Solutions to Overcome Hunger and Global Warming

Hunger is an internal problem for individuals, groups, regions and even countries. It can be said that hunger is the main source of the collapse of economic stability. It's no secret, some people or countries have experienced hunger crises. Natural disasters and wars are the main indications of famine.

The source of basic needs or needs in this context is food, which is a necessity of life that must be met by everyone. Eating means living, not eating then life will be threatened. Everyone's perception is different in providing food needs, some depend on income for work and some choose to produce their own food sources, meaning they plant and reap.

In this case, hunger is the most crucial problem in life because it has indications of life and death. Some people think that "it is better to be poor in wealth but still able to eat". This gives an indication that the needs of the stomach take precedence over wealth. There are also those who think that with abundant wealth, the difficulty of food sources can be overcome. However, what if we have abundant wealth but cannot buy food needs or in other words food sources are limited or not produced? Perhaps, a ridiculous thought if we say that "only eat treasure".

The emergence of innovation about the ease of human performance in producing sources of food needs, which is a factual transformation by applying advances in science and technology. But the problem in this case is a person's real action to be able to produce their own food sources, technology and knowledge are only media to help humans.

Life is simple but we can eat, even though we don't have supporting factors such as technology and other media, we actually have a chance to survive and get out of hunger problems. Many types of plants in our environment that can produce food, although sometimes some people think it's trivial but actually how to produce food is simple.

Of the many plants, there are plants that are most familiar to the public. In Latin "Manihot Esculenta" or we are often familiar with "cassava". Cassava is an environmentally friendly plant, almost every region or country has this plant. Like rice, cassava contains carbohydrates and is suitable for consumption by everyone.

The planting and maintenance process is relatively simple without incurring large costs and energy. Some residents, especially in the village, plant this plant in the yard of the house so that many cassava plants decorate the yard area of ​​the house. Cassava can also be used as a production material, the processing of cassava varies, most of the cassava is processed into chips.

Cassava can be said as a substitute for rice because of its carbohydrate content, when basic needs increase due to inflation, cassava can be used as the main choice to meet food needs.

Apart from being an ingredient for household food needs, we must also realize that the earth is currently experiencing problems. The occurrence of global warming, one of the causes is the lack of plants on earth as a result of irresponsible human actions. Continuous felling of trees without afforestation. The earth is getting hotter and all of humanity is feeling the effects.

Just imagine, if we all started planting plants in our yards, apart from being able to meet the needs of food sources, we have also been involved in overcoming the problems of the earth and the world. Cassava can be an alternative to overcome hunger and global warming.

Every problem has a solution. But often as humans, we only see the value and price without taking into account the benefits. Only real action then life will change.
