Pakistan faces a severe food insecurity crisis due to climatic changes causing catastrophic events like droughts and floods. Droughts over the last many years have reduced wheat crop yields by 9-30% for every 1 degree Celsius temperature increase. The extreme droughts in 2009-2010 are believed to have cut farmers' crop yields in half. Massive floods in 2010-2011 wiped out Pakistan's entire agricultural system, destroying standing and stored crops, irrigation infrastructure, and farmers' tools and livelihoods. The 2010 floods alone caused over $2.2 billion in damages, primarily to rural Punjab, by damaging rice, vegetable, and maize crops. Extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change have seriously impacted Pakistan's food

Food is life and the global food sustainability is essential to human being survival. The global food system is highly
complex and is driven by various factors including environment, cultural, social and economic drive. It is vital to understand
these drivers and their interaction in order to help to improve the public food sustainability policies. Global polices and projects
desperately required in order improving the global food sustainability. Food sustainability is one of the unsolved global issues
and great commitment is required starting from global policy makers, national governments, and every individual home. This
research paper includes analysis and study of various elements such as global change science, policy, food crisis, factor affecting
and challenging food security, data on status and future projection and potential ways of solving problems. The goal of food
sustainability is to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and have a reasonable quality of life without
compromising the quality of life of future generations. Agriculture sustainability is the best solution which can feed the world
without compromising the environment or threatening human health. Scientific evidence that global environment has changed
is overwhelming and indisputable. These phenomena have a direct impact on agriculture which in turn affects food
sustainability. The food price is always toward upward trend which is validated by the periodic average global food price
monitoring report released by the Food and agricultural organizations. The factors affecting and challenging the food security
are many including increased food consumption due to population increase, uneven distribution, changes in living styles, limited
resources, environmental problems, economic problems and others. The potential ways to solve food sustainability need to be
established and implemented effectively across the world.

In this presentation i have discussed about the importance of food resources, world food problems and changes caused in agriculture and its impact and also it will clearly explain about the condition in Indian food economy. it will also explain a overgrazing in the land
Changes in climate affects the land and farming immensely. Due to this,the crop growth is affected and results in inadequacy of seasonal crop outcome which does not meet the demands of the living beings. Hence, Climatic change has become a chief issue to be looked forth in order to prevent further threatenings to the livelihood. I have made a gist of the existing issue on climate changes and the insecurities of food resources in India.
Food security is a multifaceted and manifold paradox that includes social,
biological, nutritional and economic aspects. Food is not only related to dietetic
sources but also plays numerous roles in social life and is closely linked to cultural
differentials. Despite its multi-dimensional approach, food security has been
molded in a number of ways since its dawn. However, food security was
transformed from a micro to a macro level during the World Food Conference of
1974. Food security exists “when all people at all times have physical, economic
and social access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food, essential for meeting their
dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life”. The present
study was conducted in light of a sociological perspective in the district of Torghar,
Northern Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan to assess the household food security
status. A sample of 379 household head was selected out of 26464 as per the
proportional allocation method. Moreover, descriptive and inferential statistics was
further used at descriptive and bivariate analysis. With regards to demographic
profile of the respondents 37% of household heads were between the ages of 46-
55, with 42% of illiterates, 70% of household heads were part of a joint family
system, and 84 percent were waiting for rain to irrigate their agricultural area.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Definition of food security
„Food security is achieved when all people, at all times, have physical,
social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet
their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life‟
4. Definition of Food Security By FAO
Food security is defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations as, “when all people, at all times, have physical, social, and
economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their
dietary and food preferences for an active and healthy life,” (FAO 1996). A
household is considered food secure when its occupants do not live in
hunger or fear of starvation. The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) defines the four aspects of food security as follows:
5. Food Availability
1. Food availability is determined by the physical quantities of food that are
produced, stored, processed, distributed, and exchanged.
2. Food accessibility is the ability to secure the resources (including legal,
political, economic, and social) to access food.
3. Food use refers to how food is used and how people secure essential
nutrients from food and includes the nutritional value of the diet, social
values of foods, and the quality and safety of the food supply.
4. Food system stability or sustainability is determined by the temporal
availability of, and access to, food (FAO 2008).
6. Situation of food security in Pakistan
• Pakistan faces a severe crisis regarding the food security issues. The whole
nation has been gripped by a grave state of malnutrition as catastrophic
climatic events resulting because of the process of global warming have
destroyed the food resources and halted its availability to the masses. The
food security has diminished to such an extent that it is a norm in
thousands of houses to have foodless days. The picture of Food deficiency
in Pakistan was revealed to people all over the world, as many heart
rendering events captured by cameras hit screens around the globe. The
most appalling among these was the death of 20 malnourished women
and girls occurring as a result of a stampede to get sacks of rice in Karachi.
Similarly, the disturbing situation of food security in Pakistan was also
exposed as in 2010,as a man blew himself up at the office of United
Nations World Food Program(WFP) in Islamabad, killing 5 employees.
7. Role of droughts on food insecurity situation of
Pakistan
Pakistan has been in the grip of severe droughts for the last many years.
Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to these climatic changes as it is already
facing significant water shortages with temperatures touching the sky. A
Decline in the wheat yield in semi-arid areas of Pakistan in the range of 9
to 30% for temperature increases of 1 degree centigrade is estimated. The
extremely reduced crop yields in 2009 and 2010 are believed to be a
consequence of droughts. Farmers claim a 50% decrease in their crop
yields, particularly in the province of KPK
8. Role of floods in food insecurity situation of
Pakistan
1. The mammoth floods of 2010 and 2011 wiped out the entire agricultural
apparatus of Pakistan. In addition to the destruction of the standing and
stored crops, damage to irrigation infrastructure and roads, as well as
farmers‟ losses of seeds, tools and machinery also occurred at a large
scale, annihilating entire villages and hitting the economy hard.
2. The 2010 floods caused widespread damage to monsoon kharif crops
that were still standing in the fields in August and early September.
3. The losses have been estimated at $2.2 billion in Pakistan, with rural
Punjab contributing $1.2 billion to it.
4. The irrigated areas affected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is estimated to be
400,000 hectares, which is a minion as compared to the 1.5 million
hectares in the province of Punjab, the irrigation hub of the country.
5. The floods have reportedly destroyed 71% of the standing rice crop, 59%
of vegetable crop and 45% of the maize crop in the country.
