How to ensure food security

The obvious solution

- increase the food production

- slow down the increase in population

Other significant solution

- maximum food utilization

- minimum wastage of food

Wastage can be due to food items being spoiled because of careless handling, poor storage condition, excessive peeling, and trimming. Nutrients can be lost because of improper food preparation and cooking or the plate waste because of lack sensory appeal ( bland, undercooked, over-seasoned, or overcooked).

Each person handling food has in his hands the capacity to contribute and make food available where and when it is needed.
