Migrated food
For example pizza:Between 1870 and 1970, over 26 million individuals
departed from Italy as migrants, typically in search of work. The residents of Italy had long been poor, but only in the late nineteenth century did their poverty motivate them to travel such long distances. When Italians sought work, they tended to travel along well- established commercial routes.
conclusion
The world is becoming more and more aware of the pollution.The transport is also getting more expensive, so are the products.
