Food to feed 5 billion people, or if you prefer the entire population of the planet? ? However, a question comes to mind, why then, eight hundred million land they suffer from deprivation of food and die of starvation? !
World hunger is present since the time of prehistory and likely to remain so for centuries one wonders why
The majority of Americans have 3600 calories per day, on the other hand Europe follows closely with 3500 calories a day. That's huge when you think of all that is to get rid of every meal. Africa can digest today that 1700 to 2050 calories a day. Besides their diet is not as varied and nutritious than ours. In fact, several residents Africans eat only the contents of bins and dried vegetables from the sun.
On average, 75/100 of the hungry live in the countryside (?), 25/100 are city dwellers who live in slums in major cities. A slum is defined, a village where houses are built on garbage. People who live there have to find something to eat in the mountains of waste. The waste is a rich dinner of a poor!

Christian departs on a magnificent bridge that Marc fun to pass without its front wheel hits the ground.
The first kilometers will run on frozen ground, in a sublime landscape of pastures benches covered with mist. These tables permanent open Raphy of appetite, which leaves her bag chops and sausage at the first break. To reheat, Tassinet draws hundreds of commas on the floor with the rear wheel of his FIU. But the former crossman lack of will file the ground 50 metres from the pub, surprised by a shirking his backyard train on the cold asphalt.
 The first official meal provides an insight into what will be the menus for three days: meats, sausages, ham, potatoes and cheese and rocco that stain. The Thousand Rivers could also be called the Hundred Thousand Calories. Fortunately, the roads in the afternoon are rolling. For entertainment, Reply goes down with a precision Swiss all in a stream of twenty inches wide. Nearly four hours after the bikers, the two quadeurs Olivier Thierry and join the end of the stage.

Close to displease the "self-righteous" on both sides, Jerome River, aged 42, deputy UMP Nice, dares to say out loud what many elected officials, and French, thinking to themselves: it is time to end , right, with the "cordon sanitaire" placed on the FN.

 Industrial pollution has transformed the river, which runs into Delhi dump. But the urgency and mismanagement of the authorities prevented any rescue plan to be effective, accuses The Times of India.
Nerone pinçait his zither and recite verses while Rome was burning. The government of Delhi and the Delhi Jal Board [responsible for the treatment and distribution of drinking water in the National Capital Territory of Delhi] prefer for their wasting their time in court battles - relating to the deadline for cleaning the Yamuna - while this tributary of the Ganges River is dying. The rivers are natural places to live. And the Yamuna, one of the seven sacred rivers of India, not only departed from that rule. Its waters were clean and sheltered fauna and flora. Today, despite a very strong cultural tradition that the rivers should be revered as deities, the Yamuna is dying.
This long river of 1,370 km is one of the dirtiest in the world. And Delhi, spilling its garbage, sewage, industrial residues, animal carcasses and other debris, is responsible for 57% of such pollution. The dirty water is rarely retired, they are becoming more toxic. As the Yamuna remains relatively static nine months out of twelve, waste stagnated in water for long periods instead of being scattered, causing groundwater pollution in surrounding areas. Excluding non-recycled waste produced by homes illegally or not on the banks of the river. Since 1993, the Supreme Court has issued several guidelines calling on the governments of the Territory of Delhi and the state of Haryana to prevent industrial effluents to be discharged into the Yamuna. |
