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.

    There is no way you can slow down the supply chain without stopping it because it is a high volume supply chain, but you have to shutdown the supply chain to save natural resources. Earth population die one way of another. The time is just not know yet.

    I support rape procreation so we eliminate from the procreation process weak men like Obama and Bardella. 0:43 she still has a feminine face but she is build on a much more robust frame and capable of being rape procreate. Weak and low IQ man should not procreate, if you believe in sexual reproduction which I dont.

    I also disagree with long term relationship
    and marriage. A female procreator should be capable of raising the kids without the help of a man. This way a man like me can reproduce but I can pursuit my personal hobbies because I am not attached to a woman and kids, so I have free time. I hate long term relationship and marriage. Today female is a shitty procreator.

  5. adie on Wed, 6th Mar 2024 12:36 pm 

    Rape procreation works both ways. A female procreator can rape a man that she likes because she is build on a more robust frame. She rape the man until she is pregnant and move out of his life she is pregnant.

  6. eee on Wed, 6th Mar 2024 12:45 pm 

    The law would be redesigned to make sure that men are not responsible monetary for kids and the women since the is a process of rape procreations. If the a female can rape a man, she assume the education if the kid alone without help.

  7. adde on Wed, 6th Mar 2024 12:59 pm 

    Either you have a real capable female procreator or you don’t. Right now on earth, we don’t have a capable female procreator, the one we have is a garbage and she should be discarded as a female procreator.

    It is easier at this point to kill everyone on earth and restart from zero. From my point of view, extract from earth the high IQ men and kill everyone else. Start from zero. No point of trying to fix such a failure as earth.

    You agree with me.

    Right now the earth female is basically highly mentally retarded. She is good for nothing. You cannot fix earth, it is easier at this point to kill everyone on earth and restart from zero.

    The theory of evolution is BS. They have to convince us the biological sciences are real. The duplicate the theory of evolution and applied to truck design. By looking at past truck design. one person could believe that the theory of evolution is real. While they steal natural ressources.

    Look at how the truck transmission evolved and how fast it moved forward. It started with 2 sticks transmission, move to 1 stick transmission and end up with a totally automatic transmission. This happen in a too short period of time to be normal. They gave us this tech so we build cities and then once we are done they push c40 cities concepts on us during the invasions.

    They did the same thing with farm machineries The farm machineries design duplicate the theory of evolutions. It is a psychologically designed prison.

    If you are unable to disable earth calculators, it is guaranteed that everyone will die. If you can disable earth calculators by creating a illusions reality with no rules, no rules means no earth calculators, you will end up in hell. You will lose both way and I will walk over earth cadavers at the ends.

  23. dsee on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 1:31 am 

    I am not sure of that, but if you were somehow able to shutdown earth calculators, this would allow the illusions reality to expands. It means almost everything would become an image without a calculator to control its behavior. You would create a prefect hell from which you might not be able to leave until everyone is dead.

    I hope you have updated information about reality translation that I have.

  24. adei on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 1:38 am 

    I trust that you can create a fence around the reality of illusions if earth calculators were to collapse.

    My house does not belong to me, it belongs to the city I live in. You are really seen as slave on earth and you are exploited for your manual labor. This is why I stopped maintaining my house, it does not belong to me, it belongs to the city. Once everything has come down crashing, you would not be able to rebuild. I am sure will not help you rebuild anything.

    Only the really rich that have money don’t have to do some kind of manual labor otherwise you are exploited for your manual labor.

  26. akdie on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 10:53 am 

    Low birth rate could be explained by the fact that people have finally realized that they are slaves and being exploited for their manual labor. Wise people see this and refuse to make children. Only the stupid people will bring children into this world and offer them as slave to the controllers of earth.

  27. dde on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 10:56 am 

    The reason why earth is a slaves chambers it is because of us. We hate you so much that we want to see all of you suffer and die. We build earth as slave labor camp to torture you to death. Look around you and you will see the full hatred that GOD has for the population of earth.

  28. kdiei on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 11:19 am 

    We created earth in such a way that you would be forced to use some kind of slavery to stay alive. Your slavery system is currently called globalism. With globalism comes your monetary system. You have no idea how much we hate the population of earth.

  29. He was right on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 11:33 am 

    GOD was right, revenge is a psychological healing process and I should enjoy watching all of you suffer and die. He was right on this. See revelation 19.

  30. kdie on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 11:38 am 

    Earth destruction will go on no matter what. Conservation of mass calculator guarantee that.
    You are losing your time with these videos, we have already won, you are too stupid to see it. I want you dead so is GOD. There is no way you can win against us.

    The US does not have a capable Special Operation Forces.

    I am not here to save earth, I am here to collect your cadavers. The thought that one day I will walk over Quebecers and Canadians cadavers is what keep my alive. Very soon you will discover that I mean these words. You stole my right to carry an handgun on my without a license, therefore all earth population must die as a retaliation.

    You would notice that BDSM is mostly something done by Whites. Among other sexual practices in BDSM you have impact play and breath play. You also have knife play.

    Impact play is hitting the bitch: face slapping, tits slapping, punch in the stomach and vagina.

    Breath play is chocking either with hands, blocking the mouth or nose, drowning in water.

    Notice that these are violent sexual fantasies that seem to be done mainly by Whites. What are the reasons being such a psychological programming.

  36. ade on Thu, 7th Mar 2024 8:16 pm 

    You can destroy from the inside the US (see 10:20 below) governmental structure in a hope to install a new leader. I will not come to save US, Québec, Canada or Mexico. I want everyone on earth dead for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me without a license. I will retaliate against earth for denying me personal protection. Total retaliation against the population of earth is not negotiable for me.

    Earth is a slavery camp. You don’t own your house, you rent your house from the city that you live in. The rent to own your house is the yearly municipales taxes. Any wise person that know that will refuse to make babies just to give away in slavery for the rich and controlling elites.

  38. didiue on Fri, 8th Mar 2024 9:14 am 

    You will own nothing and be happy is already a reality on earth and used through the rent you must pay to the cities you live in to keep ownership of your house.

    Low birth rate make sense if you look at it from the point of view that people have relisted that they m are slave and refuse to procreate just to feed the slavery machine so our master don’t have to do a manual labor. The master of earth were trying to hide behind AI so they would not be killed by an enrage crowd.

  40. hatred for all side on Fri, 8th Mar 2024 9:24 am 

    I know it is a slave prison. Most likely I helped designed earth as a slave camp. You see the full hatred the GOD has for the people of earth just by looking at how earth was designed.

    It is becoming more and more obvious that the goal of earth creation is to kill all its population.

  42. edade on Fri, 8th Mar 2024 9:34 am 

    Most likely, if you live on earth it is because you have been judged and sentenced to death. There can be no other explanations.
