What is World Food Day?
World Food Day is an
international event celebrated worldwide to honour the date of the founding of
Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO). It was founded by the United Nation
in 1945. The main objective of the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) is to
address the issues of hunger worldwide.
It is observed every year on 16th
October and celebrated by all the national & international organizations
involved in the world food program.
The theme of World Food Day 2020
The theme of world food day
2020 is “grow, nourish, sustain, together.”
This year’s world food day
is even more important as we all are witnessing the undesirable effects of
COVID-19. We have seen the scarcity of food make the livelihood even more
difficult, responsible for malnutrition and lead to death. After seeing such
disaster, we believe, we must have an ample reserve of food stock to tackle
such undesirable incidents. Being a part of society, we have been watching
natural disasters like flood, tsunami, drought, etc. every year and to handle
all such situations, we must have food in stock.
Food is essential for
everyone and it is very important for the society to understand the necessity.
If you belong to the privileged section of the society, your responsibility is
even higher in comparison to poor and vulnerable communities. One area that I
would like to highlight here, we should stop wastage of food and take a pledge
for #zerofoodwastage. If you have more
than required food in your plate due to any reason, kindly share your plate
with the needy ones.
Before wasting food, you
should remember: “The food you waste can satisfy the hunger of a poor person”. It
is also the high time to cherish and recognize our food heroes who ensure the
adherence of complete supply chain starting from farmers till the end
consumers. We should salute them for their endeavour.
How your everyday
actions can make an impact!
From the learnings of
recent times, it is very easy to comprehend, that every human who is the part
of this earth need to play a crucial role. The role is different is for every
individual and you need to play your part.
➤ For example, if you are a
farmer, then your key role is to produce food.
➤ If you are a part of the supply
chain, then you need to ensure the smooth supply chain from producer to
consumer.
➤ If you are the part of the government,
you need to ensure the plenty of food for everyone.
➤ If you are consumer, then
you need to stop wastage of food.
➤ If you are a consumer and
if you have food for every day and also you can afford the feed of one or two
families, then start doing it.
What needs to be
addressed to achieve #ZeroHunger
In recent decades, the
world has made prominent progress and now we are able to produce more food than
required as per the report published by the UN, but our existing food system is
out of balance. The major issues responsible for this imbalance are:
⧭ Hunger
⧭ Obesity,
⧭ Environmental Degradation,
⧭ Loss of agro-biological
diversity,
⧭ Food loss and waste and
⧭ A lack of security for food
chain workers
Time has come to address
all these issues and solve it with the help of technology without impacting the
earth’s natural resources, our health and the climate. Here we believe, digital
technologies could play a key role in the transformation, the way we produce
food, process, transport, and consume.
New technologies like satellite
imaging, remote sensing, mobile & blockchain apps promise revolutionary
change for the farmers producing 80% of the world’s food with the potential to
optimize food chains, increase access to nutritious food, reduce food loss and
waste, improve water management, fight against pests and diseases, and prepare
farmers for disasters such as flood, drought, etc.
