Comparison of different access to
food
In developing countries, food is likely to be
locally grown, foods are sold in season and
less processed food is eaten.
In developed countries, food often
travels long distances, any food is
available anytime and processed
food is widely sold.
In developing countries, women have
limited employment opportunities & are
often expected to care for children too.

or not in the
timeframe that they’re
used.
• Examples?
What is resource depletion?
• Over time, fewer resources available
• Our rate of use is greater than the rate of
