Everyone must eat to survive!
Today, 16th October
is #WorldFoodDay! It’s a day to address global food issues. My thoughts are on the
food issues in our own community and the reason I think the World Food Day Campaign should be
everyone’s concern.
The 2016 global message
for the #WorldFoodDay is “Climate is changing,
Food and Agriculture must too”.
Why should this issue of
food security be everyone’s worry?
Climate change is putting agriculture
and food production generally at risk. If we do not take action now, very soon
there may not be enough food to go round, more so that the world population is
growing increasingly and is expected to be up to 9.6 billion by the year 2050.
Food wastage is very
rampant; from the point of production, harvesting food crops, storage, transportation
and even when it finally gets to our homes. We have to avoid throwing food
away, do your bit by reducing wastage of food in your household.
The world food day is a
time to take action against hunger and poverty and to remember that hunger is
real. Hunger knows no friend, it can happen to anyone. There are many people in
Nigeria and all over the world that cannot get to eat once in a day talk less
of eating three square meals. America is one of the richest countries in the
world, nevertheless some Americans do not have enough food to eat.
It’s a day to pledge that
you will do everything in your capacity to put an end to hunger in our life
time starting from your own household. You do not have to be a seasoned farmer
to learn how to grow your own vegetables to sustain your family.
It’s a day to bring your
family and friend’s attention to farming, food and hunger. The price of food
items is increasing on a daily basis in our community. How much is a bag of
rice again?
It’s #WorldFoodDay. Take
Action Against Hunger!
Share your thoughts on
what action you are taking to end hunger in our lifetime.
Yours truly,
