A GMO is something that has been genetically engineered to have certain traits, like herbicide resistance, pest resistance, and increased nutritional value. In 1994, the first modified tomato, the Flavr Savr, was approved by the FDA and put on the market. It quickly led to the development of other seeds, and by 1999, one hundred million acres were farmed with genetically engineered crops.

People want to know where their food comes from, and as industrial agriculture, GMOs, hormones, and carbon emissions become increasingly concerning, it becomes more important to know the lifecycle of food. Websites like Farmigo offer a place for people to find local harvest from farmers in their region, creating an online farmer's market community, of sorts. Farm to Table is a web service that distributes locally grown produce, grass-fed beef, and cage-free chickens to restaurants, independent grocery stores, and cafeterias.

FAO's Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS) produces this quarterly report."Continuous food aid is required in all East African countries, as well as in the Great Lakes region, in Angola, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone," says the report.

Coffee and tea are excluded because, although they are edible, they lack nutritional value.

Of this 15 per cent, most are distributed between Africa and Asia, although there are also whole populations suffering from food insecurity in countries like Guatemala or Haiti. Half of the children under five who die in the world do so for malnutrition.
