FOOD CONSUMPTION IN US

If there could be abundant supply of quality food there would be lower level of non-communicable diseases. Promoting healthy diets and manageable lifestyle is the ultimate goal of many US people. The level of noncommunicable disease affecting over half of the population is very alarming. If the people and concerned organization same as government agencies diversify in agriculture, then there would be abundant food stuffs in our home and consequently lower malnutrition problems. Production of high quality and more fundamentally healthier food in abundance is a major problem we face in The United States for a while now. The ever rising growth in population presents intense challenges in feeding them besides poor diet brings malnutrition and consequentially diseases. Technological approach in terms of applied science would boost the Quality food which meets consumer’s expectations and demands. Correspondingly, what makes the food more appealing is the assurance of safety eating in terms of maintained chemical contamination and other prevailing factors. For improved the quality food, agriculture offers the perfect solution. Agriculture has no doubt made the life of many Americans a lot better since food direct from the farm has more chance of quality food.

Secondly, high population of US populace faces the risk of obesity. The food we consume do not carry the necessary nutrients however fetching food stuff from our farm fields would have been much better. The backbone of food production is indeed agriculture and so to the economy, farmers feed us every day and for them to do so they have to be well equipped. They should have access to better agricultural methods, fertilizers, crops and other amenities not forgetting the vitality of soil quality in connection to what is to be planned. For many of us, the food in our houses, school, shops, and restaurants have foremost influences us and thus make quality and healthy eating a challenge. They might be filled with calories and other unnecessary fats which end up ruining our body rather than making us feel virtuous and healthier. This will see us through when it comes to having a better and nutritious meal for all Americans, however, the stakeholders in this sector ought to encourage more Americans to invest in farming by offering some incentives.

Thirdly, factoring technology in the production of food would ensure faster, and plenty food stuffs. Auxiliary investments in technology and structure enable food fortification. Commitment to ensure quality food has to be backed by basic and applied a science which ensures safe food whilst ensuring the demand for food is made. One thing for sure is a better prevention of bad food than trying to fix the aftermath and this involves data collection, thorough research and analysis all aimed for quality food delivery (Espi, 2106). The embracement of technology has seen tremendous efforts towards the achievement, the interested stakeholders ought to make regulations and guidelines to ensure all hazards are taken care. Actually, the set up for science-based implementation alongside the farm-to-table chain has to be a continual process. However, for the realization of such immense intervention our country has to consider vigilance scientifically on development hazards so as to address food quality issue swiftly.

Solidifying controlling systems would safeguard the quality of food in our groceries and farms.

This would also spread to the private operators who are linked with food industry for proper managing food safety hazards (Espi, 2106). In conclusion, making food safety has all to do with better system approach involving interested partners in the sector.
