NAFTA and Women Introduction Although some would say that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been successful throughout the years, the NAFTA had not only economic effects, but also social effects, such as deteriorating worker conditions, especially for women. There have been numerous studies that indicate the benefits of NAFTA, including the growth of the economies of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. Mexico has specifically experienced rapid growth of its industries and farming sector as a result of NAFTA, even though subsistence farmers have been negatively impacted by increased competition from foreign companies (Horan, 2001). Americans and Canadians, on the other hand, continue to enjoy low prices for various commodities, which would be more expensive in the absence of free trade. This paper seeks to discuss how these gender inequalities manifest, and explores how the inequity can be acted upon to give women the same chances to succeed as their male counterparts. Discussion Despite the adoption of NAFTA, gender inequality continues to be witnessed in terms of employment opportunities available for men and women. New employment opportunities…

Food Loss and Wastage The FAO (2019) defines food loses as the decline in food substances meant for human consumption that occur in the food supply chain. Conversely, FAO (2019) defines food wastage as decline in human food materials at the final stages of the supply chain, i.e. the retail and consumption stages. As such, food loses or wastage does not include loses in food materials that are not produced for human consumption. Food loses are of five types namely, agricultural production, post-harvest, processing, distribution and consumption. This paper seeks to discuss the concept of food wastage from a multi-level perspective. According to FAO (2019) data on per capita food loses, the developed nations experience higher rates of loses than the developed nations. Also, most of the food loses occur production to retail stages in the third world nations while the developed nations experience greater loses at the retail and consumption stages. The disparity in the data is attributed to the economic states of the respective countries. For example, the developed countries have mechanized their agriculture and have improved storage…
