Feeding the Earth

The Sustainable Development Goal 2 - Zero Hunger - was set in 2015 to tackle rising undernourishment. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this challenge. Climate Change threatens food production and quality. WHYFARM, an NGO that uses creative methods to engage young people in agriculture, was founded in 2015 in Siparia, Trinidad and Tobago. It teaches traditional farming techniques that protect the environment and human health, and technologies that optimize production to establish careers in the field and promote food security.

Forest In The Stomach

Food is vital for survival, so making money of it comes with a sweet feeling knowing one can pay bills easily. The rural livelihood is always linked to the forest, putting the forest at the expense of risk. Should we eat at the forest's expense? Or, should the forest be preserved while the people starve? This is the current situation that has put the Indigenous people of Onigambari forest reserve communities in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, in a dilemma over the past years of their existence.

Forest in the stomach is about actions that balance both forest and farming to coexist together in an environmentally sustainable manner.
