Food is one of the most important thing in our lives. Our energy come from the food. If we don't eat any food, we won't have our powers and die. Basically, we eat food 3 times in a day, but sometimes poor people can't eat more than once in a day. In my country, Indonesia, I always see that there are many children at the streets and sing some songs, play the guitar, and many thing. The reason that they are there is they want some money to eat food. With 237 million inhabitants, Indonesia is…

Food security is very important in our live because we need food to live and do things. I eat 3 or 4 times a day with no problem, but poor people can't eat even once if they are unlucky. I live in indonesia and in this country there are lot of problem in food security. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, so it's in a bad situation now.

Food security, "When all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to aintain a healthy and active life".

Food security is built on three principles. First, food availability, where sufficient quantities of food available on a consisten basis. Second, food access, having sufficient resources to obtain appropriate foods for a nutritious diet. Last, food use, appropriate use based on knowledge…

Food security, the most important thing in our life, because we need to eat to get energy and work. We eat at least three times a day, but some of the people in the world can't even eat once a day. For example, just the country where I live, Indonesia, most of the poor people have problem with food security. There are a lot of people in Indonesia, this country is the world fourth most populous country, but there is no a lot of problem that is connected to the population problem. But there…

The United Nations has expressed good credit to Indonesia for its commitment to promote food and nutrition security, a crucial move to make sure a stronger future.

David Nabarro, a representative of the UN Secretary-General for Food and Nutrition, appreciated the commitments made by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the administration regarding food and nutrition policies.

When the Suharto government launched its successful rice individual program in the 1970s, it…

From my research, there are lots of problems that cause food crisis around the world. Food is important for humans because it protects their bodies from illness and gives them energy to their body so they can do their daily activities. In Indonesia for example. First problem that cause food crisis is that overpopulation. Overpopulation means that human population is increasing which means that the capacity of the land it inhabits cannot exceed. Because of overpopulation, human need to cut…

Food security is very important at our world since we eat 3 times a day or even more. Food security is a measure of ensured access to essential nutrition. These are some of the factors that make food crisis:

- Overpopulation

- Lack of tools

- Died crops because of natural disasters

- Draught

- Pests

In my country that is Indonesia only faces one problem that may cause food crisis. We have no problem of overpopulation here or this issue is not big. Our farmers…

All living things need survive and they survive by eating, drinking and living in a proper shelter. Food security is one of the world's biggest problem people are facing now and Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous country that are facing the food security. With the total of 237 million people living in Indonesia, approximately 25 million people are facing food insecure, particularly households engaged in food and cash crop subsistence farming and agricultural wage labor. The…

I have been reading up a bit about vertical farming, a great idea that could help alleviate food shortages in major cities and urban areas. Here's a video from a TEDx event with D***son Despommier talking about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIdP00u2KRA

Of course this isn't just a great idea for huge cities, but it's a great idea for anywhere, including right here in Charleston, where land is expensive and difficult to come…

According to an Economist article I read there is enough food today to feed everyone, it is just a distributional issue that stems from government corruption and cost to transport.

In the future food issues will be multiplied by desertification, so tax incentives should be put in place for keeping at-risk areas green

I researched a food bank in Atlanta, GA called the Atlanta Community Food Bank and found it to be interesting. Their website says that over 27% of children in GA live in households without food security and almost 18 percent of the population lives in poverty. Im from GA and I didnt realize that there were that many people struggling to find food. The ACFB collects food and school supplies and distributes it to children in schools that are going hungry. 94% of the donations are used to buy…

African hunger is a very seriuse issue and it has been for a very long time.
It is hard to stop something like this because food is a very important resourse and can not last for long periods of time.For many African families, farming is there only source of food and if the weather does not agree then that means they will not get much food. By donating it can help this dramaticly because it will change there farms for the better.

I guess in Germany the biggest problem is that you normally don't recognize the hunger of the people around you.
Sure, it is also a big problem that so much food is thrown away.The government should do something to prevent hunger and food shortage.

In New Zealand the people most affected by food insecurity are those who lost their jobs in the earthquake. With lots of businesses closed down in the CBD many people have struggled to find employment after the loss of their jobs. With taxes going up to support the rebuild of the city the unemployed are borrowing money to feed their family. But when the money stops who knows when their next supermarket visit will be!

The biggest and worst food security problem near me is after the earthquake in Christchurch. People have lost their jobs from all the buisnesses and buildings going down. This means they don't have much money which means that they can no longer buy food. When they can't buy food for their family they can't feed their kids and the kids have to go to school with no food in their lunches. The gouvernment is trying their best to help them though, so bit by bit, its getting a little better.

Because of all the earthquakes in my city of Christchurch, New Zealand, a lot of people have lost their homes and jobs and are running out money to feed their family's and themselves. I think that is the worst food security problem near me. There are people trying to help, there are food trucks that go round to places and give free groceries to earthquake victim familys. I'd love to help too, and I will.

I believe that the biggest challenge to food security is being able to provide access to safe, clean, and timely food to everyone. I believe that this will get harder and harder as animal populations decline, and as the population increases. In my community and more specifically my school, there are efforts to educate people on the importance of food, to only take as much as you need, and to understand the troubles of people worldwide to get precious food.

The biggest challenge to food security in Hong Kong is that we, as a city, are almost completely dependent on imports for food. If for only a few days the food imports stopped, we would have almost no food to eat. As a result, people are beginning to want more food sustainability inside our city and the surrounding countryside.

In my community there isn't a lot of food insecurity compared to other countries and communities around the world, but I think one of the main problems in Christchurch is due to the earthquakes that we've had since September 2010. Many people have lost their jobs and/or their houses because of the earthquakes and for some families there may simply not be enough money to buy food. At some low decile schools, morning tea/lunch is provided, and people can go to organisations like the Salvation…
