I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student can:
a. define sustainable development;
b. discuss the concepts of sustainable development;
c. enumerate the 17 sustainable development goals;
d. identify the pillars and principles of sustainable development;
e. discuss the general information and define global food security;
f. determine the things affecting food security and corresponding; and
g. identify food security measures.
II. Introduction
The continues production of the world’s natural resources, such as water
and fossil fuel allows humanity to discover and innovate many things. We were
able to utilize energy, discover new technologies, and make advancements in
transportation and communication. However, these positive effects of
development put our environment at a disadvantage. Climate change
accelerated and global inequality was not eradicated. This means that
development, although beneficial at one hand, entails cost on the other.
The demand for food will be 60% greater than it is today and the challenge
of food security requires the world to feed 9 billion people by 2050 (Breene,
2016). Global food security means delivering sufficient food to the entire world
population. It is therefore, a priority of all countries, whether developed or less
developed. The security of food also means the sustainability of society such as
population growth, climate change, water scarcity, and agriculture.
III. Inputs
2. No Hunger
Challenges malnutrition, unsustainable agricultural practices, and
systems that propagate unsustainable food production systems; calls for safe,
nutritious, and sufficient food throughout all seasons for all persons (esp. in
least developed countries).
In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives, agricultural
productivity must double as well as the incomes of small scale farmers. Other
targets that lie under this goal are;
Elimination of wasting and stunting of children less than 5 years of age
Increased secure and equal access to land.
Establishing diversified seed banks to preserve genetic diversity.
Efficient exchange of both modern and traditional farming practice
knowledge.
Establishing financial services that market opportunities for value addition
and non-farm employment.
Increasing and improving rural infrastructure.
3. Good Health
Tackles reducing the global mortality ratio and promotes well-being in all
age groups. It calls for action in ending preventable deaths by increasing
access to communicable disease vaccines and medicines (i.e. HIV/AIDS,
malaria, TB etc.) and challenges health care sectors to eradicate non-
communicable disease (cancers, diabetes, hypertension etc.) by a third,
globally. In doing so, it suggests promoting prevention over test-and-treat
strategies and calls for universal access to sexual and reproductive services.
Additionally;
Reducing number of road traffic accidents.
Striving to provide universal health care coverage including financial risk
protection and access to quality primary care.
Reducing the prevalence of deaths/illness from hazardous chemicals, air,
water, and soil pollution.
Increasing health financing for early warning and risk reduction in global
health risks.
4. Quality Education
Ensures inclusive, equitable, and quality education for girls and boys at
all levels (as well as vocational and technical training institutions) so that they
experience efficient outcomes and occupations to sustain life. It also calls for
elimination of disparities in gender, disability, and unequal access for those in
vulnerable situations so that they too, can support themselves later in life. It
stresses importance of ensuring literacy and numeracy in both young and old
populations and encourages the creation of an international curriculum that
covers topics such as;
Sustainable development and lifestyles
Human rights and gender equality
Promotion of peace and non-violence
Global citizenship
Appreciation for cultural diversity and its contribution to sustainable
development
Finally, it calls for new and upgraded educational facilities that are child,
disability, and gender sensitive and that promote safe, non-violent, inclusive
and effective learning environments.
5. Gender Equality
The purpose here is to achieve gender equality and empower all women
and girls. This goal sets targets for women’s ability to fully participate and be
provided with equal opportunities in leadership at all levels. This requires;
Financial services
Inheritance and natural resource access
Equal access to enabling technologies, particularly in information and
communication, that promotes empowerment
Ownership and control over land and other forms of property
It also challenges society to recognize the value of unpaid care and
domestic work through actions such as the provision of public services, better
infrastructure, social protection policies, and the promotion of shared
responsibilities. Mainly, the gender equality goal stresses the full eradication
of not just discrimination, but violence against women in both the public and
private sphere. This includes, but is not limited to trafficking, sexual
exploitation, and harmful cultural practices (prevalent in developing countries)
such as early forced marriages and female genital mutilation. Finally, it calls
for the adoption of sound policies and enforceable legislation to see such
targets are being met.
7. Renewable Energy
Aim is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable modern
energy for all. Importance is placed on diversifying the market and increasing
the share of renewable energy into the global energy mix—that way more
stakeholders and everyday citizens can bear the expense of switching to
clean energy. This will help create incentive to achieve other targets under
this goal such as;
Doubling the rate of efficiency improvement
Enhancing international cooperation to facilitate access to energy research
and technology, particularly in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
advanced/cleaner fossil fuel technology
Promoting investments in energy infrastructure
In the face of climate change, it is within countries’ best interests for the
immediate health of generations today as well as the generations of tomorrow
to switch to clean energy alternatives.
8. Good Jobs and Economic Growth
While strengthening GDP (Gross domestic product) is important for a
prosperous and productive economy, it only scratches the surface for this
goal—to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full
and productive employment, and decent work for all. It encourages developed
countries to maintain their GDP growth in line with national circumstances
and encourages at least 7 per cent growth in developing and least developed
countries. Targets are set to increase diversification, technological upgrading
and innovation, and focus on high-added value and labour-intensive sectors
and to promote development-oriented policies that support;
Decent work for all women and men
Young persons
Persons with disabilities
Entrepreneurship
Creativity and innovation
Encouragement of growth for micro, small, and medium sized
enterprises through access to necessary financial services
It maintains that gender equality and equal education is central for this
goal in addition to the eradication of child labour. It also stresses increasing
the capacity of domestic financial institutions to expand access to banking,
insurance, and other financial services for all.
Definition
1. Global food security means delivering sufficient food to the entire world
population. I also signifies he sustainability of society such as population
growth, climate change, water scarcity and agriculture.
2. Food Security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and
economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary
needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (1996, World Food
Summit).
3. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines four dimensions of
food security:
• Availability – the supply of sufficient quantities of food of appropriate
quality where it is needed.
• Access – people have secure access to this food so that they can cultivate
or purchase adequate food.
• Utilisation – food can be used and digested suitably and as needed.
• Stability – the supply of food is stable in the long term.
b) Water Crisis
Another significant environmental challenge is that of the decline in the
availability of fresh water (Conca, 2006). The decline in the water supply
because of soil or desertification (Glantz, 1977), has transformed what was
once considered a public a good into a privatized commodity. The poorest
areas of the globe experience disproportionate share of water-related
problems. The problem is further intensified by the consumption of “virtual
water,” wherein people inadvertently use up water from elsewhere in the
world through the consumption of water-intensive products (Ritzer, 2015). He
destruction of the water ecosystem may lead to the creation of “climate
refugees, people who are forced to migrate due to lack of access to water or
due to flooding” (Ritzer, 2015, p.211)
c) Climate Change
Pollution through toxic chemicals has had a long-term impact on the
environment. The use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has led to
significant industrial pollution (Dinham, 2007). Greenhouse gases, gases that
trap sunlight and heat in earth’s atmosphere, contribute greatly to global
warming. In turn, this process causes the melting of land-based and glacial
ice with potentially catastrophic effects (Revkin, 2008), the possibility of
substantial flooding, a reduction in the alkalinity of the oceans, and
destruction of existing ecosystems. Ultimately, global warming poses a threat
to the global supply of food as well as to human health (Brown, 2007).
Furthermore, population growth and its attendant increase in consumption
intensify ecological problems. The global flow of dangerous debris is another
major concern, with electronic waste often dumped in developing countries.
d) Land Degradation
The excessive feeding of vegetation for cattle, sheep and goats that may
result for the consumption of roots and sparse of the vegetation to which it
disables the reproduction of crops and fades the ability for food release
established in this crops. Also, slash-and-burn farming and large-scale
deforestation were greatly impairing soil fertility. Most forests in developing
countries and emerging economies are slashed and burnt in order to obtain
new agricultural acreage. Another is the incorrect irrigation where it keeps the
salt content of the soil and disables the enrichment state of the soil. Naturally,
a proper drainage is a must to remove the salt content of the soil and avoid
being salinized that may cause for the soil to grow arable crops no more.
IV. Outputs
GROUP ACTIVITY (Go! Go! Goals: Board Game)
How to Play the Game:
1. There are 63 spaces on the board game. Players advance the number of
spaces determined by rolling a single dice.
2. The reporters will group the class into 6 groups with 5 members each by
counting off.
3. Each player places their token on the Start Field.
4. Players take turns to roll the dice and move their tokens forward the number of
spaces as shown on the dice.
5. If a player lands at the bottom of a ladder, they can immediately climb to the
top.
6. If a player lands at the top of a waterslide, they immediately move to the
bottom of the slide.
7. If a player lands on a Sustainable Development Goal field (1-17), they can
draw a card corresponding to the goal number. Another player should read the
card question. A correct answer from the card drawer will allow the player to
roll the dice once again.
8. The first player to arrive on the field “2030 is the winner”! If a player throws the
required number, they must step forward into field 2030 and then move
backwards the surplus number of species.
Playing Time: 30-40 minutes
