Excited to share our comment in @NatureFoodJnl doi.org/10.1038/s43016… (free to read 👉 rdcu.be/caBrA) Here we discuss the environmental costs of discarding food before entering the market in water-limited #drylands Want to know +? Keep reading👇1/12 #ZeroHunger #SDG2
1/3 of the food produced globally is not consumed, of which approximately 14% corresponds to post-harvest loss fao.org/3/ca6030en/ca6… In most high-income countries, the primary reason for this is to control prices
This discarded food is often produced unsustainably, contributing to the depletion of resources such as water & fertilizers and to #climatechange by emitting CO2 Despite this, the EU subsidies this practice to compensate farmers for losses associated with price fluctuations

1⃣Dünyada her yıl 4-5 milyar ton gıda üretiliyor.
Bu miktar aslında 10 milyar nüfusa yeterli.
Ancak 7,5 milyar nüfuslu dünyamızda her 9 kişiden biri açlıkla boğuşuyor.
Başlıca neden ise çöpe giden MİLYARLARCA TON gıda.

2⃣ BM verilerine göre günümüzde 815 milyondan fazla kişi açlıkla boğuşuyor.
2050 yılında da bu sayıya 2 MİLYAR İNSANIN daha katılması bekleniyor.
Üstelik pandemi ve iklim değişikliği gibi küresel sorunların bu sayıyı artırma endişesi hala güncelliğini koruyor.

"In the name of economic growth, we've sacrificed #ecosystems, and we've exhausted the women and men in the economy, by subjecting them to huge pressure from the #globalisation of competition and the deregulation of labour markets." - IPES-Food's Olivier De Schutter @DeSchutterO
"We must think of a different kind of #development: one that does not see economic growth as a precondition for everything else," IPES-Food co-chair @DeSchutterO tells @thinink.

Origin of problems. Many farmers are reluctant when it come to pest and diseases management and you'll always find a seedling when being transplanted has thrips and some fungus already like downy mildew ...this is multiplication of fungus if transplanted in that state

40% of that fertilizer is usually lost to the environment.For "young onions" it is always advisable to cover the fertilizer with the soil. rem onions have shallow roots...but when they are at vegetative stage you can expose the fertilizer because of canopy formed

1. When you have little money to invest in agriculture, ask yourself - do you want to be involved in the business or want to invest in other people's venture.
Ans. I will focus on those who want to be involved

This #WorldFoodDay, let us renew our commitment to meeting the challenge of food insecurity head on. If we want to achieve #ZeroHunger we need to make healthy and sustainable diets affordable & accessible to everyone.
We have an obligation to support vulnerable children in accessing nutritious meals. That’s why last month I reintroduced the Access to Healthy Foods for Young Children Act to improve the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

There is still the issue of desertification, this today is our major issue in Nigeria and must be tackled quickly. The herdsmen can be at the forefront of this battle, the herds (animals) are the weapon.

Our planet has provided us with tremendous resources, but unequal access and inefficient handling leaves millions of people malnourished. It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. #foodsecurity #zerohunger
