In developed countries, many resources used (items purchased) are imported
from other parts of the world.
Comparison of different access to food
In developing countries, food is likely to be locally grown, foods are sold in season and
less processed food is eaten.
In developed countries, food often travels long distances, any food is available anytime and processed
food is widely sold.
