Food & The Environment
Summary
Globalization has an impact on all aspects of our lives from the environment to food. Foods that are produced in one country are a favorite in another country. This has resulted in food like quinoa being a favorite for health fanatics (Yu, 01/22/2019). However, this has led to quinoa not being readily available to the local community as they cannot afford to buy it yet it is their staple grain. Bolivia has a good climate for the growth of the grain and this means that a majority of farmers have planted the grain for export to Western countries making it scarce and pricey for the locals to buy. Globalization has led to food from different cultures and countries to be enjoyed in other countries. Nowadays, we find whole cuisines being available in different countries across the globe and people can enjoy the variety of food found in the world in the comfort of their homes. Immigrants tend to relocate with their traditional food cultures and they introduce them to their new country. Travelers have been known to seek out new flavors, which they will then bring back with them when they return home.
Globalization has had an impact on the environment through climate change. Economic losses in one country have a ripple effect on other countries across the globe. This has affected the environment as well. Due to globalization, there is a need for industries to increase their production and this leads to an increase in carbon emissions that affect across the globe (MaClean, JUNE 11, 2016). What most people do...…be a way for the locals to still enjoy the grain as they export it to other countries.
The impact of globalization on the environment has been noted and while not so shocking it is interesting to note that the actions of one country will have direct effects on other countries. The environment is affected by the mining activities in one country and the carbon emission by another country. This makes me think about how interconnected we truly are to one another. While we are miles apart, we still breathe the same air, and pollution in one country will affect us at some time in the future. With governments and private companies working together to overcome climate change we can rest assured that global warming can be maintained at 1.5 degrees Celsius.
One is a comprehensive means to increase gross domestic product and average real incomes via conscientious tourism and service industry occupations. Eco-tourism is a distinct possibility for a country that is well-known and well-regarded for its unique biodiversity. The presence of animals that can be found no other place on the planet can drive tourism demand for visiting Madagascar. If local communities manage their own tourism interests, rather than

Ironically, only 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for direct human use. Translated into something we can understand readily: one American taking a 5-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in an entire day -- and most Americans take far longer than 5-minute showers. This is a crisis that must be addressed, if it is not, over
21st century underwent many changes. There were political events; civil unrest and terrorism that made countries like the United States take precaution. Although globalization became prevalent within the last decade, economic globalization has taken precedence. The issues surrounding countries and governance as well as the outcomes of such problems have sparked publicized negotiation situations. One in particular will be covered in this essay. An article by John M. Broder explains
Of the top 150 medications that are sold by prescription in the U.S. 118 of these are medications that are either "derived from or modeled on naturally occurring substances."

Globalization and HRM strategies A recurrent buzzword in the modern day business community is represented by globalization, which is understood as a phenomenon by which the boundaries of countries become less strict and they allow people, resources, capitals and the economic, political, cultural, technological and other elements to easily move from one location to the other. In this complex setting, the economic agents have transcended boundaries in order to benefit from
