World Food Day 2011: For a Sustainable and Healthy Food Consumption (11 Oct 2011)

10/11/2011

0 Comments

 
World Food Day, October 16th, is a worldwide event designed to increase awareness, understanding and active engagement in achieving food price stability and consumption sustainability. In line with this global campaign, Enrich’ s “Promoting healthy and sustainable food consumption” Youth Forum hopes to shed some light on how an individual’s choice of food and his/her consumption pattern could impact the entire food network as well as the livelihoods of many others – particularly the growers and producers of food. Knowing where the food we eat actually comes from could give us an idea on how food purchasing and allocation take place, helping us get a more accurate picture of food justice – who gets fed, what is accessible to what population group, how affordable certain types of food is, etc. 


With hunger plaguing various countries, particularly the least-developed nations, around the world, the issues of food justice have never been more critical. Furthermore, knowledge of food source and nutrition could enable us to be wiser with what we choose to eat. As junk food is establishing itself as an easy and fast alternative to the traditional home-cooked, family-styled meal amid this fast-paced society, attention must also be paid on its short- and long-term negative effects on our health and well-being. With movements such as the Slow Food Movements taking place all over the world to counteract the spread of fast food and to raise awareness on food source, preparation and distribution, this Youth Forum hopes to create a similar platform for our youths to share and showcase their knowledge of local food and agriculture while also exposing to new information and campaigns on food security and justice presented by our experts.   

The project has the following objectives:
-          To raise awareness among youth on hunger problems in the world and in Cambodia
-          To encourage youth to eat healthy food and adapt sustainable food consumption habits
-          To encourage youth to save food
-          To promote healthy local food products

500 participants took park in this lively event which include many activities such as presentation of research finding from online survey, Presentation from guest speakers, Food Quiz, Youth’s self reflection on food consumption and commitment to consume healthy food thoughtfully, Live music performance, Lucky Draw,  and Healthy food exhibition
