Indian Youth Climate Network is coming up with a national video competition about “food cycle and its impact on environment and farm animal agriculture”. The competition is called “food in focus”.

This competition is being organized to spread awareness on our food sources and how this affects our environment. Modern consumption patterns are resulting in wastage of natural resources across the world. Deforestation has risen to extreme levels to support our diets and this is now beginning to alter our climate and exacerbate global warming. It has been scientifically proven by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization that our global livestock is responsible for 18 percent of green house gas emissions. Our environment needs immediate attention. We all need to understand it’s a serious problem and it will hamper India’s plans for sustainable development.
