The picture is about the Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp.

The food expenditure for one week and


685 CFA Francs or $1.23, their favorite food is a soup with fresh sheep meat. After comparing families in
the What the world eats slide I choose this photo because this is the only picture I saw that a family has
little food in front of them. This family belongs to an African country, Africa can produce a lot of grain,
but they rely on commerce for many things, including food. With more countries growing grain at
extremely low costs, African countries are struggling to keep up and cannot produce enough to be
considered a fair bargain for wealthier countries to trade with. The primary difference between food
systems in the picture to other is that wealthier nations are on the winning side of trade treaties, whilst
underdeveloped countries are battling to finish with a favorable outcome from the global market.
"Poverty might be significantly decreased if richer nations were more open to imports from poorer
countries, rather than closing them out through trade tariffs and other exclusions". It is up to more
successful nations to trade with developing countries in order to expand the global market and help
small farms and economies that need to expand in order to sustain their people.
