摘要
Food is an increasingly important strategic raw material. Due to climate change and extreme whether conditions in recent years we have been facing a critical shortage in crop production that together with an increased demand for food has resulted in the increased price of food. The need for cost reductions, increased need for food and access to food in stores have also caused important changes in the food production sector. The mitigation and adaptation to climate change is crucial. The local production of food is the appropriate system for implementing sustainability and food security and can reduce the lack of food and insecurity in a crisis situation. In general, the problems of food can not be solved without taking ethics into account. The ethical principles are the most easily introduced in the local production of food.
