Visthar-Session 2: Causes of Food Insecurity
The power-point on Session 2 of the workshop on Gender and Food Security in India organised by Visthar, Bangalore highlights causes of food insecurity and gender specific causes of food insecurity in India. It also outlines the methodology adopted. A case study on Gangamma was used to highlight causes/gender specific causes of food insecurity at production, access and utlisation levels. Though the session focused on India the framework for analysis of food insecurity could be used anywhere
Nutritional measures to overcome malnutrition
Malnutrition is one of the biggest problem in countries. know about food fortification, gm foods and germination methods to overcome this problem !
Quality food, quality life
This document discusses improving crop yields through better farming techniques. It explains that crops require specific climates and growing seasons. Common kharif crops like rice are grown between June to August, while rabi crops like wheat are grown from November to May. The document also states that yields can be increased by using modern farming methods like pesticides and insecticides, as well as higher quality hybrid seeds that are more resistant to diseases and pests and have shorter growing periods. Examples of hybrid seeds that provide higher yields include T 141 rice and Sonara 64 wheat.
Food of the future
This document discusses modern problems related to malnutrition and obesity. It identifies malnutrition as occurring when people do not get an essential diet or any food, affecting 1 in 5 children in developing countries. Obesity is also a growing issue, with projections that 2.3 billion people will be overweight and 700 million will be obese by 2025 according to the WHO. The document proposes solutions like genetically modified foods to increase crop yields, promoting biodiversity in food production, and reducing fast and processed foods which use valuable resources that could help undeveloped nations.
Quality food,quality life
India has a large and growing population, increasing the demand for food. To improve food production and quality, the government implemented several initiatives in the 1960s and 1970s, including using fertilizers, better irrigation, and high-yielding seed varieties. This led to the "Green Revolution" which substantially increased cereal crop yields. In the 1970s, Operation Flood was launched to increase milk production through the National Dairy Development Board, making India the largest milk producer - the "White Revolution". These efforts helped India improve its food security through higher-yielding hybrid crops and seeds.

FoodMood explores the opportunities presented by the data sharing world of today’s cities using global English language tweets about food coupled with sentiment analysis. It aims to gain a better understanding of global food consumption patterns and its impact on the daily emotional well being of people against the backdrop of country data such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and obesity levels.
Food Security in India
Food security means that enough food is available for all people and that all people can afford to buy food. Drought can cause food shortages and increased prices in affected areas, making food unaffordable for some and leading to food insecurity. Prolonged food insecurity or widespread shortages over a large area can cause starvation and even famine. India's food security systems include maintaining buffer stocks and a public distribution system to provide food to those who cannot afford it.

Technological advances in agriculture helped increase food production through the Green Revolution of the 1960s. Key aspects included high-yielding crop varieties, fertilizers, pesticides, improved irrigation, and mechanization. However, overuse of these technologies can cause environmental issues like waterlogging, salinization, and eutrophication. While genetically modified crops provide benefits, they also pose uncertainties and risks to biodiversity, health, and small farmers. Food shortages result from physical factors like climate change and extreme weather; political issues such as civil strife and poor governance; economic challenges including rising food demand and costs; and social problems like lack of access, distribution difficulties, and rapid population growth. Technology alone cannot solve food insecurity—

This document discusses genetically modified foods and explores both the positive and negative effects. It defines genetically modified foods as foods derived from organisms that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. The most common genetically modified crops are soy, corn, cotton, and canola. The document summarizes benefits like increased crop yields and pest resistance, but also lists potential health risks and environmental concerns. It also examines the debate around labeling genetically modified ingredients.
Genetically modified food
Genetically modified foods are created by altering the DNA of food crops. The top three reasons for genetic modification are to make crops resistant to herbicides, improve nutritional content, and increase crop yields. Potential benefits include lower costs for farmers and more durable, nutritious foods. However, critics argue that GM foods could lead to antibiotic resistance, new diseases, and harm the environment through gene transfer to weeds and loss of biodiversity. There is ongoing debate around labeling and regulation of genetically modified organisms in food.
Smartfood- Good for you - the planet - the farmer by Joanna Kane-Potaka, Assi...
This was brought together in a holistic approach with a recommended focus on Smart Food – food that is defined as good for you (nutritious and healthy), good for the planet (environmentally sustainable) and good for the farmer. It was highly recommended to learn from all the interventions suggested but to not implement these in silos. Instead to find solutions that fulfil all the criteria of Smart Food. This was presented by Joanna Kane-Potaka, Assistant Director General, External Relations, ICRISAT. She explained how development had focused on food security when stopping mass starvation was needed, later with the recognition of hidden hunger, nutrition security was added and now the UN talks about sustainable diets – diets sustainable on the environment. The recommendation is that the focus now needs to be on Smart Food – food that fulfils all criteria of being good for you, the plant and the farmer.
Addressing Food Imbalances in Ethiopia

Say 'NO' to HUNGER!
Over 870 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat, with Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa most affected. Hunger disproportionately impacts women and children, contributing to millions of child deaths each year. Malnutrition is the leading global health risk, even exceeding diseases like AIDS and malaria. Several organizations work to alleviate hunger, including Action Against Hunger which treats malnourished individuals and increases access to water/sanitation for millions annually. While progress has been made, hunger remains a severe global problem.

Malnutrition is the leading global health risk, even exceeding diseases like AIDS and malaria. Several organizations work to alleviate hunger, including World Vision's famine relief programs and Action Against Hunger which treats malnourished children and increases access to water and sanitation for over 5 million people annually. While progress has been made, hunger remains a severe global issue.
Virtus
This document proposes an innovative model to address India's malnutrition problem. It involves three key components: 1) educating adolescent mothers on nutrition so they can properly nourish themselves and their children, 2) providing nutrient supplements to mothers at primary health centers, and 3) distributing flavored peanut paste fortified with nutrients to children under 5, especially in severely affected areas. It also suggests improving the mid-day meal scheme through public-private partnerships for more efficient implementation. The model aims to holistically address malnutrition from the stage of expecting mothers through early childhood.

Protein-fortified food & beverage market opportunities
Protein is a macronutrient that is growing in appeal and demand in today’s market. Consumers of all ages recognize its benefits in muscle health, weight and energy management and actively seek it in the foods they buy. Here some facts about proteins
Meal to heal
This document describes a study conducted on a multigrain, gluten-free and protein-rich flour called "Meal to Heal". The flour was developed for health-conscious individuals and can help treat various disorders by reducing gluten intake. Sensory tests found the flour's texture, aroma, appearance and flavor were well-accepted. Microbial tests determined the flour is safe to consume for up to 2 months. The study concluded the flour is an innovative health alternative that can both treat and prevent conditions like celiac disease, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Genetically Modified Food
Genetically modified foods have been developed since 1983 when the first genetically engineered plant was created. GM foods are produced by inserting genes from other organisms into crops to give them new traits like pest or disease resistance. While GM foods could increase yields and nutrition, there are also health and environmental concerns. In the Philippines, Bt corn was first introduced commercially in 2002 but the Catholic Church and some groups oppose GM foods due to safety issues. The regulatory system for GM foods in the Philippines is also limited.
Food supplies
The document discusses issues around food supplies and malnutrition in India. It notes that while India has become self-sufficient in food grain production, malnutrition remains a major problem, with 60 million children underweight. Factors like poor distribution systems, unemployment, and low wages contribute to malnutrition. Solutions require action at various levels, including improving production, nutrition education, and social welfare programs. The government of India has implemented various nutritional programs but more still needs to be done to fully address the problems of food insecurity and malnutrition.
Pat Garrity on Local Foods
The current industrial food system relies heavily on fossil fuels and is damaging the environment through soil erosion, water contamination and pollution. Local, sustainable farming practices that use less fossil fuels and replenish the soil are better for the environment. Educating consumers about the benefits of local food and connecting them directly with farmers who use sustainable practices can help shift people's food choices to options that are healthier, support the local economy and reduce environmental impacts.

Nourish Network 2023 Trend Report.pptx
The document summarizes key trends from the 2023 Nourish Network Trend Report, including:
1) The rise of reducatarianism, or reducing rather than eliminating meat consumption, and demand for clean labels on plant-based meats.
2) The connection between poor sleep and unhealthy eating habits, representing an opportunity for products that promote better sleep.
3) Opportunities to develop food products tailored to women's unique health needs and life stages.
4) The influence of social media and digital technologies on globalizing food trends and the consumer experience.
Your Deadly Diet Habits
Many people are unaware of the improper diet habits that they have been having for years. Prevention can start as early as the time you start crawling but many people only see the importance when the problems in their body starts to surface.

organicfood- dilemma.pdf
Organic foods are produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified organisms. While organic foods can provide certain health and environmental benefits, they also tend to be more expensive to produce and not as widely available. The document discusses some of the key advantages and disadvantages of organic foods, including that organic foods may contain higher nutrient levels but organic farming is more labor intensive, leading organic products to cost more for consumers. Availability of organic options can also be limited compared to conventional foods.

A table shows the common understanding of food security policy formulation and implementation across four districts. It discusses focusing on long-term impacts rather than just outputs and inputs through impact assessments. Finally, it questions how far increased food production actually leads to public welfare and discusses green economy as a potential approach.
Managing Human Resources for Civil Servants in Yogyakarta
This document discusses managing human resources for civil servants in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It provides an overview of Indonesia's civil servants, noting issues like an imbalance in distribution not matching needs. It also discusses decentralization and human resource management under administrative decentralization. Key issues are identified like budget control, capacity, education and training.

DSR involves raising domestic support and thanks organizations like CIM-GIZ, MDF Indochina for their assistance. The next steps are to prioritize DSR and determine how to implement it by dealing with related next steps.
Food security policy
1. The document discusses food security policy formulation and implementation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It outlines Indonesia's national food security framework and policies, which focus on the four dimensions of availability, access, stability, and utilization.
2. At the regional level in Yogyakarta, food security policies have been integrated into development plans and include agricultural revitalization, environmental protection, food marketing, and social safety nets. Statistical data on food security trends is needed to better monitor and evaluate policy outcomes.
3. Coordination between government institutions is important for effective policy implementation. In Yogyakarta, the provincial secretary oversees food security coordination, with roles played by the Agriculture Service
Achieving sustainable food security for all
The document discusses sustainable food security in Indonesia. It notes that while Indonesia was generally food secure in 2007, food insecurity was caused by issues of availability and access. Local governments aim to tackle barriers to food accessibility like limited stocks and poor infrastructure. Achieving sustainable food security requires balancing production with population growth, environmental protection, and cultural dimensions of food consumption. Both increasing domestic food production and ensuring access through measures like subsidies are important, but distribution channels need improving and dependency on imports reducing. Sustainable solutions require considering agricultural land scarcity and favoring production in suitable ecological zones over large estates that damage the environment.
