Día Mundial de la Alimentación: un tributo a los héroes que llevan la comida de la granja a la mesa

PR Newswire

NUEVA YORK, 16 October 2020

NUEVA YORK, 16 October 2020 /PRNewswire Policy/ — Es más importante que nunca reconocer la necesidad de apoyar a los “héroes alimentarios”: agricultores y trabajadores de toda la cadena de valor que garantizan que los alimentos lleguen de la granja a la mesa, incluso en medio de una crisis sin precedentes como la del COVID-19, aseguró la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO).

Este año el Día Mundial de la Alimentación invita a reflexionar y revivir el aprecio por algo que muchos “dan por sentado y que otros no tienen”, la comida, esencia de la vida y base de culturas y comunidades, y para rendir tributo a todas las personas que participan en el proceso para proveerla alrededor del mundo.

La FAO asegura que preservar el acceso a alimentos inocuos y nutritivos es y seguirá siendo una parte esencial de la respuesta a la pandemia de COVID-19, en particular para las comunidades pobres y vulnerables, que son las más afectadas las crisis económicas resultantes.

Sistemas alimentarios desequilibrados

Según la Organización, en las últimas décadas, el mundo ha logrado avances significativos en la mejora de la productividad agrícola.

Sin embargo, aunque ahora se produce comida más que suficientes para alimentar a todo el mundo, los sistemas alimentarios están desequilibrados. El hambre, la obesidad, la degradación ambiental, la pérdida de la diversidad biológica, la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos y la falta de seguridad para los trabajadores de la cadena alimentaria son solo algunos de los problemas que subrayan este desequilibrio.

Los planes de recuperación de la COVID-19 son una oportunidad para adoptar soluciones innovadoras basadas en evidencias científicas para que los países puedan reconstruir mejor y mejorar los sistemas alimentarios, haciéndolos más resistentes a los impactos, afirma la agencia.

La FAO, que cumple 75 años este año, hace un llamado a la solidaridad mundial para ayudar a todas las poblaciones, y especialmente a las más vulnerables, a recuperarse de la crisis y a hacer que los sistemas alimentarios sean más resistentes y robustos para que puedan resistir la creciente volatilidad y las crisis climáticas, y ofrecer dietas saludables asequibles y sostenibles para todos y medios de vida dignos para los trabajadores del sistema alimentario.

Hacerlo requerirá mejores esquemas de protección social y nuevas oportunidades ofrecidas a través de la digitalización y el comercio electrónico, pero también mediante prácticas agrícolas más sostenibles que preserven los recursos naturales de la Tierra, la salud humana y el clima, afirma la agencia.

El costo de un plato de comida

El director del Programa Mundial de Alimentos, la agencia recién galardonada con el Premio Nobel de la Paz, alertó sobre la gravedad de la situación actual.

“La casa está ardiendo cuando ves que el número de personas que marcha hacia la hambruna ha crecido de 135 millones a 270 millones. Eso es inadmisible y una deshonra para la humanidad. Además de eso 690 millones de personas se van a la cama con hambre cada noche. En un mundo en el que hay 360 billones de riqueza esto es inexcusable”, dijo David Beasley.

Un estudio del Programa Mundial de Alimentos muestra como un plato básico de comida sigue fuera del alcance de millones de personas. Mientras que en el estado de Nueva York una persona gasta un 0,6% de sus ingresos diarios para comprar una comida sencilla, en Sudán del Sur esa misma comida requiere un 186% de los ingresos. Si un neoyorquino pagase ese porcentaje, su comida costaría 393 dólares. De los 20 países donde cuesta más la comida, 17 están en África Subsahariana. Haití ocupa el cuarto lugar de la lista, con el equivalente a 74 dólares en Nueva York por un plato de comida.

El derecho de todos a la alimentación

Para António Guterres, la concesión del Premio Nobel de la Paz de este año al Programa Mundial de Alimentos de las Naciones Unidas reconoce el derecho de todas las personas a la alimentación y la lucha para lograr el “hambre cero”.

“En un mundo de abundancia, es una afrenta grave que cientos de millones se acuesten con hambre cada noche”, expresó el Secretario General de la ONU en un mensaje en video para el Día Mundial.

Agregó que la pandemia de COVID-19 ha intensificado aún más la inseguridad alimentaria a un nivel no visto en décadas.

Unos 130 millones de personas corren el riesgo de ser empujadas al borde de la inanición a finales de este año, lo que se suma a los 690 millones de personas que ya carecen de lo suficiente para comer. Al mismo tiempo, más de 3000 millones de personas no pueden permitirse una dieta saludable.

“Al conmemorar el 75º aniversario de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación, debemos intensificar nuestros esfuerzos para lograr la visión de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Eso significa un futuro en el que todos, en todas partes, tengan acceso a la nutrición que necesitan”, dijo.

Guterres, que el próximo año convocará una Cumbre de Sistemas Alimentarios durante la Asamblea General para inspirar acciones hacia esa visión, aseguró que el mundo ya tiene el conocimiento y la capacidad para crear un mundo más resiliente, equitativo y sostenible.

“Necesitamos hacer que los sistemas alimentarios sean más resistentes a la volatilidad y las crisis climáticas; garantizar dietas sostenibles y saludables para todos y minimizar el desperdicio de alimentos; y construir sistemas alimentarios que proporcionen medios de vida dignos y seguros a los trabajadores”, resaltó el titular de la ONU.

Las acciones que tomar

La FAO recalca que Los países, el sector privado y la sociedad civil deben asegurarse de que los sistemas alimentarios cultiven una variedad de alimentos para nutrir a una población en crecimiento y cuidar el planeta, juntos.

“En este Día Mundial de la Alimentación, asumamos el compromiso de “Crecer, nutrir y preservar. Juntos», concluyó Guterres.

Todos tienen un papel que desempeñar, desde aumentar la demanda general de alimentos nutritivos eligiendo alimentos saludables, hasta no dejar que los hábitos sostenibles se queden en el camino, a pesar de la pandemia y su incertidumbre.

Cerrando la brecha digital

Las tecnologías digitales son clave para transformar la forma en que se producen, procesan, comercializan y consumen los alimentos y para construir sistemas alimentarios más resistentes y sólidos. Tienen el potencial de cerrar la gran brecha digital entre países desarrollados y en desarrollo, ciudades y áreas rurales, hombres y mujeres, jóvenes y mayores. Pero la digitalización es una realidad lejana para más de 3000 millones de personas en el mundo que carecen de acceso a Internet, la mayoría de las cuales vive en zonas rurales y remotas.

Las nuevas tecnologías prometen cambios revolucionarios para los pequeños agricultores. Esto incluye imágenes satelitales, teledetección y aplicaciones móviles y de cadena de bloques con el potencial de optimizar las cadenas alimentarias, aumentar el acceso a alimentos nutritivos, reducir la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, mejorar la gestión del agua, luchar contra plagas y enfermedades, monitorear los bosques o preparar a los agricultores para desastres.

Para la FAO es esencial una formación intensiva para mejorar las habilidades digitales de los agricultores y dar voz a sus necesidades e ideas, así como incentivos para fomentar la producción de alimentos nutritivos y diversos.

UBCF is the title sponsor of Yeley’s car #27 for the Hollywood Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series at the Kansas Speedway this Sunday, October 18. The race can be watched on NBC Sports at 2:30 pm EST.

JJ shared, «I am so thrilled to represent The United Breast Cancer Foundation on my Rick Ware Racing #27 for one of the final elimination events before the Championship race in Phoenix.

Hope is what we all need, especially during such a challenging year for all of us – hope that people want to help each other for the better. Everyone who has been a part of bringing this opportunity to fruition has been directly affected and impacted by breast cancer, so there was a great deal of sensitivity on how to get this done in respect and honor to all.»

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands, Oct. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — There is light at the end of the tunnel as we creep back to a somewhat normal life, albeit carefully, so as not to unleash further closures as parts of the world are now experiencing for a second time. The measures put into place have helped secure the health and welfare of our people here in the Turks & Caicos Islands and the steady stream of visitors fortunate enough to arrive over the past couple of months have been pleasantly surprised at the consistent protocols throughout the businesses on island. The atmosphere and the beautiful, uncrowded beaches make for a very refreshing place to rest and revive your spirit through this time. It is no surprise that real estate inquiries are streaming in and sales are continuing at a regular pace. Last year marked a record year in real estate sales so it’s humbling to compare to those numbers, however, the 3Q graphs for 2020 are indicating a constant and strong balance. It is noteworthy that, of the $147M in pending sales on MLS, we expect $80M of these deals to close out before the end of this year which would bring the projected annual total sales for 2020 to $273M, approximately $10M higher than our 2018 year end sales.

In the pages of this report, we would like to give you a brief update with the new developments that we work closely with as there has been plenty of interest and as construction progresses we look to see completion of some of these homes by next year.

We also want to mention that 78% of our resorts have been open throughout the summer season and the remaining resorts will open in October or November. We currently have American Airlines, Jet Blue, Air Canada, InterCaribbean, Caicos Express as well as several private air flights servicing Providenciales International Airport. Further flights will restart in November with West Jet, British Airways, and Delta Airlines as we look forward to welcoming you back!

Teamsters, UNITE HERE!, Partner With Society Of Saint Andrew to Distribute Food To Those In Need

KISSIMMEE, Fla., Oct. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, volunteers from Teamsters Local Union 385 and UNITE HERE!

KISSIMMEE, Fla., Oct. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, volunteers from Teamsters Local Union 385 and UNITE HERE! Local 737 helped distribute food to families in need as part of a charitable effort run by the Society of Saint Andrew. The food was distributed to hundreds of families at the Seasons Florida Resort in Kissimmee, Fla.

The volunteers were comprised of workers from Teamsters Local 385 and UNITE HERE! Local 737 that were laid off due to the ongoing pandemic.

Two Teamsters from Freeman Decorating, which handles event and convention work at the Disney properties and the convention center, were among those who volunteered for Saturday’s food bank. Richard Cella and Sam Harris have both been laid off since March, but felt it was their duty to help others in need during this difficult time.

Cella, a 17-year member of Local 385 and steward for the drivers at Freeman, has volunteered for four weeks at this food bank. When he heard about the food bank from some of his co-workers, he immediately signed up to help.

«I wasn’t prepared for being laid off, and I know that many of my coworkers weren’t prepared,» Cella said. «So anything I can do for those in need – like this food bank – is a great thing to bring the community together during these challenging times. It’s inspiring to see UNITE HERE! and the Teamsters coming together to help as best we can.»

Harris is a 20-year Teamster and steward for the convention workers that work inside the facilities. He has also volunteered for the food bank for the past four weeks. For Harris, it’s a reminder that life is unpredictable and a strong community that comes together during difficult times can be the key to turning the corner.

«You never know how quickly things can change and we felt that change directly in March,» Harris said. «This is one of those situations that shows you that however comfortable or successful you have become in your career, things can change very quickly. You never know when you could end up in the same situation as those we are trying to help now. This is one of the small things we can do to help people get by for a week or two, because we are all in this together, going through the same thing.»

Mike McElmury, Trustee of Local 385, was not surprised by the ovwhelming turnout each week at the food bank by members that have lost their jobs during the pandemic.

«The members of Local 385 are a tight-knit community – they support each other and stand strong against adversity,» McElmury said. «We are averaging between 25-30 volunteers each week over the last four weeks that the Teamsters have participated in the food bank. Union members know the importance of coming together to help each other when the times are tough. I am proud of these Teamsters who have put these families’ needs ahead of their own.»
