What Is Wrong With Eating Bugs?

Yıl 2017, Cilt: 8 Sayı: 1, 96 - 113, 30.04.2017

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has proposed the establishment of insect farms for the objectives of increasing food production around the world and eradicating hunger. The report emphasizes that eating insects—insects are increasing in enormous numbers, have high food conversion, emit less greenhouse gases—is an ethical responsibility against hunger and environmental problems. However, the real issue here is not food shortage, but the unfair distribution of food. Even if the total amount of food produced in the world increased, this problem would not be solved as long as food is not distributed to the regions in starvation. The affluent governments which hold the patented technology used in agriculture, subsidize their farmers, have the power to determine the price of oil and trade food in order to make profit. So, they continue to undermine food production in poor states. More consumption of edible insects will not be a step towards solving the problem of hunger given that food is conceived of as a profitable commodity. Thus, the proposal is not an ethical suggestion.

Böcek Yemenin Nesi Yanlış?

Yıl 2017, Cilt: 8 Sayı: 1, 96 - 113, 30.04.2017

Öz

Birleşmiş Milletler Tarım ve Gıda Örgütü (FAO) dünya genelinde gıdayı arttırma ve açlığı bitirme hedef doğrultusunda böcek çiftlikleri kurulmasını önerdi. Böceklerin, protein açısından zengin, hızlı üreyen, üretimi daha masrafsız ve sera etkisi yaratan gazları daha az üreten besin kaynakları olduğunun altı çizilerek, böcek yenilmesinin açlık ve çevre sorunlarına karşı etik bir sorumluluk olduğu belirtiliyor. Bu öneri açlık sorununun gıda yetersizliği olduğunu ima ediyor gibi görünmektedir, oysa açlığın asıl kaynağı gıdanın adil dağıtılmaması sorunudur. Dünyada üretilen gıda miktarı toplam olarak artsa da, açlık çeken bölgelere ulaşmadığı sürece bu sorun çözülmeyecektir. Tarımda kullanılan teknolojinin patentini elinde bulunduran, kendi tarım üreticilerini sübvanse eden, petrol fiyatlarını belirlemekte gücü olan zengin devletler, yiyeceğin ticaretini de kar elde etmeye yönelik olarak yaptıklarından, yoksul devletlerin yiyecek üretimini baltalamaya devam edeceklerdir. Yenilebilir böceklerin dünya genelinde daha fazla tüketilmesi, yiyecek kar getiren bir meta olarak ele alındığı sürece açlık sorununu çözmeye yönelik bir adım olmayacaktır. Önerinin kendisi sorunun bir anlamda üzerini örttüğünden etik değildir.
