The series Foodalism addresses the disconnect from the origins of the food we consume day-by-day. Global food supply chains are often based on countries far away from the point of consumption. This disconnect often leads to a disregard for the rights and needs of workers, farmers, and environments in the countries of origin, leading to further inequality and dependence. Rather than calling for a boycott of such foods, I advocate for more understanding and appreciation for the labor and resources that go into producing the food that we all rely on.

Bananas are a widely popular fruit that is enjoyed by many. In recent years, the banana industry has been facing a number of different challenges, from the spread of diseases to the effects of climate change. Bananas require a lot of resources to be grown, including land, water, and fertilizer. Growing bananas contributes to deforestation, as large areas of rainforest are cleared to make room for plantations. The industrie’s heavily reliance on monoculture farming, pesticides and chemical fertilisers may also cause water pollution, soil erosion, air pollution, and a decrease in biodiversity.
