Explain how these cultural or demographic factors could expand beyond that one region and affect the global food supply|My homework helper

Posted: January 30th, 2023

You will be preparing a narrated PowerPoint Presentation and submitting  both the narrated presentation and a written “script” of your  presentation (what you narrated for each slide). The technique for  completing this may have been covered in an earlier course, but if you  have questions, please review the video below, or the script attached to  these assignment instructions.

Your presentation should be 5 narrated slides (Minimum 5  content slides), plus a title page and a final reference page slide. The  final slide should include the sources you used in APA format. A  minimum of three valid academic resources should be cited in APA format  on the reference slide.

Your readings and lessons from the last two weeks have focused on the  different ways that various cultures prepare food that may have an  impact on food safety. For instance, in Japan, fish is often consumed  rare, presenting different food safety issues than if the fish was  consumed after cooking it to a safe temperature. Additionally,  demographics of a region can affect food safety. There are many areas of  the world that do not have access to a safe water supply or have access  to refrigeration in order to safely preserve their raw meats.

The focus of your presentation should be on ONE specific Region/Culture.  The content of your presentation should explain in general how cultural  practices and economic demographics affect the safety of the food  supply for that region/culture. Be sure to use specific examples to  illustrate the points you are making. Explain how these cultural or  demographic factors could expand beyond that one region and affect the  global food supply (think cross border trading, traveling, or food  manufacturing). You may wish to use examples from your own culture to  explain your ideas and conclusions, feel free to include photos of your  own cultural food preparation practices if it enhances your  presentation.

Five elements to include: Cultural practices pertaining to cuisine,  economic situation of the region, infrastructure of the region,  demographics of the region, global implications from food supply in that  region

Be sure to submit both the narrated PowerPoint Presentation along with your script in a word document

SOLUTION

The focus of my presentation will be on the region of Asia and its cultural practices and their impact on food safety.

In Asia, traditional cultural practices such as the use of herbs and spices in cooking, fermenting and pickling, and open-air food markets are still prevalent. However, these practices can increase the risk of food contamination. For example, food stored in unrefrigerated open-air markets can lead to bacterial growth, and traditional fermentation methods may not meet modern food safety standards.

On the economic front, the rapid development and industrialization of the Asian region has led to a growing demand for convenience and processed food, putting pressure on food manufacturers to prioritize speed and cost over food safety.

These cultural and economic factors not only affect food safety in Asia but also have a global impact as the region is a major food producer and exporter. As a result, food produced in Asia is traded and consumed globally, raising concerns about the potential spread of foodborne illness.
