[Free report] We change how we eat, what we eat !!

by Sachin Regmi | 11-02-2020 21:53


The current global situation in terms of population growth and food availability is not comfortable. With the progressively increasing global population, global hunger and chronic malnutrition are above baseline. These conditions like poverty, hunger and malnutrition cannot be improved by the conventional approach alone. We need a new paradigm of inclusive agriculture, green growth and effective use of available global resources. Fostering green growth with multisectoral collaboration will help to be a part of a solution to this widespread problem. Strategies like promoting agriculture mechanization, integrating crops and livestock, applying integrated pest management, planting cover crops are methods for improved agricultural practices. Mitigating high labor demand, adopting and supporting a sustainable production system can be used to combat poverty and the food crisis. The same can empower the critically vulnerable population in terms of improved food supply, reduced food price and poverty. To properly address global hunger and cope with increasing food demand the future is bringing, we need agriculture innovation and technology adaptation. Racing with rapidly shifting consumer demand and preferences, food security, food safety, competitive advantage on agricultural trade and industrialization needs a remarkable increase in farm productivity and output per farm labor. Innovation can enable a critical shift in the productivity and sustainability of our farm. Additionally, we need to focus on exploring new edible species, refining existing foodstuffs, considering our food safety, reducing wastage during handling and processing. In summary, feeding the population in the 21st century will not be an easy choice but with agricultural innovation and transformation it is not impossible either.
