Food Security will improve the health of humans

 

Food is a source of energy that has been gifted by nature to all the creatures on the earth. However, food is not adequately distributed all over the earth. However, inadequate food will lead to deficiencies, obesity and other health issues. So, to resolve this issue, the UN has presented the route to the food initiative. The UN agencies are taking the initiative to offer healthy food for every citizen in Africa.

Food systems in Kenya are making effort to provide a nutritional diet and healthy food for all the citizens. The food system is a vital part of any country, and it is the outcome of natural resources, economic growth and other socio-cultural factors. There has been a close relationship between optimum climate and the health of the human body. The climate changes can affect the food supply and even price rise of food and also affect the healthy food for the population.



The poor quality of children's diet is the major point of all types of malnutrition and also affects the children from surviving. The food systems are the public welfare policy decision for any government or country. These food systems are important for the type of food to eat and current food systems. However, reducing food loss helps to increase the amount of food reaching the market and reducing wastage of cooked food can lead to the food system being more sustainable.

However, food security remains a vital issue in developing countries like Kenya. The food security bill in Kenya is improving at a slow rate and COvid-19 has a lead decline in food production. The right to food is a universal human right but it is not equally distributed in the world. The African countries are facing a daily crisis of food and nutrition deficiency.  So, the right to food in Kenya's constitution is essential and has been part of the constitution to provide food to its population.

 The UN also suggested that the government should make provisions for food safety and hygiene to avoid all types of diseases, particularly in children. The government should take steps to restrict the usage of pesticides in Kenya against sufficient food. Excessive usage of pesticides will prevent the production of food and leads to various problems for people. To solve this issue, UN agencies have provided Hunger relief in Africa, and Kenya and offered food for all.

 As per the Food security bill, there are four pillars of food security access, availability, utilization and stability. The availability of sufficient food through domestic production is a part of food security. The food accessibility by individuals for a nutritious diet is right for all. However, utilization of food through sufficient diet, clean water and health care to meet various needs. Thus, food rights in Kenya are vital for offering sufficient and healthy food. All the households should receive adequate food to digest and improve their health.

However, recent years have seen a stagnation in agricultural productivity...

Barriers to Free Moving of Food in Kenya

Image
  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. Bec...
