The picture shows the Aboubakar family from Breidjing Camp who spent 685 CFA Francs or $1.23 on food for one week, their favorite being a soup with fresh sheep meat. This family belongs to an African country that can produce grain but relies on commerce for food imports. Wealthier nations have an advantage in global trade agreements while underdeveloped countries struggle in the global market. Poverty could be reduced if richer countries imported more from poorer ones to help small farms and economies expand to sustain their people.

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.
