9. Geographies of Food Eating is an everyday act which connects individuals with agricultural workers, commercial concerns, multinationals, weather patterns, financial markets, transport networks and world trade. It also reflects local cultural geography and changing social trends. Food insecurity threatens these connections, regardless of geographical location. As an aspect of living geography, geographies of food production and consumption allow for enquiries which explore the connections between young people and the wider world, and exemplify the concept of interdependence. There are also links with the growing trend for convenience influencing our actions, and the importance of decisions made by consumers.
