Food crisis - a global issue

The war against hunger is truly mankind’s war of liberation.” John F. Kennedy

Food crisis - a global issue

Food Security is a Global Issue 820 million people in the world are starving.

“When you share your last crust of bread with a beggar, you mustn’t behave as if you were throwing a bone to a dog. You must give humbly, and thank him for allowing you to have a part in his hunger.” Giovanni Guareschi

The number of people living in extreme poverty in the world has reached 1.2 billion with an income of less than two dollars a day.  About 1.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water and about 2.6 billion do not have access to sanitation facilities.  Currently, 820 million people in the world are suffering from hunger.  These problems have risen sharply since the Corona outbreak, especially as food security has become a major issue.  Although the United Nations agreed in 1996 at a global conference.  That food will be kept away from economic, political and defence matters but the whole idea is to eradicate food shortages and spread diseases because the dream of amassing world wealth and ruling the world can be fulfilled in this way.  The Bill Gates Foundation, the Pentagon, the European Union and the United Kingdom all stand in line.  First we describe food security and its importance and finally we try to understand the dangers in this regard.  Man has always made arrangements to protect his food and life. In ancient times, great kingdoms used to store food and distribute it to the courts of kings in case of emergency.  The conference was convened in 1974 by the United Nations after two years of continuous famine in modern Bangladesh, with the aim of taking steps to eradicate hunger from the world.  This was followed by the first World Food Summit in 1996 which focused on ensuring food production, storage and delivery.

When people were hungry, Jesus didn’t say, “Now is that political, or social?” He said, “I feed you.” Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.” Desmond Tutu

Although famine deaths have dropped dramatically worldwide, some 100 million people have died of starvation in the twentieth century.  Between 1870 and 1970, about 928,000 people died of starvation each year, but that number is now only 75,000 per year.  The saddest thing here is that the main cause of hunger in the world is not production and famine but wars.  Hunger is still a major problem in the world in the 21st century, but the fact is that civil war, foreign intervention and border disputes between countries make hunger a problem and millions of people die.  On April 20, 2021, several international private organizations wrote an open letter published in the British newspaper "The Garden" stating that millions of people would die due to lack of food.  Countries that have experienced severe food shortages include Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, North Sudan, Congo, Honduras, Nigeria, Venezuela, Patti, Central African countries, Uganda and Sudan.  Civil war is raging in all these countries and there is no arrangement for growing, supplying and importing food.  Corona could cause 41 million people worldwide to starve. Because food supplies have been disrupted and world food prices have skyrocketed.  Many hoarders and profiteers have made a lot of money.

There are many reasons for food shortages.  Water Supply, Pollution, Land Capacity and Change, Environmental Pollution and Change, Agriculture, Rise in Diseases, Decrease in Food Growth, Political Struggles, Intervention of Global and Domestic Companies Food Waste and Conflict Food Production,  Have become the biggest barrier to supply and use.  Industrial development and deforestation have not only polluted the water but also made the land barren.

I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for the minds and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Due to contaminated water and contaminated ground power, production is reduced and the quality of production is also reduced.  Due to environmental pollution, land and water have become polluted, their quality will be lost. Walls, trees, wildlife, marine and river food and resources have also become polluted. A disease that affects millions of animals and birds  Enough to kill. Every year, more than 15 million chickens and other animals around the world are killed or die of disease.  The hybrid methods used to increase yields in seeds and pesticides have destroyed the original appearance of the crops and destroyed the entire crop due to disease attacks.

Industrial development in the world has focused on agricultural production in addition to food, which includes cotton, tea, oats, rubber, tobacco, coconut, potatoes, fennel and pulses, while the world's most popular black market crop is poppy, coca.  And tobacco.  Black market choice is worth more than 50 billion a year.  Only 30 countries in the world are part of this crop, while the corn production of 142 countries around the world is worth only 32 32 billion while the total production of wheat is not more than 12 billion.

“Recent research shows that many children who do not have enough to eat wind up with diminished capacity to understand and learn. Children don’t have to be starving for this to happen. Even mild under nutrition – the kind most common among poor people in America – can do it.” Carl Sagan

In the 21st century, wars have led to severe food shortages.  Food and water are scarce in areas where wars and civil wars are raging, including Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Congo, Nigeria, and Venezuela.  Hygiene and treatment facilities are non-existent.

Although Bill Gates is the god of computers, his attachment to food and medicine and his investment in it feels amazing.  Bill Gates has invested heavily in food and medicine, leaving the computer behind.  Bill Gates has been away from his company, Microsoft, since 2006 and is increasingly working under his Foundation for Medicine, Population, Disease Outbreaks and Vaccines, which is now available at the UNICEF, WHO and other global organizations.  Control is getting stronger.
