  3. with Mr Bullock
  4. at Oakland Community College.
  5. Many of you guys have not seen me or heard me unfortunately,
  6. but my name is Mariana paramo and this is my presentation.
  7. COVID-19. A new virus that has changed the world since 2020 as we have experienced.
  8. But COVID-19 can affect the food industry in multiple
  9. ways and without the supply and demand of food from
  10. those industries in the United States would have a
  11. difficult time overcoming these challenges to provide food products.
  12. Also, the understanding of it is important because Eco terrorism is a lethal
  13. and poses a threat to everyone who consumes it and has
  14. a dangerously close chance to harm the closer ones around us.
  15. I want to dive a little further into it.
  16. Starting off with agritourism also known as agriculture
  17. terrorism.
  18. Agritourism threats and preparedness.
  19. Agritourism is a large group with the intentions of
  20. causing terror to society by animal and plant diseases,
  21. meaning this could have a huge economic downfall if it were ever
  22. to get damaged that bad by the plants and the animals.
  23. But killing animals implants is not the objective,
  24. but they use bio weapons to harm the plants and the animals with diseases.
  25. But numerous types of diseases can be dealt with
  26. from farmers in government because they have experience in these categories,
  27. they would know how to handle this type of situation
  28. but in recent years have shown in
  29. the agricultural world and increase in protection,
  30. Preferably to be exact in about five years.
  31. Agri terrorism in the US
  32. in this country.
  33. Agriculture is a very important
  34. category.
  35. It has been for the past centuries, but for example,
  36. agriculture provides countless jobs.
  37. 13% of GDP and 15% unemployment estimated to be around two million jobs and workers,
  38. but with all that,
  39. the food industry around the country,
  40. They produce around $50 billion dollars
  41. worth of processed foods to numerous communities
  42. for them to eat.
  43. Now,
  44. I want to take a closer look at what COVID-19 and how can it affect the food industry
  45. impact
  46. of COVID-19 and the food supply chain
  47. As we have either noticed or experienced from
  48. getting COVID-19 myself have never gotten COVID-19,
  49. but COVID-19 can spread very rapidly and very quickly.
  50. COVID-19 has already affected so many jobs
  51. Within the past two years,
  52. including food industries being permanently shut down.
  53. But we should take a closer look at the staff workers that are employed
  54. take extra steps into their safety and our safety too
  55. by daily health checks
  56. and make sure the food is not contaminated.
  57. But with all that,
  58. Covid still has a chance to affect the food industry.
  59. Michael Pollan,
  60. the author
  61. of the book called the Omnivore dilemma,
  62. Michael Pollan speculated that what should I eat could no
  63. longer be answered without first addressing two more straightforward questions.
  64. What am I eating and where in the world did it come from?
  65. When he says, where in the world did it come from?
  66. We actually have no idea
  67. where actually comes from.
  68. I mean that we don't know if it's been contaminated
  69. if it's safe to eat.
  70. We have actually have no clue
  71. to check if those have been contaminated.
  72. He also said
  73. when I started trying
  74. to follow the industrial food chain,
  75. the one that now feeds most of us
  76. most of the time and typically accumulate
  77. the supermarket.
  78. Michael Pollan has written about his experience on how he has
  79. put himself into the agricultural world and he has written many
  80. books.
  81. I recommend reading those books
  82. to conclude
  83. understanding of Agra terrorism is relevant to all as majority
  84. of the United States crops and foods are from farms
  85. and they are processed to the stores by people where
  86. we have no idea of what their illness background is.
  87. It's crucial to make sure that the food chain
  88. is safe and healthy for the people to eat.
  89. The processed foods with its cost is in effect
  90. like covid 19
  91. Mhm.
  92. As you can see this is a very important topic.
  93. Not many people know or have ever even heard of Agro terrorism,
  94. but it's crucial to at least understand how it works
  95. and what it could affect because it could even affect us
  96. or the people around us.
  97. Okay,
  98. thank you for listening to my presentation about agricultural protection.
  99. I hope you have learned and enjoyed it.
