Food urgently requires equality - Happy World Food Day!


Today, October 16 is celebrated as world food day. Amidst all the crises, such as Covid pandemic, war, climate change, growing global inflation, and unstable international political situation, let's remind ourselves of the most basic and important survival resource - food that humans can eat. 

Unfortunately, today the entire world is going through a very tough time, even facing threat to global food security. It calls for a new system that is sustainable and enables us to enjoy abundant food, not only for the current generation, but also for all future generations to come.   

It is not only the quantity that matters, but the focus must be on quality as well. Food that is high in nutritional values, offering healthy and better life for all age groups. As we move from being isolated nations to interconnected global family, we must not ignore the needs of less privileged countries.

Let's embrace all and love all. Let there be no hunger in any part of the world. Let there be no child going hungry even for a day. That is the world we must aspire to create. We can do it, if only we have enough will to do it! 

If there is one area which urgently requires equality, it is food for all. All the governments, bureaucrats, global leaders, societies,  academicians, scientists, businesses and even individuals must put their heads together to bring about this global change, that's most urgent. 

The life is already so fragile, let's no make it more fragile! We all are interconnected at some level which we feel intuitively, but do not understand intellectually. One life gone without food is a shame for the whole world. Can we still call ourselves an advanced society? It's time to contemplate!

Let's work together to create a system which is all inclusive, produces sufficient and helps environment - a sustainable society working towards a better world for all!
