Import dependency & food Security
1-Lebanon imports ~ 5 times the value of its exports. On the total import bill, fuel comes 1st accounting for ~ 21.1% & food comes 2nd accounting for ~ 17.7% (Worldbank, 2018). The country imports 65% to 80% of its food needs. (ESCWA & WFP, 2016)
2-Major Imported #food categories include sugar, vegetable oils, animal products, beverages, fruits & vegetables ... , many of which can be either produced locally or already have local substitutes.
3-Agriculture’s value-added as % of GDP has been regularly falling since 2014. In 2016- 2018, it dropped to 2.9% only. The high dependency on imports coupled with the declining agriculture sector poses a serious threat on 2 dimensions of food insecurity: Availability & stability

1) We are in the process of converting some of our establishments into temporary food markets. Breads, ready to eat foods, meals prepared for multiple people. I have seen a complete shift in the food world (where people get their meals) since opening original Sahm’s in 1986.
2) In the early 90’s in Fishers, there was one Kroger location, 2 Marsh locations, a giant Cub Foods, and Archer’s grocery within a 3 mile radius of 116th and Allisonville. There was a population of about 12,000 people. There were about 15-20 restaurants.
3) Now? There is one Kroger location, one Gordon’s location, and one Costco. There are over 100 restaurants. There are over 60,000 people in that radius. Restaurants went from serving 30% of people’s meals in the early 90’s to well over 70% today.

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men we'll test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live, off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage deep, from the Green Beret

My assignment in Nairobi, Kenya, is done. Na Baby Boying remain. I’m hanging with my Masai brothers at the 117 sqm Nairobi National Park. It’s smaller our the 534 sqm Kainji National Park but is only 10 minutes drive from town. It cost N20k to get in with car & driver. Thread..
The first thing that accosted me was the stunning sunrise over Nairobi. There was a baboon by the roadside but it scampered away before I could take a picture. We proceeded deeper into the park and went off the tarred road.
First thing I saw was a Giraffe. I didn’t know that giraffes have FOUR stomachs. They eat food into the first stomach and then brings it back up into its mouth to chew it again. Beautiful and elegant, their strongest weapon is their kick, which has been known to kill even a lion!
