All Individual Has The Right To Food And We Should Work To Achieve This Goal

Statistics tell us that a big chunk of the human population is deprived of their basic right to food. This is unacceptable in a civilized world and all of our mottoes should be to ensure food security to each individual. All the politicians in their regime try to make sure that basic rights are met by their citizens and Kenya is not any different. We find that the Food Security Bill in Kenya pledges to ensure that there should be freedom from hunger and everyone should have access to adequate food of acceptable quality. The chronic food insecurity problem should be put to an end.



It is a known fact that industrial farming has not been able to end the food insecurity problem, so now the time had come to do the thing in some other way to achieve harmony between agriculture and food security latest way to be used is agroecology where, food availability, livelihood, and ecological balance are well maintained.

People from all kinds of backgrounds have joined Route to Food initiative to work towards this goal of achieving zero tolerance to hunger.

Barriers to Free Moving of Food in Kenya

  It should be highlighted that one of the most important problems facing the modern world is Agriculture and Food Security .    By supplying food to locations where people lack access to it, organisations like the World Health Organization and United Nations work to alleviate this issue. It is important to emphasise that the way food is distributed throughout the world, rather than the quantity of items accessible to nations, is the root of the problem.    In Kenya, some significant barriers to route to food initiative are:   First, a basic reason why diverse population groups experience food insecurity is weak infrastructure. It is challenging to carry food to people in some areas of the nation due to poor road conditions. Due to potholes, several parts of the nation are almost inaccessible. Short-lived products are particularly affected by this problem.   Another obstacle to efficient food distribution is political instability. Because of the lack of safety, food s
