An equitable, more efficient and sustainable food production, distribution and consumption patterns can address the global issue of malnutrition that costs the global economy a whopping $13.6 trillion annually, says a report. The double burden of malnutrition and the rising demographics add pressure to the challenge and the environment, which can be addressed by a shift in food production and consumption towards a more sustainable system, the report by Credit Suisse Research Institute, the research arm of the Swiss brokerage, said on Tuesday.
Curses of poverty and affluence and the search for financial cures
September 6, 2018
Many believe that there is no such thing as too much money. At a closer look, however, the extreme abundance or absence of wealth both appear to be prime causes of anguish, albeit in incomparable proportions. Even moderate and temporary cases of poverty lead to all manner of problems, from stress and sleeplessness to ulcers and constant headaches; the poor are often denied their rights to dignity, housing, a clean environment, safe water and food, education, healthcare, labor, and freedom of movement.
It is also true that more people stress over the absence of wealth than those who suffer due to extreme riches. However, this is only the case since the precariat, and the extreme poor outnumber the wealthy by such huge margins.
