way they did five years ago. Doolan (2012) highlights that fresh food, inparticular fruit, has been the most effected. She claims that the price of non-perishable items such as flour and sugar have increased by only 5% while theprice of fruit and vegetables have increased by 20% (Doolan 2012, p 4).Thiskind of price rise is what food theorists such as Manhood (2011) call a“perishable price hike”, which is when the price of fresh food like fruit andvegetables increases further than the price of non-perishable items.According to some authors (Leah & Cameron, 2011) the perishable price hikewe are currently experiencing in Australia has to do with what they call the“diminishing farmer population”.This means that as farmers get old and retire,they are not being replaced by younger ones and therefore there are fewerfarmers growing food in the country (Leah & Cameron, 2011). Because there isless food grown, Australia is forced to purchase food grown overseas which ismore expensive and therefore raises the price of food that we see on theshelves.Perishable items such as fruit and vegetables require refrigeratedtransport, unlike sugar and wheat, and the costs associated with refrigeratedtransport are much higher (Leah & Cameron, 2011).Topic sentenceThe evidence that supports the topicsentencesConcluding sentence, see how itlinks to the topics sentence of thenext paragraphThese are paragraphs that definekey terms as stated in theintroduction15
