“The Population Increases as the Value of Life Decreases”

The human population does not only affects human but also our environment and
wildlife. The increased population had also led to increased pollution and industrialization. This
had adversely affected our natural environment, decreasing the value of life.

As the population keeps growing, more and more countries are running out of food
supplies and other resources caused by various disasters. Population has becoming one of the
biggest issues we are facing today. As the saying “The Population increases as the value of life
decreases” implies on the situation that when population requires more resources, deforestation
is happening at a faster rate which takes away the homes of various animals. Simultaneously,
their habitat is being destroyed owning to human activities, which means that when a
population grows more, the value of life in animals, the environment and eventually us will also
decreased. In fact, instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population,
perhaps it’s time for us to control the population to allow the survival of the environment.

EXERCISE:
Essay!! (200-500 words), Is there a direct link between poverty and food security? Why?

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to
sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preference for an active
and healthy life.

There is a direct link between poverty and food security: Availability of sufficient food is
clearly a necessary condition for food security, and much policy thinking focuses solely on the
questions of availability. But, availability of enough food in the aggregate is not sufficient for food
security. Policies and government only focuses on the availability of food, rather than securing
the food, which creates risks for access to food. There are many reasons why people may not
have access to food such as the existence of poverty on people. The quality of food that people
can access is also important, particularly for the poorest people, and also for people with limited
information about the food nutrition. When a food price is high, poor people would likely switch
to lower priced food that fails to adequately meet their nutritional needs. Ensuring that every
food we take is healthy and safe.

Reducing poverty is a key element in a policy for food security, because poor people most
likely to have lesser security on the food they take every day as they couldn’t afford high-priced
foods that could meet their nutrients. Thus, poverty and food security has direct link with each
other.
