By Emilio Guerra Díaz The national crusade against hunger called by President Enrique Peña Nieto has been highly questioned by various actors, sometimes with just reason (based on skepticism because the great dimension of the problem seems to have no solution) or on other occasions with snide attitude (based on “nothing can be done” and negative because it is a government initiative from a party other than the one they are active in or sympathize with). However, from a humanitarian point of view, the national crusade against hunger can be supported in many different ways, from the closest circles of influence that are under our control or to the most distant ones that do not depend on us: Do not waste food , consume only what is necessary, share food, allocate donations to organizations that have experience for several years in the management of food banks, join as volunteers in soup kitchens, support collection and distribution centers and why not support the government initiative. The crusade against hunger has a great ally in philanthropic civil organizations, both for their discreet and constant work, as well as for the volume of the population they serve and the services they provide.
The exemplary effort of Ricardo Bon Echeverría Phone Number List comes to mind in promoting food banks in our country, which currently has an entire network that has been joined by housewives and parents, schools, social leaders, churches that encourage the model to recover and bring food to low-income people or excluded groups. It is worth noting that this model has been very successful in the urban environment. The great challenge is to serve the most marginalized rural areas because it is not about collecting and delivering food, but rather creating the conditions so that the food that the community needs is generated in their places. Also worth highlighting is the network created by Un Kilo de Ayuda and the support of the Solo por Ayudar Foundation created by Lolita Ayala, which mobilizes various donations to support the fight against hunger. It is worth noting that both food banks, despite the fact that there are many of religious inspiration, and these last two cases that we refer to, carry out their work without profit and above all without partisan or religious objectives. They are motivated by humanitarianism and the desire that all Mexicans have all their needs met with dignity. The issue of food has at least the following components to address and is inspired by a community ensuring that it has quality and sufficient food: a) Ensure the availability of food.
During Felipe Calderón's government we experienced the greatest supply crisis of both corn and beans. Imports rose disproportionately. We also experienced the avian flu that increased the price of chicken and eggs and today in Guanajuato another alarm has been raised; The shortage of corn raised the price of tortillas. The government tried to justify itself by pointing out that climate change was already manifesting itself in the crisis in the countryside. Partially this is true because it depends on rainfed sowing, but there is also a need for seeds and natural fertilizers, tractors and threshers, adequate salaries for agricultural workers, etc. b) Develop the infrastructure for food creation. Where there is no suitable soil for food crops, other techniques such as backyard gardening and hydroponics can be supported. These alternatives are not very popular in the view “from above” because it is estimated that the benefit is only family-oriented and production is limited. Also in infrastructure, a greater number of community kitchens can be encouraged where beneficiaries pay for their food with work at the service of the kitchen itself. c) Combat malnutrition and obesity.
