Enough food for seven billion? Pantry at the Tollwood

Since last weekend the Tollwood Sommerfestial in the Olympic Park in Munich in full swing. Until 24.07.2012, this event is open and that their motto of "Great Expectations" can be interpreted in many different ways, we have been trying to clarify in our previous coverage of the Toll Wood (see "Current Highlights" on the top right of this page) . Looking at the issue of world food, so there for us in the developed countries to open our refrigerator while permanent "bright prospects", but the food goes on the planet for seven billion? This question goes to the pantry in the middle of Tollwood summer festivals.
The pantry would open new perspectives for a world of hunger and disposable society. The walk-in chamber informs visitors about global food security, consumerism and organic farming. On the walls hang "blooming garden", the jars on the shelves are a reflection of the richness and variety of food that the earth offers us. But a second glance revealed: This pantry is filled not long ago for all so lush.
How can seven billion people every day enough? While this country, half of all food - eleven million tons per year in Germany alone - in the waste lands elsewhere starve ten million people, a billion goes to bed with empty stomachs. In 2012, the first year of the UN Decade of Nutrition, the world is still divided between hunger and abundance. The storehouse of natural land and Tollwood therefore invites a change in perspective and shows how everyone can be satisfied without exceeding the ecological limits of our planet.
One thing is clear: At a recent nutrition awareness, an appreciative handling of food, more organic farming and a more equitable distribution is no other way.
