Abstract

The current study is one of the future studies which attempt to evaluate what societies may go through under the influence of global and trade openness; it also evaluates the industrial development and the merger between agriculture and the food industry. The majority aspires to make greater profit through a higher level of production, unaware of the impacts of their greed on consumers' diet and food security, nor the negative impact they have on climate change. The main conclusions are the citizens do not have enough knowledge about what is offered in the markets they make their choices blindly under the urge of practicing their freedom to the fullest. At the same time, due the large number of offers presented to the people they became daily purchasers who are careless about reading the written labels on the products. Consequently, the markets became a place for the liquidation of all products which led to three major issues: the change of the culture of consumption, a high level of consumer purchases, and the misuse of nature in many aspects which has caused climate change.
