Jaheed Buksh,

While many are already employed back with hotel industries as borders are reopening soon, others waiting for the green light from companies to be taken back after over a year.

The only word we hear is HOPE from public. Hope for a better Fiji.

Sports diversity Jan Nissar,

When will the Fiji Rugby Union be inclusive and make the game ethnically diverse in terms of diversity in players as well as in management?

Or is this game the exclusive bastion of one ethnic group? Is that just an accepted fact because that is the way it has always been, and you all are comfortabl­e with it? Why fix something when it is not broken, right?

By the same token, when will the Fiji Football Associatio­n bring ethnic diversity into its management?

Or are you comfortabl­e with the way things are because that is the way it has always been? I am very happy with the diversity in the players, but we must bring diversity at all levels please.

Staying quiet will not fix this. Let’s see if those who are responsibl­e run and hide or if they will provide some answers.

World Food Day Neelz Singh, Lami

World Food Day marks the anniversar­y of an exceptiona­l moment as countries around the world deal with the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a time to look into the future we need to build together.

The day known as World Food Day is celebrated on October 16, in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agricultur­e Organisati­on in the United Nations in 1945.

The COVID-19 response is an opportunit­y to build back better by making food systems more resilient to shocks and more sustainabl­e through agricultur­al practices that work with nature.

Promoting climate-smart and environmen­tally friendly agricultur­al practices, such as agro-ecology, that preserve the Earth’s natural resources, our health, and the climate can also slow the habitat destructio­n that contribute­s to disease outbreaks.

Food security is under threat; there is a need to raise awareness of the issue behind poverty and hunger. Since agricultur­e is the background for many countries, planting crops and vegetables meets many challengin­g our climate is changing.

And we want you to tell us why food and agricultur­e must too, to fight against poverty is to grow own food and veggies to sustain healthy living and also will gain cash for crops.

In recent times of need we have seen good Samaritans and newly formed non-government organisati­ons distributi­ng packs of ration to urban and rural communitie­s.

Food waste represents a global paradox. While approximat­ely at home, most of the food not consumed ends up either being wasted, while at the same time nearly a billion people are unable to cover their daily needs in food.

Saving Food offers an innovative and socially responsibl­e solution to the food waste challenge by developing an online networked community of various stakeholde­rs that through collective awareness, knowledge sharing, motivation­s and incentives, will facilitate the redistribu­tion of surplus food and leftover crops for the benefit of the vulnerable groups of our society.
