Food Activism was initiated from the year 2012 with the theme “Agricultural Co-operatives key to feeding the World”. This is a purely youth involved Momentum for the development of Knowledge status on Agri-food system, envirionmental issues, climate change with food security. The core vision we defined is the collaborative R&D with different Academic youth erudite for the development and capacity building in order to achieve Sustainable development through integrated study of social, economic and environmental aspects of development with climate change and food security.
Food and Nutritional Security Today’s Necessity Programme was organized by Activists being focused on food security;
i)
Food production, availability,
accessibility, &utilization.
ii)
Stability of food supplies.
These dimensions of food security are
likely to be affected by Biodiversity change. So introducing Activsim with massive participation of youths’, GOs
&NGOs, Health professionals, academia in the Awareness rally with Flash
Mob, Photo and Poster presentation of facts and figures with multidisciplinary
based Talk Programe was primal to the
success.
Awareness programe with SOS mothers’ in the issues of Biodiversity agricultural threat in food
security. Sensitize Programme on “Food
Security intervention; impact of pesticides in environment”. at Lekhnath
Municipality with the youths is the
salient success.
GoN apprises us with ample
encouragement with Letter of Appreciation for the contribution to the
well-being of the community through sustainability-led Food and
Enviromental resilience Programme.
The story of activism was selected
in Success stories of youth related activities within
Climate Change, Agriculture and Biodiversity which was hosted by Local
