Dear Jakarta Language Enthusiasts,
The
year of 2020 has been declared as International Year of Plant Health by the
United Nations’ General Assembly and carried out by Food and Agriculture
Organization as an effort to recognizing that sustaining plant health protects
the environment, forests, and biodiversity from plant pests, addresses the
effect of climate change, and support efforts to end hunger, malnutrition, and
poverty and boost economic development, and that the protection of plant health
from pests is a key factor in strategies to eliminate hunger and rural poverty.
One of the major problems of plant health is pest and disease, which is
exacerbated by the practice of monoculture and could be diminished by the
practice of polyculture.
The widespread practice of monoculture happened
because of the high demand from consumer for a certain product that must be
met.
According to the report of World Wide Fund for Nature and Knorr Foods, 75%
of the food we consume comes from just 12 plant and 3 animal sources. Out of
12, 3 crops – wheat, corn, and rice – make up nearly 60% of the plant-based
calories in most diets.
As a consumer, our end of the bargain to lessen this
problem is to change our eating habits and diversify our diet.
In collaboration with Zywielab and ISAGI (Ikatan Sarjana Gizi Indonesia), we would like to invite you to join our first of six Language Exchange Meetup to talk about diversifying your diet.
Come and join us!
