Due to the large scale of population of people I believe that Malthus theory of population totally may not applicable & in this line food for the entire human beings consisting of low & medium income group with high strata of society the food all though essential for every human beings may not be possible however change of food habits for every person & every community of the world have played a part where people may likely to get food ,clothing & shelter .

This is my personal opinion

Induction on agriculture is the main source of food.

No body can ensure such a dream. Distribution of wealth between rich and poor countries may ensure integration of food, industries, commerce, agriculture and all natural resources. But I doubt that this aspiration is going to happen.

Development of long-term and short-term strategies, guidance on food crops, alternative to commercially viable and more profitable crops, marketing and conservation of smallholder crops, optimal investment of water resources, land reclamation, plant factories

I think we had to regularize our traditions in eating and make our mouths as small as we could

instead of saying thanks require from three to help three others and ask each one of them to help three other persons

very interesting q

the last sentence was taken from Indian movie I guess from Sulman khan

I think even it might be difficult to achieve, the proposed statements and concepts mentioned by Dr Houda Kawas are ideal and feasible if it would be implemented in apprising and appropriate way

Improvement and adoption of modern farming techniques and use of technology for increasing the yield of food crops as well as steps to reduce the loss of these food crops from spoilage after harvesting by using proper post harvest techniques will ensure availability of food to all people of the world.

Improve the agricultural statistics and high yield varieties of crops develop without hampering nature and control population.

Informative question!

Thanks a lot Dr Segun, Dr Rohit, Dr Zainab and Dr Luaay for sharing your valuable contribution.

Thanks a lot Dr Hazim, Dr Houda, Dr Ali and Dr Koli for sharing your valuable thoughts.

Thanks a lot Dr Lamia, Dr Sandhyarani, Dr Pankaj and Dr Maham for sharing your valuable views.

Stop hegemony and monopoly!

Interesting!

I guess that Prof Ayoob get the point

Thanks Dr Ayoob, Dr Bassam, Dr Ali and Dr Slavoljub for sharing your valuable views.

Sustainable & innovative agricultural techniques can be helpful to accomplish this nd in addition, there r so many other unlimited factors like money, politics that substatially influence the food availability.

Thank you very much Dr Prabhjot for sharing your valuable views.

I think we need to stop wasting food. Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.) estimates the world produces enough food waste (about 1.4 billion tonnes) to feed as many as 2 billion people each year. That is roughly one-third of the global food supply. The annual food waste in Italy could feed 44 million people (all of Ethiopia's undernourished population). Similarly the annual food waste in France could feed the entire population of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Moreover, just 5% of United States food waste could feed 4 million people for one day.

Closing the gap between what is being produced and what could be produced would both reduce the need to clear land for agriculture and feed 850 million people. The next points address how this gap can be diminished.

- we should to Close the yield gap

Dear Ashok,

After a long career in the food industry, the observation of concern that comes immediately to mind are the inefficiencies of processing food ingredients and the lack of localized processing. Here in the US we have continued to centralize the processing of commodity crops, gathered over greater distances, and then transformed into fewer ingredients for distribution. Commodities of scale are a great argument for this means of processing and distribution and have been for many years. Our foods are "manufactured", highly preserved and reliant on refrigeration and chemical composition for long shelf storage. Families and people also do not cook at home. Everything is a package and prepared.

I would like to see reversion to traditional practices and an increase in localized production and transformation. Reduction in transportation and storage, and costs to preserve over time (chemical, drying, refrigeration and packaging) with localized business development a plus. This actually goes back to an older way of doing things. Technology has in some ways become miniaturized and we as a society are much smart in regards to food processing and safety. Large food factories for major distribution are aw inspiring. But small well run, microbrewery, bakery, or milling operation can be the centers for communities. I would encourage developing countries to take another look at traditional means of local production with the use of now cheaper technologies.

Another point is distribution. With the advent of container shipping and the TEU we have made world wide distribution more efficient. No that we can get most anything to everyone wherever they might be, how do we now go about distributing foods efficiently and locally. Some of this can be remedied as previously noted through localized production of a region specialty. How do we assist that small producer in getting their product to a world market and bring in those things that a region cannot manufacture. We are ever more interdependent in this world.

These points discuss making better use of what we have already, and a further conversation might be had on growing, crops, land and water. This in conjunction with the topic of food waste. This conversation will continue and has many different angles from which to approach the discussion.

Best Regards,

Richard D. Grabiel

Improve post harvest practices through standardization of post harvest technologies and availability of storage facilities

Adoption of proper processing techniques to produce varieties of product from a food material

Identification, utilization and promotion of underutilized food materials through value addition.

It is necessary to develop such food products that would provide the physiological norms of nutrition for different categories of consumers with minimal consumption of sources of raw materials and other material resources required for their production and logistics. In our University, this is a scientific laboratory. ..... Нужно разработать такие продукты питания, которые бы обеспечивали физиологические нормы питания разных категорий потребителей при минимальном расходе источников сырья и других материальных ресурсов, требуемых для их производства и логистики. В нашем Университете этим занимается научная лаборатория.....

A very good question asked

For ensuring the availability of enough food to all people in the world sustainable and efficient management of food production and distribution is a key.

To reduce food wastage in farm, industry and suplly chain will result in reduction of cost and at the same time availability of more food to people.

For public gatherings, Festivals there is a need to control food wastage by meeting the guest requirement with food prepared, that needs prior attention and effective management.

For reduction of waste the processing food industries need to ensure the higher and safe self life of perishable commodities e.g. beverages, dairy , fruits and vegetables and for that a proper time an temperature conditions through out the supply chain is required.

Thanks a lot Dr Rick, Dr Sarafa, Dr Kiselev and Kirti for your valuable Contribution.
