The Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN) with the support of Humane Society International (HSI) is launching its National Video Competition-“Food in Focus” on food processing cycle and animal farming.
IYCN is a not for profit organization which started in 2008. It is a network of young people in 18 states who are concerned about climate change & environmental issues. The purpose of IYCN is to bring the voice of Indian youth on the global platform as India is one of the most vulnerable regions affected by climate change & environmental issues.
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 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.
