Good food is the fundamental need of all people.
For majority of people on planet food is just one of the basic need since the beginning of civilization and they struggle to join hand and mouth each day.For few others,it's source of pleasure and happiness.The demand for food is increasing at an alarming rate with the increasing rate of population by leaps and bounds where More than 800 million people literally they go to bed
hungry every day.Statistics reflects that around one third of the food produced for human consumption goes to waste each day.More than two third of the earth's population is malnourished and die due to hunger related issue one or the other way. During this decade the World is facing a serious food challenge which has led to socio-political instability in more than half of the
planet.Food is the ultimate resource for global socio-political stability.
The price of quality food is beyond the reach of common.The factors like weather,plantdiseases,pest out-break and catastrope result unusual fluctuation in price is due to less
productivity compared to demand and market oriented supply giving shocks to the ones with limited income.Our planet share dry and unpredictable extreme climates,hot spell and cold snap at wrong time,often poor quality soils,challenging landscapes and the right infrastructures.The production by smaller holders with traditional ways in not that enough to shoulder the responsibility.The hungry stomach has led to several crimes in the planet.The rumbling stomach and hunger driven body has no soft corner for the nation.There is struggle among people for food and this intra-specific struggle is strongest one leading towards cannibalism.The energetic pillars of our planet is feebled due to hunger.So food security means creativity and more productivity of nation. We can never think of development with hunger. The hunger can't be eliminated just with the sugar-coated speeches in the global conferences,Symposium and seminars.The policies should be made in global level and implemented upto locals to effectively utilize the barren land throughout the planet and make the most of its fertility with improved techniques. Such techniques should be developed that can grow nutritious food in limited area too.The efficient Farming techniques include vertical farming,drip irrigation,composting etc.Development of agricultural sector is the only giant step to battle looming food security challenge. It's Agriculture that employs majority of the people today so its modification can battle tougher and extreme annual weathers and grow food well adapted for global warming and stress in an affordable way to meet the global demand for food.Currently not enough professional go around.This field is looking for a new crop of new talents and yes that can be we youths.
It's important to note that the world does not need more food. The battle is for better quality food. Modern human innovation can be employed and more youths can be encouraged to enter the field of food security for agricultural technology advancement that can utilize fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides in the limited land for optimum production! It's the fact that the part of malnourished and hungry world is seeking the well trained and innovative agriculturists and agri- scientists! There has to be someone to ensure that world has enough food and we youths of agricultural sector can be that someone. Ensuring that people have enough to eat is food security and thus this can lead to stability in the global level.As a nut shell,
Stability in the global level can be ensured only with full-feds i.e. Food security!!
