Poor countries suffer from weak food and drug security, and they depend on aid from major countries. Therefore, these poor countries are subordinate to the major countries, and this affects the sovereignty of those countries, and therefore, how can those countries build their food and drug security?
My publication of me and my colleagues are involved in food chain safety especially in animal products such as pigs.
Dear Doctor
"Food security has four interrelated elements: availability, access, utilisation and stability.
- Availability is about food supply and trade, not just quantity but also the quality and diversity of food. Improving availability requires sustainable productive farming systems, well managed natural resources, and policies to enhance productivity.
- Access covers economic and physical access to food. Improving access requires better market access for smallholders allowing them to generate more income from cash crops, livestock products and other enterprises.
- Utilisation is about how the body uses the various nutrients in food. A person’s health, feeding practices, food preparation, diversity of their diet and intra-household distribution of food all affect a person’s nutrition status. Improving utilisation requires improving nutrition and food safety, increasing diversity in diets, reducing post-harvest loss and adding value to food.
- Stability is about being food secure at all times. Food insecurity can be transitory with short term shocks the result of a bad season, a change in employment status, conflict or a rise in food prices. When prices rise, it is the poor who are most at risk because they spend a much higher portion of their income on food. Poor people in Malawi spend nearly 78% of their income on food, while poor in the US, spend just 21% (CCAFS 2014). Social nets can play an important role is supporting people through transitory food insecurity."
Those are the major aspects for food security, anyway our duties are also concerned on food safety and how to make a better world with well-being
health and spiritual.
First need to study the reasons behind being a poor country? Then they can plan to bring themselves out of poverty.Their govt., administration, and all kind of stake holders and citizen members should focus on comming out of poverty. Once their income starts to go up they should be able to secure food and drugs. this is not going yo happen over night. It is a time consuming process, but they will have to start it some day. They cant depend of charity or aids forever.
