The Mystery of Food Politics and It’s Proposed Extrication

The Mystery of Food Politics and It’s Proposed Extrication thumbnail

Wars and cross border conflicts are known to stifle food supply mechanisms and impact production on a large scale. Ukraine being foremost exporter maize, oilseeds, wheat among other food commodities stands at an all time high supply risk of essential supplies. Food, famines and farming are conspicuously deeply connected to politics and governance. All policies claim to be designed in way that will assure the end of hunger, enhance nutritional values, ensure food security and promote sustainable agriculture in societies but thought, vision and policy implementation often don’t align with the elemental needs of commoners. In academics, Food Politics isn’t a new subject – it attempts to holistically study governmental and institutional policies that comprise of regulations, control, production, distribution and consumption of food. In recent years, there has been wide scale planning on a gamut of factors like usage of pesticides, Genetically Modified Crops and Biofuels. Climate Change also stands as a challenge to secure future food security.

Unfavourable climactic conditions are detrimental to food production owing to unpredictable weather, natural calamities and numerous environmental hazards cause further damage. In 2022, number of people affected by worldwide food insecurity rose from 135 million in 53 countries in 2019 to 345 million in 82 countries. Climate change continues to remain a challenge and its ill effects can be seen in  health of citizens and livelihoods of small farmers. In the event of floods and droughts, weaker sections of the society get deprived of adequate nutrition. Small farmers struggle to earn enough money to pay for seeds, fertilizers and other farming essentials. Statistics indicate that while many countries especially in the EU as well as England have shown remarkable progress in this sphere, developed economies like the US and China fail to do enough to align themselves with the positive transformation. Many developing economies still find themselves doddering in the domain; albeit the adaption of renewable energy sources and solar energy.

In India, the farmer’s agitations that begun in 2020, seem once more on the flare-up. Farmers from certain North Indian States are demanding legal guarantees of a minimum support price (MSP), which is an assurance for the farming community and includes waivers of farm loans; and a demand to withdraw certain policies that go against the interest of farmers. Put simply MSP is the cost which government purchases crops from farmers, promising farmers a fixed income for their produce even if markets go bit volatile. Benefits to farmers are always a pivotal focal point in politics – as we see Donald Trump talking about farmer welfare in almost each of his speeches.

The current protestors allege that though India’s central Government did form a committee to address farming issues, it failed to include representatives from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana all three states being major grain producers. They further allege that the committee has hardly made any fruitful progress on MSP. Farmers continue bearing with a gamut of problems and crop failures cause huge debts forcing many farmers to even end their lives. Farmers want he demand is for the MSP to be fixed at least fifty percent higher than production cost of the crop. Farmers are wary of the government’s planned privatization of the electricity sector which will mean a hike in bills, adding to their woes. Many Indian state governments provide subsidized electricity to farmers, which help keeping key costs in control. There’s also a demand of compensating farmers who lost their lives in 2020-2021 protests.

Government policy influences the price around food’s production, its distribution and availability. Policies also ensure safety of the food supply domestically and internationally. On a domestic scale, food policy effort affects farmers, wholesale traders, food processors, retailers and end users. Commodity crops like wheat, rice, corn and soy are mostly central to policy making in agriculture. India’s Niti (National Institution for Transforming India) works as the top public policy think tank of the Government. Professor Ramesh Chand member of NITI Aayog and a Union Minister of State is a passionate farmer himself. He shares snippets of his study entitled ‘From Green Revolution to Amrit Kaal’ that he and Jaspal Singh, an agricultural consultant have authored. Professor Chand’s study reveals that MSP for farm produce is vital to safeguard against unfair competitiveness an malpractice in agri markets. Chand and Singh argue that in periods of glut MSP becomes important and as a measuring sustem it must not cause distortions in market signals and incentives – stating that India must use the two instruments of procurement and price deficiency payment. Both Chand and Singh accept that public procurement ought to be linked to the quantity required for the public distribution system, stability in price and protecting strategic stocks.

MSP in mandated crops should be realized via price deficiency payment.   When MSP is higher than exportable price and implemented by a set procurement system then export without subsidy is impossible and many countries see this directly as a violation of the WTO agreement. In recent times India has projecting itself as the pioneer of the Millet revolution. Though bit highly priced the grain has been projected as a crop that is salubrious and can take care of nutritional deficiencies among adults and children.

Dr. Edmond Fernandes-  Director, Edward & Cynthia Institute of Public Health, India opines that though the present government has taken steps needed to fix the problem of malnutrition through various schemes like Poshan Abhiyan, Poshan Maa and other local initiatives. However, it would be wise to address the problem through a cross sectoral perspective as cascading risks is impacting the concerns around food security and healthy nutrition. And what remains critical is to have these solutions reaching the last mile communities.

The National Institute of Nutrition has given many viable alternatives of low-cost energy rich diet which can address the problems of nourishment and immunity boosters, people need common and easy solutions, not complex systems and sophisticated mechanisms.               Domestic and international food markets look strongly integrated and in the face of the war, is India playing a vital enough role in securing global food supply chains?

Dr. Fernandes strongly believes that India has always historically played a vital role in global food supply chains and in the midst of war, and a rapidly proliferating socio-economic condition, the onus will fall back on nations like India to play big brother during a global food crisis or shortfall too.

The doctor makes a pertinent point when he says that though surveys help understand the problem, they don’t necessarily help figure out solutions which are usually complex and calls for special talents. “Governments need to tap into talented individuals and not political loyalists,” concludes the young specialist.

Food insecurity can become an increasing problem in the times to come. While food prices are likely to rise due to climate change and a growing world population, nutritious food is likely to become unattainable for more and more people. World statistics reveal that almost 3 billion people are affected by food insecurity and malnutrition quietly continues to affect people in myriad ways – which one may not even be aware of. While the saga of protests, promises and new deliberations continue, the world must be ready to deal with food shortages, price hikes as world population will continue growing and supplies may either be inadequate or substandard in quality – if systems don’t deploy robust mechanisms to extricate out the problems that threaten global food chains and supplies.

    In the world of illusion you can have any type of body shape you can thing of. So it is importante to destroy the concept of standard human body if we want to be able to function in the world of illusions.

  2. adei on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 9:54 pm 

    Most likely only a few people will be able to move into the world of illusions. Most people wont be able to get rid of their fears of death This is just a guess from meé

  3. addie on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 10:04 pm 

    I also think that in the world of illusions you are allowed a great flexibility into the sexual acts that can bring you into orgasms. I think this is the goal of BDSM, destroy the standard conception of sex or the boring missionary position.

  4. addie on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 10:10 pm 

    Only a few people will move into the world of illusions. You need the IQ needed to understand the world of illusions and its working principles. If you don’t have the IQ needed most likely will stay on earth.

  5. adei on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 10:22 pm 

    In the world of illusions there is not standard body type. So a transgender with boobs and a penis is allowed. You have to be able to deal with that.

  6. ddesm on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 10:34 pm 

    What I just said make sense. The flesh body is probably not adapted to the world of illusions, a new vehicle will be needed. I have no idea what it will be. Few people will be able to make the transition I think. I believe you need a certain IQ to move into the world of illusions.

  7. adie on Sun, 3rd Mar 2024 11:47 pm 

    I presume also that you must be able to deal with horror illusions and violent illusions.
    Someone want to know what is my opinions about the transition path. The transition path will probably followed my body update. I am really not sure of that.

    Does the reality of illusions comes with a lot of physical pain, my guess will be yes. If the reality of illusions comes with better orgasms it probably come with greater pain. I think I am not interested.

  13. what about my reality on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 2:58 am 

    What about a reality of illusions where I killed everyone on earth and I am the sole survivor. The grocery stores are still fully packed, gas station that are still opened even if I am the last survivor, hardware stores are still opened, what about this reality. Can we make this happen.

  14. aldie on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 3:04 am 

    Yes bitch we killed everyone on earth. Once in a while you send me a fuck toy already sexually train. What about engineering books are they available so I can study other fields. I want everyone death on earth, this would be my reality of illusions. I want them death for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me without a license. I want all of them dead.

    Ca pourrait se faire. Tu es sure de ca. J’ai pas confie en toi bitch.

  15. ade on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:10 am 

    Kill everyone on earth now bitch.You are wasting my time.

  16. aeide on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:16 am 

    I don’t need that kind of garbage push down my throat kill everyone on earth now bitch, so you can give me their cadavers. That will our reality of illusions: the death of everyone of earth.

  17. ada on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:23 am 

    I found a reality of illusions that I like. You kill everyone on earth and I am the last survivor but I still have electricity, water, foods, gaz, some importants retail store are opened. This could work for me. Don’t forget math, chemistry and engineering books at still available.

  18. addde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:26 am 

    In my reality of illusions, there is a lot of guns and firearms. They are everywhere.

  19. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:29 am 

    Can we have a reality of illusion with maths equation included. Can we have maths equations flying in the sky,

  20. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 8:36 am 

    We can have a reality of illusions, instead of clouds I would see mathematical equations. chemistry formula, and other scientific knowledge. This could work for me. Cadavers a need a lot of it. Cadavers will be the horrors part of the illusions. that could workk for me.

  21. addd on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 10:53 am 

    I will get your cadavers delivered to me for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me without a license.

  22. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 11:06 am 

    In theory if earth is a reality of illusions, your cadavers can be delivered to me as there are no rule in a reality of illusions. I am starting to like this idean of reality of illusions. I am starting to see the full potential of this concept.

  23. adie on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 11:11 am 

    Having your cadavers deliver to me is in fact an horror illusion. So I must be able to deal with horror illusions and murder illusions. Now I start to see the full potential of this concept.

  24. adeie on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 11:15 am 

    I guess wanting everyone death so I can be the sole survivor on earth is also an reality of illusions. Having your cadaver delivered to me is an horror illusions.

  25. addie on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 11:22 am 

    You cadavers will be delivered to me. How are you going to be killed inside my horror illusions. Kill by dismemberment. Kill by decapitation, kill by drowning.

  26. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 11:24 am 

    I think I understand what they were trying to tell me, you should enjoy killing them for what they did to you

  27. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 12:47 pm 

    I will have to look at BDSM porn more. It has changed a lot since the last 5 years. I have a limited view of BDSM. Dominatrix pegging is about telling your that your can experience pleasure from the inside of you body as oppose to the outside as a masturbation does. It is a destruction of the whole standard flesh body. I will have to endure prolong erection just to get the info out.

    It looks like earth is a prison to make you believe your flesh body is real.

  28. add on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 12:49 pm 

    I am not sure that an illusions reality is what I really want, but apparently I might not have a choice.

  29. adde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 1:11 pm 

    I am still not a fan of a reality of illusions. I want to be the sole survivor on earth but I still want gas station open but empty of people, grocery stores open but empty of people, and so. I guess I will have to use the reality of illusions to kill everyone on earth, so I can get what I really wants.

  30. kadie on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 1:15 pm 

    And I still want to kill everyone on earth for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me without a license. Retribution against earth population is important to me. I guess I will have to use the horror illusions to kill earth populations.

  31. eee on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 1:25 pm 

    I am not a fan of sexual and horror illusions.
    I am willing to use both I am able to kill all the earth population with them and get what I want, being the sole survivor on earth.

    The parasite cannot survive on its own. It does not have the IQ, physical strength and other needed qualities to stay alive on its own. The parasite sell its freedom to another entity so it will take care of them, in the case of earth it would be national and provincial governments.

    Then my freedom to own an handgun without an license is crushed. All my freedoms are crushed down by parasites.

    Quand je pense que certain d’autre vous utilise mes commentaires pour créer une réalité à illusions. La majorité d’autres vous seriez mieux de mourir éternellement dans un corps de chair. Vous ne savez pas d’en quoi vous vous embarquez.

  36. dde on Mon, 4th Mar 2024 7:36 pm 

    Vous voulez vous engagez dans une reality d’illusions ou la seule façon d’avoir un orgasme sexual est a travers la douleur, la soumission ou la dominations. Vous voulez vous engagez dans une réalité à illusions ou la seul façon de se sentir en vie est à travers le meurtre ou la mort. Choisissiez ma mort éternelle vous ne le regretterez pas.

    What is important to comprehend is that when the ascending individual’s lightbody is directly connected to the Cosmic Spirit Body, this is the ultimate ascension initiation that opens the Cosminya Hall of Records, which holds the divine perfection of the organic creation’s blueprint records in the Natural Laws of God. And when initiated into this Universal Elaysian coded frequency set, all of that which is artificial and inorganic to the unique consciousness body and spirit family begins to purge and dissolve within all of the holographic instruction sets of the core lightbody structure, resetting the Tree of Life to organic living consciousness streams. The accumulated superimposed layers of karmic miasma, shadow, Black Goo, artificial intelligence machinery, implants, suppressor entities, clones and antichrist weaponry – will cease to exist in the blueprint of that ascending individual. Who is then aligned with the organic creator’s perfected blueprint as the Krystal Tree of Life as it was originally created for them by God. They are freed from the burdens of karmic overlays and miasmatic records that had been accumulated from their Stations of Identity in all timelines that were further manipulated into mind control consciousness slavery by the invading species.

    You cannot save earth. Earth calculators will kill everyone. Earth calculators are like a fence build around the reality of illusions to contain it. We just going to retaliate against earth for make me beg for personal protections.

    Prepare the evacuation plan or the bubble of survival.

  47. adei on Tue, 5th Mar 2024 9:52 pm 

    It looks like earth calculators are holding tight and are not showing any signs of collapse. The reality of illusions will be limited to the internet, internet videos and fake people mostly. The matrix of solid is strong and is not showing any signs of failure. The fence around the matrix of illusions is health.

    Globalism has created supply chain that work only at high production volume. Let’s say you were able to kill a lot of them. your production supply chain will shut down because earth is does not have low volume supply chain. I will walk over your cadaver one way or another. You took away my right to carry an handgun on me without a license, everyone on earth die because of that.
