Project Name : Stuffed but Starved
Theme Name : Agriculture and Food Security
Food wastage is a major subject of concern of our times. Seeing today‟s youth not realizing the importance of food; compelled us to take this topic. We felt that “Food Security & Food Wastage” is a topic that needs to be discussed on a larger scale. During the process of making this report we found out some problems that a farmer as well as a consumer faces from the production of the grains to the distribution of the grains. We are well aware of the fact that a lot of grains are wasted during the period of transportation. With our solutions to these problems we aim to make the life easier & bring the wastage down to its minimal level.
Problems that we have shown are of major concern and through our model we have tried to depict them along with our solutions as suggestions to eradicate these problems.
Lack of the grain storage space substituted by constructing grain storage farms; farmer suicides can be reduced if financial institutions start lending loans at lesser rates of interest and farmer should be encouraged to develop alternate sources of income such as livestock.
We have also suggested some step to be taken by the government; is to introduce direct foreign investment which if properly implemented will change the bitten face of agricultural sector.
To put our thoughts into action we need to take prompt action. The cost of our suggested amendments is easily implementable if there is political willingness.
Together We Were, Together We Can & Together We Will!!!
