Implementing sustainable Initiatives
Hello I am Jimmy Muheebwa. I love wikipedia. It helps me share articles on pertinent issues with colleagues and other scholars on the continent. I will mostly work and post Education for Sustainable Development articles. Take an example when we are dealing with a topic of Food security in homes, we are trying to emphasize that families should grow enough to eat, sell and may be store for the the rainy day! Food security is the availability at all times of adequate food supplies of basic foodstuffs to sustain a steady expansion of food consumption and to offset fluctuations in production and prices. Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Growing fruits like mangoes (Mangifera indica) is such an interesting initiative that stems food security in semi arid countries.

Household food security


Household food security exists when all members, at all times, have access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Individuals who are food secure do not live in hunger or fear of starvation. Food insecurity, on the other hand, is a situation of limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways. Food security incorporates a measure of resilience to future disruption or unavailability of critical food supply due to various risk factors including droughts, shipping disruptions, fuel shortages, economic instability, and wars. In the years 2011-2013, an estimated 842 million people were suffering from chronic hunger.
