Food Crises


 

We are facing a rapid increase in food prices and shortage of food supplies around the world.

This food crises is lead by war in Ukrain and agricultural system failure due to drought and famine in regions of East Africa and Madagascar.

According to GRFC (Global Report on Food Crises) 193 million people are acutely food insecure and in need of urgent assistance across 53 countries/territories. This represents an increase of nearly 40 million people compared to the previous high reached in 2020. This increase can be attributed to a worsening acute food insecurity situation.

Now its high time to understand the importance of moving towards the goal of zero food waste. 

Today 1 July 2022 we celebrate Global Day of Parents. More parents then actually we think are worrying of getting food for there children. So lets take a step towards the goal of zero food waste and start from our home.

Think before you waste!

Zero Food Waste

Few days ago I was watching a show 'Wagle ki Duniya' and come across a new food waste problem. When a question is asked " What do you wanna eat? ".  The answer is one word " Anything " . Many of the family come across this problem. Solution to this problem is Meal Plan . So let's discuss how to make a meal plan.  1. Make a menu - On every Sunday sit with your complete family and decide the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner for next complete week keeping the budget and health in the mind. 2. Check your pantry, refrigerator and  Freezer - Look at the expiry dates of the foods and ingredients you already have on hand. Which ones do you need to use up? Look for recipes that use those foods and ingredients. 3. Plan to use leftovers - Leftovers can be remaked in different ways so find for new recipe for them.  Enjoy Eating!
