The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Thursday September 29th, 2022 – International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction
Stop Food Loss and waste, for the people, for the planet. Reducing food losses and waste is essential in a world where the number of people affected by hunger has been slowly on the rise since 2014, and tons and tons of edible food are lost and/or wasted every day. Globally, around 14 percent of food produced is lost between harvest and retail, while an estimated 17 percent of total global food production is wasted (11 percent in households, 5 percent in the food service and 2 percent in retail).
The International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste is an opportunity to call to action both the public (national or local authorities) and the private sector (businesses and individuals), to prioritise actions and move ahead with innovation to reduce food loss and waste towards restoring and building back better and resilient-ready, food systems.
Acting on freedom of opinion by Amir Khatib
I can express my opinion because I have lived and worked in Europe for more than thirty years, and when you live in a country or geographical area for more than half your life, you understand a lot.

I said at the beginning of the conflict that recently broke out between Russia and Ukraine, I said in more than one situation, what is meant by this war is Europe, meaning to weaken Europe.

The message #poem by Bohdan Yuri
“The message I’m getting is far from here
it travels in a line of constant despair.
a hungry child stares at his unfilled hands
his mother cries at the emptiness in his soul.”

Lanza Del Vasto: (1901-1981) Shantidas -Servant of Peace by Rene Wadlow
Lanza Del Vasto, whose birth anniversary we mark on 29 September, was born in 1901 into an intellectual and aristocratic Italian family. Much of his early education was in a cosmopolitan milieu in France, and Lanza spoke Italian, French and English. Later he did university studies in Florence, attracted by its art and literary history. There, in 1927, he published his first book of poetry, but quickly returned to France and developed a strong artistic friendship with Luc Dietrich, at the time considered as the raising star of French poetry, though today, largely forgotten. (1). Del Vasto continued to publish his poems, but he tired of life in the artistic milieu of Paris.
Del Vasto considered himself as a Roman Catholic and was drawn to the idea of a pilgrimage – a journey on foot during which one discovers new parts of the world but which also has a spiritual meaning. Thus in 1936 he set out for India where he traveled largely on foot. He joined Mahatma Gandhi at Gandhi’s ashram. There Del Vasto was convinced of the spiritual and political validity of Gandhi’s nonviolence.
