FOOD SECURITY
While food goes to waste in urban areas, there are many underdeveloped areas where people repeatedly face a stark shortage of food which leads to problems like malnutrition, price hikes, and famine. There is a precise uneven distribution of food worldwide. Managing Food Security is one of the most critical issues to be solved under the ambit of Sustainable Development Goals as laid out by the United Nations.
Food prices are reaching all-time highs and the global population is continuing to grow, ensuring food security is a top priority for many governments. Guaranteeing the physical availability of food on a national and global level is a tall order. How can the nutritional and protective benefits of Boron be applied in the food chain to improve security? What we can do to ensure that everyone has enough access to nutritious food?
