World Food Day
World Food Day 2023 / Why do our food producers go hungry?
Hunger is not only a political or economic problem, but also an alarming gender issue.
Healthy diet for healthy bodies
Consuming a balanced diet throughout one's life helps to prevent malnutrition in all of its manifestations, as well as a variety of diseases, illnesses, and other health problems. However, increased processed food production, rising urbanisation, and changing lifestyles have resulted in a shift in dietary trends.
Grocery shopping to level up your diet game!
It is often hard to wave goodbye to the sugary and high fat containing foods that filled the void inside you for a long time.

Why organic is the way to go
Is organic really the way to go for the future of food production? This subject is not brand-new, and policymakers and food producers have hotly debated the topic for decades. In contrast, some data suggest that going organic will be necessary to ensure a brighter future on this planet. Other sources claim that going organic is just a marketing ploy to get us to pay more for items that are ultimately not that much better for our health or the environment. Average Joes have always sought clarity over this debate.
Where functionality and health coincide
It is no secret that an average urbanite struggles to maintain a healthy balance in their food intake. Deadlines, late dinners, and the pressure of being punctual and performing at an optimum level have always been at the top of our priorities. Such a lifestyle eventually leads to health-related issues in the long run. However, it can be minimised if we become conscious of what food we intake on a daily basis.
Zerocal: A healthy choice for replacing sugar
Zerocal lets you enjoy the sweet things in life without the extra calorie count, which comes from sugar. We love the desserts that are in abundance in our culture, be it the mishti doi, various pithas, cakes, etc. It just feels incomplete if something sweet after lunch or dinner is not there to satisfy our sweet tooth! While nutritious ingredients are used to make these delicious foods, heavy usage of sugar makes them very calorie heavy, which in turn makes them unhealthy.
Bazar365: An environment-friendly approach to online shopping
Every time we shop for groceries, it appears that plastic is an inevitable part of the experience. While many companies are slowly implementing upscaling, introducing paper bags and biodegradable plastic, consumers are often unaware of their overall plastic consumption. Bazar365 is an online marketplace targeting to mitigate this lack of awareness by creating an eco-friendly space for customers to fulfil their responsibilities. Bazar365’s model aligns with SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production. They are tackling this goal by creating a greener shopping experience and an eco-friendly marketplace.

With their wide variety of Nestlé products, you probably come across at least one every day.

To guarantee food security for all
October 16 is celebrated as the World Food Day every year. The day commemorates the launch of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
Rising from dire straits
Bangladesh has not had a food year so bad since 2008. That was a year now well marked in history books as the year of global economic meltdown, the worst since the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Going regional to tackle local food crisis
The food security situation in Bangladesh has been in troubled waters all through the year. The metaphor stands true in the literal sense as well, since the recent threats to food security are largely a result of the damage caused by two successive floods: the flash flood during April and the monsoon flood since late June.
