Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

During the past days I've spent on urgentevoke.com, I have come
across the problem of food security, which is a big problem not only in
that imaginary world, but in the real world as well.

Why Global Warming Portends a Food Crisis - TIME

There's a limit, however, to our ability to adapt to climate change. We need to reduce carbon emissions sharply and soon. If we fail, a warmer future
won't just be uncomfortable; it will be downright frightening. "We need
to wake up and take care of this," says Naylor. "We won't have enough
food to feed the world today, let alone tomorrow."
I have to admit, that this article makes a hell lot of sense than the hungry map.

This article actually explains something, though far not enough time was given for me to read it , I have the general idea that global warming
is killing the crops, we cannot grow enough crops to eat even today,
let alone tomorrow.

Sometimes, the work of food security begins immediately after a natural disaster, when the infrastructure and food supply of an otherwise
healthy community has been destroyed. In these instances, our efforts
may include emergency distributions of food, cash, and other essential
items to prevent outbreaks of severe malnutrition in the short-term,
and to ensure that crops can be replanted and livestock replenished for
the future. Sometimes, food security activities take place as a
follow-up to the work of our Therapeutic and Supplementary Feeding
Centers. By helping families regain self-sufficiency, we greatly reduce
the likelihood that they’ll have to return to our feeding centers
again.

Unlike nutrition, where treatment is guided by standard protocols based on human nutritional requirements, food security must take into account a wide range of
factors such as climate, geography, socio-economic systems, and
political structures. As a result, the programs we implement are highly
contextualized and must be tailored to meet the unique needs of each
community and each crisis. In order to do this, we begin with a
comprehensive evaluation of the situation and its underlying causes.

At Action Against Hunger, our food security programming forms a continuum with the work
This page more throughoutly explained about food security. After reading this page, I got a general idea of what food security is. Food security
is achieved when and only when everybody have more than enough food.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
