COVID-19 is impacting everyone around the world, but some of the hardest hit areas are small island developing states. A video shared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations highlights the struggles these small island developing states are facing. We encourage you to watch the linked video and utilize the discussion points to engage with others around the globe!
Small Island Developing States Hit Hard
Discussion Points
- Why are small island developing states being so heavily impacted by COVID-19 and how does this create a domino effect that impacts the food supply system?
- Watch the video twice. One time focus on the text and the other time focusing on the images. What surprises you or do you notice when focusing on the text and then the images?
- Towards the end of the video we are challenged. It's stated that, "Now is the time to transform our food systems and our future."
- Do you agree this is a need and why?
- If you agree, how do we go about transforming our food systems? Does this look different in small island developing states versus your local community (explain your reasoning)?
