Main purpose of this presentation is to utilize the optimum level of food and not to use too much food which cause food insecurity in future . Other things is to study , role of food industry to support food security and also main theme to follow the steps or methods to decrease foo insecurity.

1. Food Security as a Challenge to the
Food Industries in Pakistan
HAMZA -BIN -RIAZ
SOIL SCIENCE (7th
Semester UCA,University Of Sargodha)

2. Harsh Realities
Despite the fact that global economy is a food surplus economy.
17 % of the world population go hungry every day in the world.
More than half the world's population lives in low-income.
6 million children a year die of causes related to malnutrition.
The chronic hunger kills more people every day than disasters, disease or
war.

What's the
Challenge?

3. • Nearly one quarter population of Pak. Is classified as
poor (world resource institute 2007)
• Agri. Contributes about 24% of GDP and employs
46% population.
• Forest cover 4.5% and deforestation 0.2¬0.4 % per
annul .
• Pakistan among 17 countries facing water shortage
and among 36 facing serious threat of food crises
(WB 2009)

4. • Loosing at least 5% of GDP may be 20%
• Emission share 0.44% 135th
in world ranking
• Out of 120 districts in Pak. 74 are food deficit
in terms of net availability ( SDPI 2003)
• Agri. Production rise by less than 1% annually
(FAO 2006)

5. CLIMATIC CHANGES IN PAKISTAN
• Climatic changes will increase in normal moon
soon pattern ( GSISC 2008)
• More rapid erosion of glaciers than predicted
threatening Indus river system flows
• Likely hood of glaciers disappearing by year
2035 is very high (Int. Commission of snow
and water 1999)
• Severe stressed conditions in arid and semi
arid areas resulting in food industry due to
decrease In agri. Products (GCIBC 2008)

6. FOOD SECURITY

7. 7
What is Food Security?
A concept originated only in the mid-1970s in the discussions of
international food problems at a time of global food crisis.
Initial Focus
Food supply problems
Assuring the availability
Price stability of basic
foodstuffs
World Food Conference of 1974. Establishing resources for promoting
food security and forums for dialogue on policy issues
Leads
to
7

8. 8
1974 World Food Summit
“Availability at all times of adequate world food supplies of basic foodstuffs to
sustain a steady expansion of food consumption and to offset fluctuations in
production and prices”.
In 1983, FAO
“Ensuring that all people at all times have both physical and
economic access to the basic food that they need”.
FAO demands, to provide secure access by weak people &
Balanced between the demand and supply side of the food security equation

THREE PILLARS OF FOOD SECURITY
FOOD INDUSTRY
EYE
Food Industry is a one of the key To Control Food Insecurity

10. 10
AVAILABILITY
Food availability is achieved when sufficient quantities of
food are consistently available to all individuals.
HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN FOOD AVAILABILITY
By Increased Food production
Food processing and improving shelf stability
Trade – Imports & exports
Stockpiling of food, insuring the availability during need

11. 11
ACCESS
When a household and all members of the
household have enough physical and economic
resources to acquire food meeting the nutritional
requirements and dietary needs of the household.
HOW WE INCORPORATE ACCESS TO FOOD
Marketing products
Transporting products to needed areas
Focusing Purchasing power/Income of consumer
Providing access to nutritious food.

12. 12
UTILIZATION
Food is properly used through appropriate food processing and
storage practices, adequate knowledge and application of
nutrition and child care, and adequate health and sanitation
services
HOW WE CAN ENHANCE FOOD UTILIZATION
Develop Nutritious food choices
Incorporate Food safety and quality principles
Reduce post harvest losses
Targeting consumers
Process modifications.

13. 13
STABILITY
Stability refers to consistent supply of nutritious food at the
national level as well as stability in access to food at the
household and individuals levels
HOW WE CAN ENSURE STABILITY OF FOOD
By proper planning of Food Processing
Focusing the demands and supply
Empowering the Manpower
Using innovations and modern technology
Utilizing alternate energy sources

THREATS IN PAKISTAN TO FOOD
INDUSTRY
Lack of Standards
Lack of planning by
Government
Lack of Skilled Employees
Lack of Marketing
Lack of Research
Disasters and conflicts
Poor Buying power of
people

FOOD INDUSTRIES
FOOD INDUSTRIES IS ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENT TO
CONTROL FOOD INSECURITY
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
(Cost, Energy & Productivity)
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
(Product line, Preservation, Storage,
Safety and quality)
INOVATION
(Production, packaging,
Marketability & service)
Facilitating then regulatory,
and monitoring tools
should be servise oriented
Hiring and Generating out jobs for
Empowering Human Resources
NUTRITION KEEPING
(Monitoring the processing,
Fortification & Enrichment)
VALUE ADDITION
(Raw material, and
Existing products) Increase Funding in HR
development for Food
Industry, decrease gap
between Universities and
Industry. SMEDA should be
staffed with Experienced Food
Scientists.
