The Relationship Between Social Structure And Food

In your textbook, Anthropology, the authors write that the way  we get our food is important because “the way a society gets its food strongly predicts other aspects of a culture, from community size and permanence of settlement to type of economy and degree of inequality and type of political system, and even art syles and religous beliefs and practices.

Discuss the various ways that we get food (foraging, horticulture, intensive agriculture, and pastoralism) and how each food getting strategy influence the way people live.

How do you think your life is influenced by the way you get your food?
