Food is the most crucial aspects of life and the basic necessity of people. As much as food is essential, its security is also a priority. To enhance livelihood, food security plays an important part which not only affects the thousands of household tables but also enormously affects the whole country.
Food security exists when all people have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Addressing the complexities of food security is the emerging development challenge for the 21st century so that people can have access to the sufficient, safe and nutritious food for their active and healthy lives.
Agriculture development is also considered as a paramount strategy to feed people, reduce poverty and fuel economic growth. By providing the families of poor farmers with the means to develop their crops as well as agri-food activities, living conditions can be improved, and food security can be enhanced.
There are many Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that are dealing with the food security and are addressing its complexity. They are putting greater emphasis on its importance. Many NGOs are working with farmers to encourage more efficient utilization of land to increase farm income and build up food self-sufficiency.
To address the complexities of food security, NGOs are developing partnerships with several international organizations and foundations with the similar aims and objectives to bring awareness not only to the farmers but to a broader community as a whole.
This year, FundsforNGOs is celebrating World Pulses Day with the aim of guiding and providing information to our users about the international donors who are supporting NGOs working in the field of food security with their funding opportunities.
