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!

Pulses are a good source of   Protein , Folate , Fiber  (both insoluble and soluble), Iron , Phosphorus , Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids  including linoleic and oleic acids . Eating pulses in a balanced diet may prevent us from development of chronic diseases like: Cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.   What amount of pulses we waste annually? India wastes 6.36% to 8.41% of total produce of pulses annually. According to Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nation we waste approx. 500 Million tons of pulses annually. Worldwide, 30% of food is lost or wasted  that averages out to 614 kcal per person pe...

Decomposition of leftover's

It is mostly found that a small quantity of food(like a bowl of rice,2-3 spoons of pulses etc.) is left uneaten. Decomposition of this leftover is a challenge in itself as we shouldn’t throw it in dustbin or in vain as it is called as disrespect of food in our Indian culture. So here is the solution to the problem. We can dig a small pit in our garden or a common pit in our locality to decompose this biodegradable leftover. We can also ask our municipality to take initiative to collect these leftover’s on regular basis and decompose into a large pit and convert it into manure. This manure can be supplied to farmers and can be a way of income generation to government. Now I want to ask you to come forward and take initiative to create awareness in your community and ask government or NGO’S to look into the matter.   NOTE- Having a way decomposition does not mean th...
