MUN Opening Speech
Introduction: I did this assignment at the first semester of grade 10. This assignment was for the 2013 SUIS MUN Conference. The purpose of the speech is to persuade all delegates to vote for my resolution.
Reflection: the hardest task of this assignment is the online research because some of the online information might not be accurate. I think I did well on making this speech persuasive. If I need to do it again, I will confirm my information that I found online with other websites to make sure that they are not wrong. I learned to speak like a delegate, representing my country instead of myself.

Topic: Increasing Food Safety
Country: United States
Although is one of the safest counties in this world, United States also facing with enormous challenges on food safety. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of US estimated that food borne illness caused 48 million cases annually and 3,000 results in deaths.
US government tries to provide safe food for citizens and visitors. However it becomes even more challenging with increasing global trading. In 2012, US imported 112 billion of agriculture products and similar among many other nations. Therefore, food safety is no longer a battle of one nation along but multinational, cooperation cross nations are vital to its success.
Lead by FDA, US government has established effective laws, regulations and standards that governing domestic food safety from production, processing, distribution to preparation. With increased global trading, US government also works actively with its trading partners to harmonize differences on regulations and standards but found be far from enough. Failure of doing so introduce continuous threats to food safety also harm international trading.
United States, therefore believed that it is the responsibility of UN to actively respond to the existing threats of food safety starting from establishment of commonly agreed food safety standards and regulations. With our ability, US government is willing to provide technical and financial assistance to speed up this important project. The success of this project will provide safer food to all nations and will also remove technical trading barriers for food industry, with better food, people could have healthier life which all deserve.
However, harmonized global standards aim only to prevent unsafe foods being sold to consumers and issues caused unsafe foods remain unsolved. For example, a lot of unsafe foods may grow on heavy metal polluted soil, irrigated by chemical polluted water. Therefore, cooperation among nations on environment protection is the ultimate mission of all nations to archive food safety, there is a long journey to go and we must start now.
