Paper

Food conditions allude to the physical, financial, political, and sociocultural settings in which
buyers draw in with the food framework to come to their conclusions about securing, planning, and
devouring food. Food environments have an impact on food supply chains and their functions, as well
as the selection and quality of individual diets through a variety of factors. They are the connecting
link between supply systems and demand systems. They decide what kinds of food are available at a
given time, how easy it is for consumers to get these foods, how much they cost, how to promote,
advertise, and provide information about food, and how safe and healthy food is.

Food justice refers to the broad idea that everyone has the capacity and opportunity to
cultivate and consume nutritious, inexpensive, and culturally relevant foods. All members of a
community can cultivate, procure, barter, trade, sell, dispose of, and comprehend food sources in an
equitable food system that prioritizes culture, equitable access to land, fair and equitable pricing and
wages, human health, and ecological sustainability. Food equality necessitates democratic
management of food systems and community stakeholders determining the policies that impact their
food system.

The same circumstances apply to indigenous peoples and other minority groups; many of
them have lost access to their property and land as well as their rights to it. Indigenous groups
frequently cultivate food by integrating livestock, water, and forest management into sustainable
agricultural strategies. To do so, they require resources and the capacity to maintain them. Perceiving
property and land freedoms are in this way basic strides towards more evenhanded food frameworks.
For consumers to be able to purchase and consume healthy foods that are available in the food
environment, these foods need to be affordable. Agriculture needs to be able to offer jobs that are
skilled, meaningful, and environmentally friendly, and then it needs to be able to make economic
investments that will make it profitable for young people to participate in agriculture. Nutrient-dense
foods like fruits and vegetables from animals are out of reach for the poorest and most disadvantaged
people. In addition, farmer participation in agricultural policymaking should be taken into account
alongside the food industry and its profit-oriented assumptions. Nutrition, welfare food security, and
purchasing power of households are all affected by price volatility.

This process influences every component of the food system, resulting in a consistent
outcome that varies from availability and cost to an abundance of high-nutritional-quality food and
access to healthful meals. As a result, this deserves a special focus on preventing malnutrition and
giving every woman a major role in increasing agricultural sector performance, eradicating hunger,
and providing equal access to resources for the first 1000 days to reduce the number of
undernourished million people.
