Global Food Systems and Urban Dynamics
Food Production and Distribution Challenges
Why do farmers in some MEDCs dump food rather than sell it when there are so many hungry people in the world?
Farmers in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) often prefer to dispose of food rather than sell it because the costs associated with transportation and distribution would outweigh potential profits, leading to minimal or no financial gain. This practice, while seemingly counterintuitive given global hunger, is a result of economic inefficiencies and market dynamics where the cost of bringing surplus produce to market exceeds its potential sale value.
