Sujet du devoir

Bonjour, pouvez vous m'aider à trouver une problématique et un plan pour faire ma synthèse d'anglais pour le bac, la notion est espaces et échanges. S'il vous plait.

Document 1: Video « Dubai hungry for processed food » : Development of new markets for processed food, while the demand decreases in Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGk9f-BnAKk


Document 2:Video « Family says no to processed food » : Interview with an American family who banned all processed food for three months. https://youtu.be/MDOdfEncvpE


Document 3: « What are locavores ? » Maria Trimarchi, recipes.howstuffworks.com 

Wo­uld you give up your morning coffee or even treats like chocolate if doing so helped the environment and the local economy? A growing number of people are willing to make such culinary sacrifices for the sake of their environmental and economic principles. They call themselves locavores or localvores and they limit their food supply to what is grown and produced within a restricted radius.­

You'll notice that the word locavore sounds similar to carnivore or herbivore. Just as carnivores eat meat and herbivores eat plants, locavores only eat foods that have been grown locally.

The locavore ­movement challenges people to buy food grown within a strict radius of where they live -- be it 50 miles, 100 miles, 150 miles (80, 160, or 241 kilometers) or within a state's border. Some homesteaders even jokingly call themselves "yokelvores" because they only eat food that comes from their own backyards. But before you pull out your compass to determine your radius, it's best to know that not all locavores are so rigorous with their definition of what's local.

The idea of committing to eating only locally produced foods has become trendy in the last few years -- so trendy in fact that the word "locavore" was chosen as the 2007 Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary [source: Oxford University Press].

­But why has eating locally become so popular? Does a locavore diet really help the environment and support the economy? In this article, we'll explore the history of the locavore movement, learn why people become locavores and find out how to eat like a local.

The easiest way to define a foodshed is to compare it to a watershed. While watersheds outline the flow of water to a specific area, foodsheds outline how food flows to a specific area. Because today's foodshed spans the globe, our food can travel thousands of miles before we eat it.

The Californians' local challenge introduced the ideas of eating within a small foodshed and supporting sustainable agriculture to a wider audience. Sustainable agriculture encourages using renewable resources to increase farming profitability and improve environmental and socioeconomic health. It's a key aspect of the local food movement.

However, the locavore movement didn't really begin to gain attention until James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith began blogging about their year-long adventure eating foods grown and produced within 100 miles (160 kilometers) of their home in Vancouver. The pair's experience ultimately culminated in a book, "Plenty: One Man, One Woman and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally."

While it's difficult to get a sense of how many people across the country are trying to become locavores, the idea is gaining mainstream attention. Schools are even beginning to get in on the action. In 2002, 400 school districts in 22 states provided students with locally grown food in their cafeterias. By 2007, more than 1,000 districts in 35 states were participating [source: Burros].

In the next section we'll explore what locavores eat and find out if there are any pros and cons to eating locally.

Although some locavores may choose a vegetarian or vegan diet, most have no dietary­ restricti­ons beyond those imposed by their location. Generally, locavores forgo mainstays like coffee, chocolate, bananas and olive oil that come from warm climates and travel long distances to market. They also give up other staples like salt and spices, wheat and beer (if there are no local sources of barley and hops) depending on whether such items grow in their part of the country.

But not all locavores follow the rules in the same way. There are three general types of locavores: ultrastrict, Marco Polo rule, and wild card.

Ultrastrict locavores avoid all ingredients that have not been grown and produced locally. Marco Polo rule followers incorporate dried spices into their diet -- items sailors could carry along while at sea -- but keep all other ingredients local. Wild card locavores are less restrictive. They bend their foodshed to include coffee, sugar, chocolate or any ingredients they feel they just can't live without [source: Tep]. The wild card locavore diet is the movement's most accessible. Some locavores rationalize their coffee fix by purchasing only beans that have been certified fair trade.

­­In the next section, we'll discuss reasons for becoming a locavore, find out where locavores shop and learn if they have any secrets to finding tasty tomatoes during the winter months.

There are man­y reasons to try a local food diet. Some people become locavores because they want to support their local farmers and economy. Others want to reduce the size of their carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment. People also become locavores for health reasons or simply because they believe that local foods taste better. Many locavores find that their diet helps them learn new things about the food they eat and the community where they live.

Since there is no clear-cut definition of what's local and what's not, many locavores use a 100-mile (160-kilometer) radius as their guide. Supermarket pro­duce purchased by people in the United States travels, on average, 1,300 to 2,000 miles (2,092 to 3,218 kilometers) from the farm to the store. This travel time is called food miles. Food grown and purchased locally accumulates fewer food miles. Produce that is considered local is usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested.

Depending on where you live, there are many options for buying local food. Locavores shop at farmers' markets, roadside and farm stands, winter markets, food cooperatives (or co-ops), community supported agricultural groups (CSAs) and sometimes at supermarkets, just like the rest of us. Some local food movement followers even maintain their own gardens.

Farmers' markets are one of the most important shopping venues in the local food movement. Farmers sell their meats and poultry, dairy, eggs, produce and other items to local consumers. Shoppers also have the opportunity to talk to the farmer who grew and produced the food being sold and ask questions about pesticide use and farming methods. The United States has more than 4,000 markets and a 2006 U.S. Department of Agriculture survey found sales at farmers' markets increased from $888 million in 2000 to $1 billion in 2005

Food co-ops are more like traditional grocery stores than farmers' markets. However, unlike most traditional grocery stores, co-ops help support local farmers and producers and the local economy. In the United States, about 30 percent of farmers' products are sold through local co-ops.

Community supported agricultural groups allow locavores to forge relationships with local farmers. Interested parties invest in community farms and, in return, receive weekly baskets of vegetables and other farm products. Some CSAs also ask that members work a few hours a week on the farms during the spring through fall. To find CSA farms near you, look through the listings at Local Harvest.

But not all mainstay fruits and vegetables are in season year-round. To supplement fresh seasonal offerings, many locavores try their hand at freezing, preserving, canning and drying fresh produce during the growing season.

Où j'en suis dans mon devoir

Je n'arrive pas a commencer ma synthèse car je n'ai pas de problématique et de plan.

D'un côté tu as les sociétés des pays émergents qui se développent et qui aspirent à consommer comme les pays développés d'où ce que tu dois voir dans ton premier document

puis d'un autre côté tu as les sociétés des pays développés qui font face à une prise de conscience écologique et dans lesquelles une part de plus en plus grande de la population cherche à consommer autrement d'où tes deux autres documents

Bon courage

Est-ce que vous pouvez me dire si c'est bon? 

I:Many ingredients come from different countries, such as the corn is from Italy, the cheese from Australia, the machines come from  Asia but the crisps are being made right here in Dubai. This implies globalization, including world trade. In recent years, sales of processed food have a rise of 12% and sales of fresh food are growing much more slowly (+ 2%) so there is a bigger demand for processed foods than fresh foods .In the last two years in Dubai, it has happened that the number of companies that represent food processing and packaging business in Dubai has more than tripled. 

The Demand for processed food in Europe and the USA is decreasing. International businesses want to expand their market over the Middle East, they say that Being in Dubai and the Gulf is a good way of expanding in the Middle East. Coca is one of the biggest drink business in the Middle East. They have agreed to invest $ 1 billion (nearly  half of the biggest saudi-based drink industry)

The reasons mentioned for big companies investing there are the growth of the population (more and more people = more and more customers) and processed foods = added value (the difference between what it costs to make and item and the price you sell it). Processed foods sold by DelMonte are for example Packaged Juices, Fruits and Vegetables, Fresh or Frozen or Canned. People buy DelMonte products because they consider them better than other products. The associate these products with the Western lifestyle (American, European). The new markets are Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Irak, they are emerging markets, they have emerged thanks to of political shake-ups over recent years.
