GLOBAL FOOD POLICY REPORT Informe de políticas alimentarias mundiales 2023: Repensar las respuestas a las crisis alimentarias Latin America & Caribbean Discussion of IFPRI's 2023 Global Food Policy Report: Rethinking Food Crisis Responses JUN 21, 2023 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT Lo invitamos a unirse a nosotros en el evento de lanzamiento virtual para LAC, donde los oradores arrojarán luz sobre los hallazgos significativos del informe 2023 desde una perspectiva regional. En 2022, el mundo se enfrentó a múltiples crisis. Continuaron las perturbaciones de los sistemas alimentarios debidas a la prolongada pandemia de COVID-19, las grandes catástrofes naturales, los disturbios civiles y la inestabilidad política, así como los crecientes efectos del cambio climático, mientras la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania y la inflación agravaban una crisis mundial de alimentos y fertilizantes. El creciente número de crisis, su impacto cada vez mayor y el aumento del número de personas hambrientas y desplazadas han galvanizado los llamamientos para replantear las respuestas a las crisis alimentarias, creando así una verdadera oportunidad para el cambio. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ We invite you to join us at the virtual launch event for LAC, where speakers will shed light on the significant findings of the 2023 report from a regional perspective. In 2022, the world faced multiple crises. Disruptions to food systems from the protracted COVID-19 pandemic, major natural disasters, civil unrest and political instability, and the growing impacts of climate change continued, as the Russia-Ukraine war and inflation exacerbated a global food and fertilizer crisis. The growing number of crises, their increasing impact, and rising numbers of hungry and displaced people have galvanized calls to rethink responses to food crises, creating a real opportunity for change.

Fancy shoes and cheap prices. Chicken breasts and hormone myths. Food snobbery and the hungry. Healthy food and fat.  Cheap food and sustainability. “It’s really easy for us to look at a product that has a fancy name or claim and assign higher perceived value to it." Dr. Jayson Lusk is a distinguished professor and head of the Agricultural Economics Department at Purdue University. He studies what we eat and why we eat it, and the economics around food decisions. In today’s Food Bullying podcast, he offers insight on how claims, policies, and misperceptions can cost us all. Key points How labels change how we feel about a product and how we are willing to pay more for perceived value. What does an agricultural economist do? Food prices, farm production, international trade, supply and demand. We want to buy more than we can afford: what perceptions and factors explain what is on our plate Large chicken breasts, animal welfare and how prices are affected by regulations put in place. Slow growth or heritage breed chicken grow a lot slower, have negative environmental and cost consequences. The unintended consequence of food choices: how the things we can afford change as our income grows. The people that bear the brunt of food price policies are the lowest income consumers. Shopping with your wallet will help support lower prices for everybody. Consumers say they will do one thing and then shop entirely differently. If you make people make trade-offs you can little closer to the truth in studies with consumer groups. Perceptions around healthy food. FDA regulates the healthy claim, which has a lot to do with fat content. Does healthy or natural really mean what you think it does?  How the brain processes information about food and controversial food issues, such as cloned cows and cage-free eggs. Brain activation can predict what people are likely to choose in buying food. Decision making around food is not just emotional or rational – it’s both. Tips to overcome food bullying: price is a perfectly legitimate guide in shopping for food, pay attention to the sources of information, and don’t fear your food. Fabulous quotes “It’s really easy for us to look at a product that has a fancy name or claim and assign higher perceived value to it. “ “Let information empower and don’t be fearful of your food.” “It’s illegal to use growth hormones in broiler chickens.” “As our incomes grow, we see people eating differently than us. There’s maybe a little bit of snobbery…” “The motivation for some of these new policies are ‘people aren’t eating correctly or right.’ We forget that people have a lower income have an entirely different set of preferences.” “It’s O.K. to use price as a guide to shopping for food.” “By in large, info coming out from FDA, USDA and PhD scientists is more trustworthy.” “There’s a lot of guilt that gets tied up in what we eat.

Rural Health Leadership Radio is having a conversation about rural broadband service and economic development. We’re having that conversation with Dr. Brian Whitacre, professor and extension economist in the Agricultural Economics Department at Oklahoma State University. “I think it’s great to have that kind of a support system and I think there’s a lot of really good people working this area that are going to put a positive impact on rural in general.” ~Brian Whitacre Dr. Whitacre helps rural areas identify what they can do to improve their economic situation, which often revolves around health. Dr. Whitacre works in the general area of rural economic development, while also teaching an undergraduate course on the topic and working with small communities across Oklahoma to help improve their quality of life. “We want our rural facilities to have good broadband access available to them. So talk to local providers, talk to the local healthcare institutions about their connectivity needs and let’s find a way.” ~Brian Whitacre The majority of Dr. Whitacre’s recent work and research has focused on broadband and healthcare connectivity gaps in hospital and private care practices in rural areas. He has also conducted studies on the relationship between housing values and broadband, and continues to explore the significance and uses for broadband in rural healthcare.
