Food security
Food Security has an immense impact on the daily survival of humans globally. As I continue to work with the Basic Needs Center Food Pantry on the UC Berkeley campus, the intricacies of this topic have become more clear - Which is why I have chosen to evaluate "food security". I hope to join this conversation to shed light on more information that may build peoples understanding of the issue.

Food Sovereignty
For the purposes of my research around food security solutions, I chose to focus on food sovereignty - a movement that prioritizes the voices of communities in order to reimagine the food systems that currently organize our dietary lives.

Food security
This article provides an astonishing amount of information about how to measure food insecurity (and its pillars), the specific conditions of certain countries facing this crisis, current disruptions to building food security, as well as an overview of policies that shape availability, access, and prevention. I feel as though there is room for more information about these particular areas:


 * 1) Food security by country - There are a limited amount of countries that have been written about thus far. I believe that with the addition of more countries, this page will have a larger impact. With more information, there is more context for how this issue has been shaped by globalization.
 * 2) Food sovereignty - This section has important information about what the movement is, there are citations missing and could perhaps focus upon a specific movement within "food sovereignty talk".
 * 3) Approaches - There is a huge section about approaches, but what if the approaches section was organized by each country listed on the Wikipedia page. So, for each country examined under the lens of food security, there would be additional information about what each country's approach is.

Overall this article has a well rounded introductory paragraph that gives a general understanding of what the concept is, very well rounded content, a neutral tone (that is seen through explanations of various perspectives), concrete images, and many contributions.

Food Sovereignty
This article builds a brief understanding of what it means to build a food system that is controlled and organized by the people themselves. It maintains a neutral tone, paints a picture of the history of sovereignty, and gives varying points of view that are often found in mainstream media. It sheds light on why this movement has occurred, however could use additional sections to make it a more in depth space to discuss it. It could use more citations in order to maintain consistency however the information provided is clear and concise. There is not much discussion on the talk page, which is both a downside to its legitimacy and an upside for future participation. More people wish to elaborate on racial relations as it relates to the movement. Overall, this wiki page is a good space to begin ones understanding of the issue.
