When Food Becomes a Weapon
shí wù食物shì是měi gè rén每个人shēng huó生活de的jī běn基本xū yào需要 ，dàn但zài在zhàn zhēng战争 、chōng tū冲突huò或bù不gōng píng公平de的shè huì社会zhōng中 ，tā它yě也kě néng可能bèi被yòng lái用来kòng zhì控制bié rén别人 。
Food is a basic need in everyone’s life, but in wars, conflicts, or unfair societies, it can also be used to control others.
yǒu rén有人tōng guò通过xiàn zhì限制liáng shí粮食shēng chǎn生产 、yùn shū运输hé和fēn pèi分配 ，ràng让bù fèn部分rén人wú fǎ无法huò dé获得zú gòu足够de的shí wù食物 。
Some people restrict food production, transportation, and distribution, leaving certain groups unable to get enough food.
jī è饥饿bù zài不再zhǐ shì只是zì rán zāi hài自然灾害dài lái带来de的wèn tí问题 ，ér而huì会chéng wéi成为bī pò逼迫rén men人们fú cóng服从de的shǒu duàn手段 。
Hunger is no longer just a problem caused by natural disasters; it can become a way to force people to obey.
xiǎo nóng小农 、yú mín渔民hé和qí tā其他xiǎo guī mó小规模shí wù食物shēng chǎn zhě生产者yīn cǐ因此shí fēn十分zhòng yào重要 。
Small-scale farmers, fishers, and other small food producers are therefore very important.
tā men他们zhòng zhí种植 、bǔ lāo捕捞bìng并tí gōng提供dāng dì当地shí wù食物 ，yě也nǔ lì努力bǎo hù保护tǔ dì土地 、shuǐ yuán水源hé和zhǒng zi种子 。
They grow, catch, and provide local food, while also working to protect land, water sources, and seeds.
miàn duì面对bù gōng píng不公平de的shí wù食物zhì dù制度 ，tā men他们kě yǐ可以hù xiāng互相hé zuò合作 ，ràng让shè qū社区gèng更wěn dìng稳定dì地huò dé获得jiàn kāng健康shí wù食物 。
When facing unfair food systems, they can cooperate with one another so that communities can have more reliable access to healthy food.
zhī chí支持zhè xiē这些shēng chǎn zhě生产者 ，bù不zhǐ shì只是bāng zhù帮助tā men他们shēng huó生活 ，yě也shì是bǎo hù保护měi gè rén每个人huò dé获得shí wù食物hé和yíng yǎng营养de的jī běn基本quán lì权利 。
Supporting these producers is not only helping them make a living; it is also protecting everyone’s basic right to food and nutrition.
