  The dangers of climate change are well established but action has been mired in economic and political arguments, given its effects are diverse and global, there is no longer time to wait for action. Sir David King, the former U.K. chief scientific adviser, and current leader of Independent Sage have launched an international advisory group of leading climate experts with a program to mitigate the consequences of climate change through emissions reduction, greenhouse gas removal, and climate repair. The Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG) seeks to provide independent expert advice and guidance to global leaders as they seek further commitments and actions to combat the climate crisis. Open to politicians, advisors and most importantly the public, the Group wants to change the way we look at the climate crisis. Speaking before the official launch on 23rd June King said, “We’re looking at a  series of disastrous events over the next few decades. Our objective is to get emissi...

  The Paradox of the Indian Healthcare Sector For a rustic that prides itself on being a welfare kingdom that appears after its many terrible and underprivileged residents, India spends highly much less on healthcare as a per cent of GDP or Gross Domestic Product than different growing and advanced international locations. Indeed, India is among most of the international locations with the lowest spending consistent with individuals via way of means of the authorities on healthcare and searching after the unwell and needy. Thus, it isn't sudden that India has one of the maximum quotes of dangerous and unwell human beings, which make contributions immediately to the lack of efficient capacities of such human beings. Economists regularly refer to what's called human capital or the tangible and intangible profits from efficient residents in which such residents who're nicely knowledgeable and wholesome regularly cause better increase quotes for the international lo...

  " Many people in the world today are not starving because there is an inherent inability to produce food, they are starving because they are caught in the middle of political fights and blockades that have been used as weapons. "                                                       Food politics   is a term that encompasses not only  food policy  and legislation, but all aspects of the production, control,  regulation ,  inspection ,  distribution  and  consumption  of commercially grown, and even sometimes home-grown,  food . The commercial aspects of food production are affected by  ethical ,  cultural , and  health  concerns, as well as  environmental  concerns about  farming  and  agricultural  practices and  retailing  methods.

  Food is our common ground, a universal experience - James Beard   Hello my lovely readers, welcome to my love story. I must tell you it's not like your usual love stories, but I am sure that you have already heard this line so many times that you already have guessed how the story is going to unfold. But trust me, this is not a boy meets a girl story, instead, this is a story of a girl finding happiness in the most basic requirement, i.e., FOOD. Food and human love is not so different to me. They both look so simple, sound pleasant but they are so complicated in reality that one step wrong and you are out of the game, and they both require lots of effort and understanding. Now, I am no chef, I can barely cook, but, all the chefs be it home-cooks, pros, or cooking for mere survival, know what I am talking about.    I may not know a lot about cooking though scrolling Zomato and Swiggy and filling my YouTube feed with cooking videos is my one serious hobby. Ho...

  “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say that you did not know”   Sex Trafficking can sound like a crime which is not a part of this world, because how can humanity betrays someone like that. A lot of us ordinary people might have heard a case or two but we never came across to a situation in reality and thus we live in denial that such a barbaric activity is happening among us and is done by some monsters who still have the nerve to call themselves humans. When I first came across the idea of writing about this topic, I was clueless, not academically because we all have at some point of time heard about it, but rather emotionally. I admit that no amount of research or factual knowledge can help me feel the pain of the victims. However, I still read a bunch of blogs and articles and I was speechless of the figures that I came across to. Those never-ending figures made me shiver, the geographical locations mentioned made me realize that just how close...

  In today's world where children are supposed to be the foundation of the future world, their own foundation has been shaken up because of the abuses they face in those very years when they were suppose to be carefree and friendly and loving. Child abuse is not just a crime at that moment, its a permanent scar that is given to them at such a tender age, where it complicates their beliefs and make them live with a burden, which is not their fault, for the rest of their life. Well the technical definition of child abuse is "When a parent or a caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation and emotional abuse." To give you all just an example of how cruel it could be let me take you to 1860, when a key paper gathered together a series of 32 such cases, of which 18 were fatal, the children wer...
