Growing your own Food

in #foodsecurity3 years ago

I great you all fellow steem members. Hope you all had a splendid Sunday and a blessed one. Today I want to share with you the importance of growing your own food . Today we live in a world where the food production chain has been compromised in so many dimensions . There is rampant food insecurity due to the various fast money making techniques that most farmers implore this days. The usage of overdose fertilizer measurements, that is to say that most farmers do not use recommended dosages of the various pesticides and fertilizers that they use in production.

This turn out to be very dangerous for consumers who buy this products with little or no knowledge of how this dosages were administered on the crops. For example most consumers in Cameroon who eat huckleberry often complain of fertilizer rates that render the vegetables vulnerable to stomach problems. Most Cameroonians no longer eat vergies just from any source or just eating it at all.

I have seen a farmer using a certain chemical to force his tomato fruits to get ripe earlier than the supposed time . This action has lots of disadvantages that the innocent consumer would risk all his life eating it up without a clue. The pre occupation of this farmers is to get the money and the market . They do not consider the health insurance part of the process.

The only way out is to Grow your own Food. Growing your own food entails growing most of those crops that are a necessity to your every day life by yourself. In this way you can best manage and control whatever application rates of whichever fertilizers or chemicals used in your farm.
