No more hunger:

Did you ask your self before how many people are dying from hunger or food shortage?

World Hunger:

No one could deny that there are several problems that face our small society or may be the large earth.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016. Almost all the hungry people, 780 million, live in developing countries, representing 12.9 percent, or one in eight, of the population of developing counties. There are 11 million people undernourished in developed countries (FAO 2015; for individual country estimates, see Annex 1. For other valuable sources, especially if interested in particular countries or regions, see IFPRI 2016 and Rosen et. al. 2016).

the abstract:

To be able to solve this problem we did some steps over the week and we searched for new researches. After making a strong background the conclusion is that we reach to choosing a new class of rice called Giza 189 this is the newest class have resistance to the disease, have a large production it’s about 4.5-5 tons per year, short time to grow, we can grow it on the arid area and bear salt soils. So now we are making a prototype to test it’s properties and collect data. The main prototype is a simulation by using sketch up, also we added a healthy food improver called Msg and mix it with crushed spinach which rich with different kind of vitamin ,then we will make the meal like the fast food noodles from this solution that results are having delicious, environmentally , economic and sustainable meal which will help poor people to eat healthy and cheap meals .finally,by achieving this project we will have a new and healthy production with high quality and with less cost as it possible.

the main ideas on the solution:

1//The advantages of spinach:-

1- It fight cancer.

2- Make the immunity system strong.

3- helpful for providing energy.

4-protect eyes from diseases.

5- Diabetes management.

6- Asthma prevention.

7- Bone health.

8- Promotes regularity.

9- Healthy skin and hair.

2//Irrigation system:-

We choose a new type of irrigation called aquaponics.

Aquaponics: - is a system of aquaculture in which the waste produced by farmed fish or other aquatic creatures supplies the nutrients for plants grown hydroponically, which in turn purify the water.

3//rice:

Giza 179 rice has different properties as it can grow in the salt soil and take 95-120 days to grow. It also bear drought.

So that, using Giza 179 rice is better than normal as it will fix its disadvantages.

the impact:

The meal like the fast food noodles from this solution are having delicious,environmentally,economic and sustainable meal which will help people healthy and cheap meals to support them and destroy the ghost of hunger.
