| Global imbalance in production and distribution of food |
Be aware, having covered the previous topic, that there is a global imbalance in the availability of food. Relate this imbalance to economic development levels and to additional factors such as access to guaranteed markets, capital and technology, and government intervention. |
| Trading patterns in food | Describe the main flows of food exports and imports and provide an explanation for them in terms of trading agreements (subsidies, guarantees) and trading barriers (tariffs). A detailed knowledge is not expected, but specific examples to illustrate general statements should be provided. |
| Food aid | Provide a reasoned evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of food aid, including examples and case studies. |
