As pandemic period like COVID-19 arises, not one Government but the Government of all Countries have been suffering to reduce the risk of the diseases, at the same time due to Economic's unstable condition, there are many bottom people who suffered to eat even a meal per day, and even though it was such an difficult situation to overcome these issues. Accordingly those people with high Immune Power were not in a risk of being critized to Covid but many people from many countries were really affected even they encompassed all pandemic regulations and was being isolated, due to their low Immune Response which is the Most essential to prevent us from virus attacks. These immune systems, Body Conditions and Being Healthy all are the only one first basis for which an individual survives, which completely lies on Food. Food now-a-days become an Marketing Product indirectly and really people does not take much effort on it usually may be due to their work-loads or on being thrift. On the basis of Food, Cleanliness, Quality, Packaging, Date of expiration etcc are must to be done with many regulations and even according to the Law where there is an seperate Department for these Food and Agriulture Controls in every Country. Not only during these pandemic times, but even though normally if a Government takes these policies on Food Security may be there will be reduced amount of the Malnutrition Childrens or Adults who may not suffer from various different health issues. Here the two main Policy suggested to follow is of the:
i] The Travel duration and Entity of the food from where they started it to grow, plant nor pack is the major thing to be noted, and Quality Assurances is really not developed in many countries, and so the packaging, marketing of food, storage, processing, distribution etcc are to be basically noted and should strictly be followed by each and every small scale industries even though it is the future of great food Distributional Sectors. Even recently on the news update, the U.N.World Food sectors has announced that the people of above 120 million on approximate rate will face the issue of Food Acute Insecurity in the end of this year, if this pandemic lockdown continues.
ii] Even food Industries have been facing their facing their own Economic finances issues and failing to produce the food with good nutritional ingrdients and so they make a deal on low quality and not fully grown materials with the producers and supply food with these impurable and not secured qualities. Even on Travelling, they are not being noted whether they are cleanly covered, and travelled by a good transport where no disruptions take place. Hence it would be good if Government take actions towards the Travel consumptions of food with some agencies and also the Packaging where people most probably prefer on buying the product.
It is not just easy to globally be safe and secured, but precautions could atleast reduce the rate of being chastised mentally or physically of every individual. Each and every Municipal securities should also take main step to avoid the insecureness on food and to provide nutritious food to people mainly the pregnant women, Elder People and Children below 4. Globally every individual survival should take steps on buying good and nutirious food for their own goodness and being healthy is also an Prevention and great support for your cherished circle and even for Nation goodness indirectly.Hence strating from Agricultural process to termination of Supplying process Government should take a look of these preparations more during pandemic periods. Following these policies may the least concern in food safety and are many developing procedures in various countries for their people's health being on good state.
