A 1000000000 people go hungry every night hello welcome this is equal india and im somewhat of a group coming to you from mumbai roughly one top of the form produce to the world for human consumption every year approximately 1300000000 tons gets lost a wasted so waste is one of the most Important Reasons for hungered in the world how can do you avoid this we are some people in bali what they thought when we have left office then we are bringing a net soon to the office the next day and shove it where my colleagues and we eat we have a big lunch together via long to be thrown away left overs and put them in the recycling bin. No more than 3600000 people live in the lane and more than 13000000 visitors come every year and makes up many cultures and ways of dealing with food and with leftovers. If you buy enough. Youll eat enough and youll not the vase the yeah thats the logic and i buy in small quantities and if there is some left over from some meals if its fit meats we have a lot of stray cats and dogs in turkey so we just feed them eat those leftovers. And thats it i usually do not trouble my job i do this i put it in the freezer or give it to my friends i think its my time thats about what one great thing you can do with old praed is to cut it into small pieces and let it dry and then when you need it soften it up with water or milk maybe add an egg and youve got a great deal for dumplings at some herbs or vegetables and fry it up its really tasty. To me inside his and i dont like going shopping all the time so i just look in the fridge and eat whatever i find so i started composing at home so. Im trying to do something new and good now another big reason for hunger to malnutrition particularly in emerging countries is forced harvest losses this means ive recalled to the produce that is harvested never makes it to the consumers plate why does this happen lets take a closer look. At. The north these dirty sprawled over more than 90 years is doubted as issue as largest wholesome fruit and Vegetable Market it is also referred to as the monday that never sleeps. Like every day fresh vegetables have arrived from all parts of the country but the market has opened to a slow creating day. Trading in farm produce in this part of the world all has been a volatile business are struggling for critters to get good prices. Every hour is crucial for these must have gone to days of raw food fragile and battleship ill and humid weather and most of which have already traversed long distances by road and great food wrested has been a central problem. There is a lot of waste that takes place here. And so many we actually end up losing even know what it. Is and ive been a plenty and the bad thing about him. No more popularly as sonny is a leading capsicum critter at the monday has consignments arrived from all over india including shims jungleland. But in the absence of an integrated gold chain system and much of the produce marketing is still following age old trade practices a big chunk of his rage the old often padded shoes during the long journeys. If a farmer makes a mistake that could have been sent becomes even more. If a farmer does not use the right kind of packaging the damage can go up to 60 to 70 percent instead of using a box that costs. If you decide to go with the one that cost him 52. 00 peas in an attempt to save the whole consignment ends up going. To say. It is a sad irony that in india counted amongst the 20 countries suffering the most from acute levels of hunger up to 40 percent of its fruit and vegetables remain unsold in the market most of it going to waste and rotting in garbage dumps you do gaps in the supply chain. A researcher on Food Security and Climate Change stresses that there are Different Reasons for food wastage around the world. There are various studies some studies put it at around 20 percent but some studies cause as high as 40 percent so its difficult to put exact figure on how much is wasted but the fact remains that whether it is a developed country or developing country still food is wasted the numbers are different but it is the gift of the numbers good amount of food vested the only difference is that there is a difference between the nature of wasted natural food i dismissed it between developing and developed countries most of the time in developing countries food wastage takes place between farm to read to you whereas in developed countries its between the consumer. According to the u. N. Food and Agriculture Organization india waste. 1000000000 euro. The country produces enough food to feed its population in theory the challenge law is in preventing it from going to waste. Agricultural economist walking one brown was the director general of the International Food policy Research Institute for many years food waste forced harvest losses hunger and malnutrition hes been working to find solutions to these problems for decades our team went to him some questions. Were laying the table with your theme from brown hes been studying agriculture and health and nutrition for almost half a century. Too much on the tabors is leading to. Food waste and losses and their word is wasting and losing a lot of food more than 1000000000 tons a year and that has to change. Every year consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food as the entire net Food Production of Subsaharan Africa and yet the problem is global. So the losses and wastes add up to one 3rd of the word food supplies. And its about 8 to 10 percent of all Greenhouse Gas emissions on earth that is. Approximately or so was. The traffic on the street is emitting so we have a climate problem in front of us a lot of the vast amount of food thats lost or wasted could be avoided if certain key measures were adopted. We need. Much better infrastructure in the food chains we need cold storage we need Proper Storage against insects and we need well functioning market so that things that are harvested are getting quickly to. To most. Its estimated that more than 820000000 people are undernourished and that has far reaching consequences it means. There is a seriously affected. Their labor productivity. Impaired. And especially our mothers and children are most seriously affected so we have about 150000000 children under 5 years of age who is paris is seriously affected by. Another problem is unbalanced diet malnutrition affects a 3rd of the worlds population that includes undernutrition micronutrient deficiencies overweight and obesity lots of people are still calorie deficient so this rise is important to feed. But. A poor diet meaning a diet that lex vita means or good proteins they are seriously impaired and their health. Impacts their productivity. Brain capacity and bad diet leads to a low productivity and that leads to poverty and low income. U. S. Teams on Browns Center for Development Research seeks to develop strategies to provide everybody with enough to eat. We have to invest in over coming. Better nutrition under nutrition so that people are more productive and. That uplifts society is the economic way of being of of low income nations so. Its not just. Donating in order to feed people but overcoming hunger means. Very productive investment and. One of the Un Sustainable Development goals is 0 hunger by 21st so but still an awful lot to do. Now india has the largest number of hungry people in a single country one in 9 people dont have enough to eat and organization operating in 52 cities across the country is trying to change this by collecting excess food from restaurants wedding receptions and corporate counties which would most likely be thrown movie and distributing it among those who cant afford a healthy meal. And. Its time for a handy lesson but all minds are on the lunch thats about to be served in the next room. Could these 200. 00 children from a low Income Neighborhood in good graham lunch might be the only warm meal they get that. Being a privately funded school dreamgirl foundation doesnt qualify for the government me program so they have teamed up with an Organization Called feeding india it ensures that days enough food so that the children stay in school. Because this program to my heart is pushing to parch i which is where kids who come to schools they usually dont want to have any incentive to the parents for some times we really wanted them to come to these schools and we give them a meal and an incentive covered trust set up feeding india in 2014 in an attempt to address the issue he found it really troubling when i was 22 years or i was doing a corporate job in google and at that point of time i happened to visit a very big not very far away from my house incidentally a reading where there were more than 25 scenes of food which were being served and while i was there when a friends apartment to my witches. What would happen to that soap less food but excess food that would be left after the reading was over and i went up with a clear try. Thinking there would be an answer to this question in a developing country but told me that all the extra food that i was going to spend and what was disturbing was going to affect 10000 people. Feeding india works to address systematic hunger by understanding food waste mobilizing people to reduce wastage and enabling surplus food to reach those in need it is based in delhi but has a network of over 20000 volunteers in 86 different cities and towns across india actually a lot of people dont know that india actually has the highest number of hungry people in the world feeding them believes that for to be given to both and the people who do not have access to food or regularly or other ways so we have 5 key people that we give food to Children Women elderly specially built and Migrant Workers these are people who do not get access to food regularly on nutritious food ok o. B. D. What we need when giving food on the street or just landing giving out food the point of the organization is not to serve meals its to actually address the problem of hunger. To keep the food flowing the organization has partnered with restaurant chains and coffees across different cities. Leftover pizza slices or some most ers are collected by feeding india which then checks the quality of the food. Thanks. Volunteers are called hunger heaters depending on where they live which restaurants are in the neighborhood or where large events are being held. The teams are put together and sent out to collect and distribute food. It is transported in a refrigerated van to schools and institutions so that the food doesnt spoil on the way to places like this home for the aged in good to cram. Mean. To deter to the men at large have had their weekly feel from feeding india. We have seen that you know if any person as an institution. If they are throwing them out they went up 10 percent of that about if they stood for if particular office 2000 employees excess would be poor becoming a profit to 50 people 300. 00 people forget imagine that you know we can feed 2 for 300 people every day basis feeding india has recently tied up with a large Food Service Company that operates all over india this is one of its warehouses that procures 12 tons of ingredients from farmers and importers everything that they can supply to restaurants but restaurants are normally critical of potatoes to bent out of shape or capsicums that arent the right shade of green so those that dont make the cut are set aside for feeding india nutritious and ready to be cooked. About the. Equivalent of a well that is one aspect of feeding indias work is reaching out to the community at large volunteers need to present to teves of president ial associations to talk to them about the scale of food waste in india and what they could do about it the level of your slave trade. We do food loving country right and were also aware that there are hungry people some for some reason since decades even in the festivals that we celebrate the food i think getting people to change their behavior getting people to not. Or you know great packs of sweets and i think that is something which has been the biggest challenge as a country. And for us as an organization. Could work to me that shift through initiatives Like Community free just that have been set up to encourage people to act on an individual level any food that might go bad or leftovers that are not going to be eaten can be dropped off and are eventually donated. The fridges best set up after similar initiatives gained popularity in saudi are obvious and thoughts of europe and have now sprung up in several cities across india weve had instances when people are happy for ages and. More because now they have access to food. Over the last 5 years feeding india has served more than 25000000 meals it aims to take the number to a 1000000000 across 100 cities by 2021. The importance of not wasting food needs to be at an early age especially because of the number of resources that go into producing food for the planet an organization in germany is trying to do just that by conducting workshops for schoolchildren to mindfully dealing with food together with rescued food which is food thats fostered 6 but is still good to be useful and learn about how food waste can be avoided at home. The students at this brylin Elementary School are going to be cooking today the unusual thing about this school lunch workshop. Is the ingredients which nearly ended up at the dump. That this is all produce that we rescued yesterday from a local supermarket that sells organic food we go there once or twice a week and find great stuff heres some carrots in various colors they were rejected as theyre slightly soft on the bit wrinkled but theyre still fine to eat today. And they founded an association 4 years ago that makes use of leftover food she and her team go into schools to teach the children that fruit and vegetables that dont look perfect are still great to eat the students learn to appreciate the value of food in a playful way some are already quite well informed. Yeah you hear when we buy food in the supermarket here theres always enough and food costs money to be produced so its not right to just throw it away and. My mouth and make it their mantra is sometimes its because things just dont meet certain standards for example carrots are supposed to be straight and if theyre bent some people wont buy them. I guess its really its all just food thats grown crooked it doesnt mean you cant eat it. Before they get down to cooking the children learn about the process the food has been through from the start of production to landing on their dinner plate like meat for hamburger. And then the burger patties get taken by truck to the supermarket. It soon becomes clear that many valuable resources have gone into producing the food lying on supermarket shelves. Too many for the food to just be thrown away. By basic only super important to understand everything thats involved in producing food if we waste food sam apple that has a blemish were not just throwing away the apple but the time that went into it the c o 2 that was produced by transporting it etc. I am of course just its about making the children realise that theyre not just throwing the apple away but a lot more its really important. Since. The ingredients that the children are now cooking with couldnt have been sold any more the fruit and vegetables just arent attractive enough the bread to dry but its still fine for cooking and thats what annette equations association wants to show. This is still fresh a few bits were bad but i got rid of those so now its fine. In the end the children rustle up a healthy 3 course menu from the rescue food. They made soup. Salad and fruit compote. So far over a 1000 brylin School Children have taken part in the school lunch workshop and learned a lot about the value of food but the proof is in the putting food is only as good as it tastes. Good really yummy its the season in yeah that gives it Something Special i just took a little the try it but its nearly finished it i dont normally like salad that much but this is really good and i just like. Common i cant believe this would have been thrown away and wasted when its so good. And thats exactly the message the team wants to convey. It went well they were great group and really into it some of them knew quite a bit already i was quite impressed and they enjoyed the food to. The children acquired new Cooking Skills and learned not to waste food in future theyre likely to pay greater attention to whats ending up on their plates and in the trash. And aggregated at the new yorker is also experimenting successfully with something similar hundreds of restores Supermarkets Hotels and be crease have joined into so the food i dont get sued by the end of the big for cheaper of course lets see how that works and how consumers have reacted to it. When restaurants and cafes call it a day they often throw out leftover food thats perfectly edible. Thats not only a waste of food its also a waste of money and of the resources that went into making it. Thanks to a Smartphone App over 20000000 meals have now been rescued from the trash can. Too good to go direct uses to unsold food and then. Neighborhood. They can buy it half price by their smart phones. The food can be picked up when the store or restaurant is closed the business earns a little extra and even cuts down Waste Disposal costs. Theres also an environmental benefit since the act was launched in 201552000 tons of Carbon Dioxide have been saved in europe. France has become a hub of High Tech Solutions to tackle food waste in the country known for its gone me eating tradition theres even a law forbidding food waste by supermarkets if they fail to comply they face hefty fines. The start up comment saw has developed a Digital Solution for major supermarket chains they offer a tracking system for food once the products in a supermarket are about to expire the app notifies the employees and they can discount the food if nobody buys it it can be rescanned in donated to charity with Solutions Like this france has cut its food waste down to less than 2 percent of all the food produced in the country. Now food losses and a multitude of office 6000000000 u. S. Dollars industrialized countries and 310000000000 u. S. Dollars in emerging countries are action can help mitigate this drastically well be back next week with yet another episode a lot more for you to think about until that the but. How does it feel. When i come from the door thats good does this go it just like this chinese food doesnt matter where i am its a bowl with reminds me of kofi after decades of living in germany chinas photo is one of the things i miss the most i bet taking up that bag i see if they wanted to differentiate knowledge benefits of person to go nation. That exists the other part of the law which havent been implemented in china thats been a lot of Chinese People wondering if theyre going to take it but if i have a life another that is this is their job after that of the my how i see it and that this is why i love my job because i tried to do exactly that every day like they moved on into it and i was added up your. 2 own world unto itself.
