*Food as weapon*
🌏 We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, yet 783 million go hungry. Why? Because under capitalism, food is not a human right ,it’s a commodity used for profit and control.
âś… *Hunger Amidst Abundance*
Supermarkets throw away tons of food daily while families struggle to afford a meal. Corporations manipulate prices, hoard supplies, and even destroy food to keep profits high.
âś… *Land Grabs & Displacement*
Smallholder farmers and Indigenous communities are being pushed off their lands to make way for large-scale agribusiness. These lands grow export crops like coffee and palm oil instead of feeding local communities.
âś… *Food Prices & Speculation*
Banks and hedge funds gamble on food prices, making staples like maize and wheat unaffordable for millions. When crises hit, the poor starve while the rich profit.
âś… *Exploitation in the Food Industry*
From plantation workers to supermarket clerks, food workers earn starvation wages while billion-dollar corporations thrive. The same system that “feeds the world” also keeps those who grow our food in poverty.
Food as a Political Weapon
Governments and corporations have used food to punish and control populations—from economic sanctions to food aid programs that destroy local agriculture.
🔥 What’s the solution? 🔥
🔆Food sovereignty: Support farmers and communities fighting for control over their food systems.
🔆Agroecology: Shift away from industrial farming to sustainable, community-led food production.
🔆Resistance: Speak out against corporate greed and policies that treat food as a luxury instead of a right.
The fight against hunger is a fight against capitalism. Let’s reclaim food as a right, not a weapon!
