Hi! are there and registered dietitians working within food security that can talk about what your job is like/ what path you took to get there?

This is for a research project! please share your thoughts on it!

Chicago is the largest city in Illinois and the third largest city in the U.S. It is well known for having problems, such as it’s high crime and history of political corruption, but one problem that is just as important but that hasn’t received as much attention is its issue of food security. As showed to the attached chart, the rates of food insecurity spiked massively in Chicago when COVID began, however even after the COVID issue shrunk, those rates still remained significantly high.

The issue of hunger is no easy one to solve, especially in a massive city like Chicago. That’s a lot of mouths to feed! As an ordinary citizen, and not a politician with significant money or power, what can we do to work on this issue?

-Donating! - Food kitchens, food pantries, and shelters are on the frontlines fighting this crisis, and you could support them on the frontline via physically helping out or donating money or supplies. -Spreading the message! - this could be to your friends and family, or to politicians to take more measures to help those in misfortune.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider.

Hi,

I work in wholesale food industry and am deeply concerned about shoring up global food security. Is this sub still active?

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations maintains the Suite of Food Security Indicators, which describe and quantify food security in various countries worldwide. There are a total of thirty indicators grouped into four dimensions. Clicking on the topmost "Preview" on the right side of the following page will direct you to a color-coded map of the world (https://data.apps.fao.org/catalog/dataset/faostat-food-security).

These heatmaps display absolute values (both non-normalized and normalized, e.g., as a percentage). However, I believe it is valuable to observe the direction and magnitude of change. This is because improvements or deteriorations in a country greatly influence perceptions of life in that country. To address this, I have created an analytical web service that aggregates established indices, including the Suite of Food Security Indicators.

This web service offers several types of pages for the Suite of Food Security Indicators:
- The 'About' page lists indicators within dimensions and provides a description of the methodology (https://stateruler.org/food-security-dynamics/).
- The 'States' (https://stateruler.org/food-security-dynamics/state/) and 'Groups' (https://stateruler.org/food-security-dynamics/group/) pages list countries and groups of countries.
- Pages for individual countries and groups (if data is available) visualize changes and cumulative changes in food security across dimensions. They also link to changes for individual indicators.

For example, please take a look at the G7 group (https://stateruler.org/food-security-dynamics/group/G7/). I hope you find this service useful, providing you with new insights into food security.

Guys we need to revive this subreddit by posting more and more relevant news articles as well as posting this in more popular subreddits.Suggest ways to make this subreddit better!!!

HarvestPlus and partners continue to fight hunger by fortifying diets worldwide.

2023 will mark the 20th anniversary of HarvestPlus. The company develops nutritional-agricultural technology to improve the nutrition of staple foods. The company’s website highlights “hidden hunger” or the often invisible micronutrient malnutrition that over 2 billion people worldwide suffer.

The organization takes a practical approach, working locally with partners to develop resources to fight the problems that scale. Here is more background on the group and its expanding mission.

1. An approach to food production known as “biofortification”

Biofortification is the process of increasing the density of micronutrients in widely consumed staple crops through methods including conventional plant breeding and agronomic practices.

2. Breeding for improved yields and nutritional quality

In Pakistan, one of the highest wheat-consuming countries in the world, the zinc wheat variety Akbar-2019 is now a ‘mega-variety’. It provides 30 percent more zinc and 8-10 percent higher yield than previous popular varieties.

3. Commitment to innovation and cooperation that scales

These collective efforts and alliances are the catalyst behind the scale up to over 86 million people in farming households eating nutrient-enriched foods in 2022, 22% more than in 2021.

Egypt is on the brink of a food crisis, needs a major policy rethink.

Last year, Egypt needed a $3 billion loan from the IMF. The situation has only worsened since. The Egyptian economy is struggling with inflation nearing 40% in June and food inflation soaring over 60%. Egypt depends on imports for over half of its food needs. The country is on the brink of a food crisis.

Food shortages and inflation led to the formation of GASC, or the General Authority for Supply Commodities, in the late 1960s. GASC manages the procurement of commodities ranging from staples like wheat and vegetable oils to maintaining domestic market price balances.

GASC often issues public tenders so companies can compete to win the business. They rarely provide validating information regarding inventory levels or domestic consumption, so it can take time to discern the motive for buying activities.

For example, GASC will announce inventories of five or more months and then shortly after issuing a tender. Traders are left wondering whether inventories are ample or GASC is sending a signal trying to lower prices before needing to purchase.

The escalation in Ukraine is forcing a rethink of food and agriculture policy in Egypt. The country must improve water usage, agriculture production, and agri-tech investment. Egypt now faces a full-blown crisis and needs big solutions to address them.

There is no simple fix, and the situation could worsen quickly if the Black Sea were cut-off entirely. Get the full article at the link below.
