The greatest food challenges in the U.S. and globally include food insecurity, unsustainable agricultural practices, and food waste. In the U.S., millions struggle with access to affordable, nutritious food, while globally, over 800 million people face chronic hunger. Additionally, climate change, soil degradation, and water scarcity threaten the sustainability of food production, with unsustainable farming practices depleting soil health and biodiversity. Food waste compounds these issues, with roughly one-third of food produced globally going to waste.
Mobilizing best practices for growing food and treating soils requires a shift towards sustainable, regenerative agriculture. This includes practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced chemical use, and agroforestry, which restore soil health, conserve water, and reduce carbon emissions. Educating farmers, policymakers, and consumers about the importance of soil stewardship and the benefits of local food systems can help build resilience in the food supply chain. Additionally, reducing food waste through better storage, distribution, and consumption habits can maximize the resources we already have.
Global Won leads the way in promoting education and collaboration around sustainable agriculture. By fostering connections between farmers, innovators, and policymakers, Global Won supports the sharing of best practices and technologies that enhance food production while preserving ecosystems. The platform also facilitates global discussions on reducing food waste and improving food access, advocating for policy changes that support sustainable food systems. Through workshops, mentorships, and partnerships, Global Won empowers communities to implement solutions that address both local and global food challenges, driving progress toward a more equitable and sustainable food future.
