through hunting, gathering and storing food
        
        Shift to a highly sedentary lifestyle
        
        in part linked to access to
      - Store bought or off the land foods
        
        impacts of colonization
        
        Sequestration to reserves and or small comunities
        
        Lack of access to nutritious and fresh foods
        
        More access to
        
        Inacessibility of all foods in nothern communities
        
        economic reasons (extremely high prices for processed foods)
        
        Elora has gone to nunavik (north of quebec inuit territories) and the prices for food specifically highly processed foods like oreos were astronomical (35$/box)
        
        due too
        
        Loss of traditionnal techniques that allow land based foods
