Summary

Our increasing need for food and energy creates competition for land and resources, whereby the growth in production of energy is inhibiting the inability to grow sufficient food for the global population. By not only changing our habits as consumers, and the focus and meaning behind production, but by reassessing our universal interests according to morality, human activity can be redirected from an individualist lifestyle to a communal one, to reinvent societal priorities. By recognising our interconnectedness with the ecosystem, rejecting over-industrialisation of food production, promoting low-carbon communities, and regaining agricultural independence, global food security can be restored.
