Dear Readers, please take a moment to let the following number really sink in: almost 2 billion people on this planet suffer from hunger or malnutrition. That amounts to around 30 per cent of the global population.
Food is life. But millions on this planet are starving. How can we save our kind? By producing more? Wasting less? Distributing more fairly? Here’s some food for thought.
Excessive speculation on food futures by investment banks contributes to rising prices – and thereby directly prevents poor people from getting their daily meals. What can we do?
Water is growing scarce, fertile ground is growing scarce, and food is too: the resource catastrophe is well underway. Firms and nations try to secure their share using any means necessary. Their land and water grabs jeopardise the livelihoods of many.
Something needs to change. We all know that. But what might that be? Here are some good ideas: about gardens in the sky, mushrooms in the living room, and fish tanks in your backyard.
How much work and resources does it take to produce one kilo of vegetables? A lot. But so much food is grown just to be wasted down the line. Take responsibility – stop wasting food!
Young people are the most fearless and brave members of society. So many of them long for change, so many have good ideas. Do you know any impressive young people? People who have changed your world with their ideas?
