The stable government and law-abiding is likely to be more food secured than the unstable government. The political stability and food security are always linked together and food can be often used as a political weapon. In this regard, food can be used as a tool to gain political mileage in a country, for this reason, political instability affects food security both directly and indirectly. (Koizumi, 2014, p. xx) The political instability weakens economic production due to civil conflicts; this will lead to the food insecurity of a nation. The United States for over a period of a long time has been known to provide food aid to the world countries experiencing hunger. American food aid has been used as a weapon to improve its international relations with other nations in the world. The conflict affects the prowess to enable a country to achieve its development goal. The Washington DC is presumably the home of the world largest hunger population. In recent years, between 2015-2016 United States was hit by food security especially the population occupying the Washington DC.
The political instability constricts trade and market zone of a country. The government implementations about food security greatly influence the food production rate of the United States. The united states have begun a program that sees them focus on domestic food production to secure the growing food challenge. The government’s aim to provide struggling families with food aid. (Prosekov, & Ivanova, 2016, p. xx) The Department of Agriculture report shows the prevalence of food security in a different household. The inter-state relation will affect food production, when there is peaceful co-existence in a between different states the probability of food production will be high. The recent interstate unrest that was witnessed recently against the Trumps administration systems was reported to have affected the level of production in some states in the US. The anti-government riots, states demonstrations and civil protest across major States created fear in the market sector leading to low production rate. In Washington Dc, the population of those facing food security rose to 5% which was never seen in the past decade of American history.
The political economy of the most recent two decades stresses the inclination for specialists of the state to limit the task of business sectors. It is subsequently observed as critical to control the capacity of state representatives and leaders to undermine gainful monetary movements and establish food security. As written by the Washington Post in 2015, 23% of D. C’s 179 neighborhoods were considered economically challenged. The Wards 8 and 7 house the largest population of those stricken by the hunger epidemic. The demographic make-up of D.C is an interesting one. Wealth is unequally distributed creating strong racial divides and inequality. You see this with a clear view if you look into both the housing and job markets. (Holben, D. (2003). In addition, there is creation that is decreasing the occurrence of non-showcase workings, as social orders show to be more monetized and collective rights are progressively privatized by the rich and, it is vital to remember the kinds of sustenance privilege that exists while evaluating the idea of nourishment security issues in a general public and the underlying role politics plays (Koizumi, 2014, p. xx). The most defenseless establishments might be basic in deciding survival, especially during an emergency. They can alleviate the impacts of the market on the individuals who have little bought, work control or political power. They can likewise have a significant effect on the way the advantages from the natural order are dispersed. Shockingly, in a number of nation’s new markets and the political powers that that has enabled the good production of food throughout.
In summation, the political goodwill of a nation will directly affect the food suitability of the citizens in that nation. The political instability will directly cause the food insecurity leading to extreme hunger and poverty. (Holben, D. (2003).) In addition, food security mostly covers the three important as an aspect that is the availability, accessibility and the utilization. The developing nations are the ones that are most affected by the food insecurity and depend on aid from more developed nations like the US. The developed nations at times stuck by the food insecurity issues like it happened in the US in the recent. Political instability invokes the development plans that can lead to sustainability of a nation in terms of food.
