Food And Climate Change.



“Agriculture and fisheries are highly dependent on specific climate conditions. Trying to understand the overall effect of climate change on our food supply can be difficult. Increases in temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) can be beneficial for some crops in some places. But to realize these benefits, nutrient levels, soil moisture, water availability, and other conditions must also be met”.



Because the way we perform photosynthesis is stopped or poorly treated, changing the natural process that takes place some time, affecting animals and humans, Last year, WFP assisted tens of millions of people in 56 country clubs to Enhance Their resilience to climate-related risks.This is mostly done through food and cash-based safety nets - These let food insecure communities invest in creating assets and infrastructure, rehabilitate degraded lands and reforest and transform landscapes. MERET in Ethiopia, is one very successful example”.




"May Warmer temperatures make many crops grow more quickly, but warmer temperatures reduce yields Could Also". Creating a establilidad not in crop development, remaining unaware that they can grow food classes with both the variation of climate change, affecting the quality and production, causing the loss of thousands of crops. "There are several factors That Contribute to food's climate impact, including: how low on the food chain it is, how much energy is used to produce it (and Whether the food is grown organically or with chemical inputs), and how far it has to travel before it gets to the table ".


Food Disorder



"You may wonder what are the causes of these eating disorders, it actually says it is due to a combination of factors, whether psychological, familial, genetic, environmental and social. Most common disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, body image, preoccupation with weight and dieting. "I have tried different ways to treat people who suffer from a problem about your eating, these are the main issues to get to cause great bodily problems.



Many as I said before are problems caused by our mind, by the psychological part that being affected, directly attacking our way of behave with our physical needs. Many children are forced to consume certain types of food you do not like, creating in traumas in their eating, "eating disorders include the presence of negative thoughts and feelings and self-criticism on body weight and food and eating habits that interfere with normal body function and everyday activities "



Many of these people need professional help where they work the problem, as this can affect all human systems, as these are caused either by the family, study, friends, too biological, "often the problem disappears spontaneously by the own pressure from the peer group. Eating selectively becomes really a problem if the person is sick, and this happens very rarely. "






Urband Gardens.



"During World War II in the U.S. begins to use this type of culture in cities, and are come to consume up to 40% of food from urban gardens." That's why lately in the cities has been implemented this activity, we noticed that now wear green houses because they contain incredible gardens on balconies and in other places by maintaining a healthy place.



It is implemented as an effective alternative to shopping in supermarkets. Besides being a way in which we treat ourselves consume products, so we can use spaces in the city to develop sustainable consumption, maintaining a health check by ourselves, also keeping us busy with stable mentalemente and creative activity.

Genetically Modified Foods.



Initially the food goes through a process of transformation in this new century. Undergoes a change in the DNA, their genes undergo a “process of alteration that increases the ability to grow certain crops with higher yields as a way to help fight hunger” (Freedman, 2009). But we know that this process, although it is beneficial, it can have consequences to our body.Problems like such as allergies to certain substances that can be harmful depending on the organism (Grueso, 2009)”.





The GMF process begins with a set of genetic observation of certain products in the initial phase as plants and animals, “producing food with increased resistance to harmful factors such as extreme environmental conditions, insects and pesticides, among others (Grueso, 2009)”. These include food security, in trying to keep food in certain health conditions. Creating, plus a lot of food, a good distribution.
