Promoting Healthy Living Mississippi Organics TOP Priorities
Global Food Security -- In countries with already high food import bills, recent food price volatility in the global market has heightened instability.
Fight Global Malnutrition -- High food prices force poor households to reduce food consumption, leading to malnutrition, wasting, and stunting.
Building Emerging Industries -- Nations have sought to stimulate food production in countries that have sufficient water and irrigable land, to support the growing population. Countries have generally acquired land and provided the capital to increase food production using the host countries natural resources.
Industrial Crop Strategies -- Increasing agricultural productivity is a pillar of the food-security strategy. Higher productivity can increase the purchasing power of the rural poor, increase foreign-exchange earnings, and reduce import dependence.
Promote Healthy Lifestyles -- Organic products are grown without the use of harmful pesticides, fungicides, and chemical fertilizers.
