Food day | Food Quotes | Reduce Food Waste
How strange is this world? Here so many people die of hunger without eating, on another side, many people die because of diseases related to overeating. Here the poor walk thousands of steps to earn bread for a living, while the rich walk to digest their food. Food is the human need for which he sweats all his life, but even after this hard work, very few people get the freedom to eat the food they like. Others die hoping one day will have enough food.
Food waste:
On one side of the world, there are people who have food more than necessary and they don’t mind wasting and throwing away the remaining food. Food waste is a serious global issue and should not be put aside since hunger is still a rampant problem in many countries. There are also the environmental impacts of food production and its land-use requirements. As well as the extra burden wasted food puts into landfills, ultimately contributing to climate change. When we talk about food waste, we don’t only mean what we, consumers waste, but also what stores don’t sell and then discarded; what restaurants and hotels waste, and what manufacturers and farmers lose along the way. There is also a difference in wastage between industrialized and developing countries. People in rich countries waste an average of 95 – 115 kg of food per person each year, whereas in poorer countries only an average of 8-11 kg per person is wasted yearly.

History of world food day:
The Food and Agriculture Organization was established in 1945 in the United Nations. To commemorate this foundation day, “World Food Day” is celebrated all over the world on 16 October. Many organizations celebrate it as Food Safety Day. The first Food Day was celebrated in 1980. It is now celebrated in more than 150 countries around the world. It aims to raise awareness of the growing poverty, hunger, and food crisis.
World food day Motto:
One of the objectives of World Food Day is not to go hungry. There should be maximum food production in the whole world. Agro-technology and development can be promoted in developing countries so that their poverty can be removed, starvation conditions end. It has been 40 years since celebrating this day, but even today there are thousands of people in the world who are forced to sleep hungry.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was established on 16 October 1945 by the United Nations to create awareness in the world towards food grains and fight a major battle with hunger. It was decided to celebrate the day of 1979 to 16 October as World Food Day.
What are our responsibilities?
This year whole world is suffering from the Coronavirus pandemic, many people lost their jobs, many small and big businesses suffered during the lockdown and still suffering due to Coronavirus. According to the report by Economic times, Global poverty could rise to over one billion people due to the COVID-19 pandemic and more than half of the 395 million additional extreme poor would be located in South Asia, which would be the hardest-hit region in the world.
There is a huge shortage of food not only in India but in many countries of the world. Shortage of food grains and increasing population has created such a terrible situation in the world where millions of people are ready to spill their blood and sweat for two times bread. Despite hard work to fill the sinful stomach, many lives die every day in every corner of the world.
Food waste control:
There is one very popular message by Mr Ratan Tata that went viral on social media about food wastage. I would like to share with you.
“Germany is a highly industrialized country. In such a country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life. When we arrived in Hamburg, my colleagues walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more food for us. When we left, there was still about one-third of un-consumed food on the table. When we were leaving the restaurant, the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were unhappy about us wasting so much food. “We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind,” my colleague told the old ladies. The old ladies were furious. One of them immediately took her handphone out and made a call to someone. After a while, a man in uniform from the Social Security organization arrived. Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine. We all kept quiet.
The officer told us in a stern voice, “ORDER WHAT YOU CAN CONSUME, MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS IN THE WORLD WHO ARE FACING A SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WASTE RESOURCES.”
The mindset of the people of this rich country put all of us to shame. WE REALLY NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. We are from a country that is not very rich in resources. To save face, we order large quantities and also waste food when we give others a treat.”
