Food security in Netherlands.

Introduction. Can you reduce words here and just focus on presenting what SDG is and

what your chosen SGD is.. Then state the purpose of this essay and how it will be

structured

The kingdom of Dutch constitutes a family of four countries: Aruba, the Dutch,

StMaarten and Curacaos. The kingdom is situated in Europe, stretches from Netherlands to the

Caribbean islands. These countries joint forces to counter all the iniquities. However, each

autonomous country is self-governed. The states have enacted ambitious methodology of

implementing the sustainable development goals (SDGs). These are goals that are internationally

agreed upon, sustainable and are of coherent framework. The kingdom has jointly implementing

the SDG at both the kingdom level as well as the state level. All the states are tirelessly aiming

at attaining the seventeen agreed upon goals. The kingdom’s Voluntary National Reviews

incorporates the views and the positions of the states, they all assume in the kingdom.

Furthermore, the report brings along the progress in each of the country, which has amended
toward the 2030 vision. Moreover, the kingdom takes pride in spreading the ideologies and

practices globally.

All the parties in the kingdom take the goals as the framework, where the referencing of

all the plans are adhered to. The goals act as propellants of progress. In that the goals acts as the

stepping stone that gunners their efforts and invests all in the progress. The kingdom is

accommodative to all collaborations. All these are put in place to put manage the hunger

situation in the globe. In the kingdom’s vision 2030, it has stipulated on various ways to

eradicate both poverty and hunger (Hollo, 2017). The vision stipulates on how to counter the

poverty cycles and eventually distort the hunger situation in the globe. Recently, government of

the Netherlands reported to the united nation that they are ready for the next leap(Hassink,

2006). State the purpose of tthis essay and how it wil be structured

Implications of the no hunger policy.

There should be separate sections for implications for business and society

For each assessment, you will be evaluating both negative and positive implications

Implications on:

Business

Positives:
Business can and will probably be involved in bringing about success of the Goal. This
might be as a partner with the Government etc.
If the Goal is successful, the economy should benefit. More economic activity leads to more
growth and in theory higher/better living standards.
This should bring opportunities both for new and established businesses. New markets,
more customers leading to higher profits.

Negatives:
If the Goal is not achieved by 2030 then the opposite of the above would apply.
Existing established businesses might be taken over. The negatives of Globalisation could
apply.
 Technological disruption will play a part in all business activity so greater competition will
adversely affect some businesses.
Relationships with Governments might be strained or break down. Business might become
too powerful and influence Government policy unfairly.
Does the area have a stable Government along with a workable legal structure?
What type of political system is in place?
If free market dominated then business would tend to do well. If a socialistic type
Government is in power, the situation might be different.

Society

Positives:
If the Goal is successful then life will be better, people can develop and become more
economically productive, enjoying longer healthier happier lives

Negatives:
Or things may get worse!

Other
We can look at developed countries for these implications
Will we have a society dominated by celebrity, obesity and materialism if the Goals
succeed?
Would this be a negative or a positive?

Luckily, from the emergence of the Netherlands kingdom to date, seldom has anyone

suffered from a rigorous hunger or malnourishment. However, obesity seemingly to be the issue.

For last several years, the portion of the population that fell victim of this has constantly been

decreasing. The Dutch government has put in place policies that prevent overweight target youth

and the children, for the reversal of obese is a hard process. In the whole kingdom, healthy

Weight Programs in the vicinities and schools are substantially aiming at the reduction in the

number of the overweight youth as well as children (Hassink, 2006). 

Additionally, agreements based on coherent framework are being implemented. The

collaborations are with all that are pertained to the foods chain, in reducing the amounts of

ingredients in food staffs that bring about overweight: sugar, salt and saturated fats. The
government also is encouraging healthy eating by creating awareness to the public on the casual

implications on unhealthy eating (Hooft, Wollen and BhandarI, 2012).  More so, the labelling of

the products have improved, for it holds information on the importance of healthy eating. The

government has lunched programs that supply healthy food staffs to the schools. For instance,

the collaboration of the government and the Fruit and Vegetables Industry Trade Association

(Hollo, 2017). 

The sustainability of a robust production of food industry is one of the focal encounters

the kingdom is facing to achieve its SDGs. Several years ago, the levels of phosphate were

extremely overridden. Hence, the kingdom brought up the package restrictive measures

including the reduction in quantity of livestock. Unfortunately, the stretch of livestock farming

will further the face the reduction scheme, as a result of Phosphate Reduction Scheme. The

Dutch, eminently has considered the reduction of nitrogen, ammonia and phosphate emissions.

All the parties and the administrators are apparently aware of the need for more workable

production of food (Behnassi, Pollmann and Kissinger, 2009). 

Arguably, there are policies that are being developed to counter the greenhouse gas

emissions. These polices are reinforcing industries that bark on recycling of raw materials.

Clearly, the policies are highly investing on cyclic economy. A few years ago, the central

government declared a number of measures to be enacted on financially enable conversion t

organic farming, partly in to counter the rapid demand for organic merchandises. Financial back-

up is being trenched into research and innovation of any other methodologies that are

environmental friendly or logistic chains and promotion of the local grown products(Behnassi,

Pollmann and Kissinger, 2009). 

 The government, upholds the significance of food security and puts a lot emphases on

ensuring the accessibility, suitability, controlled nutritional value and a constant source of food

on the lands. As a result of international affiliations, the kingdom is expounding on the skill and

knowledge with an aim ofbuilding upa strong and a steady food supply. This is resulting to

stakeholders from both governmental and non-governmental, to conduct community-supported

projects, teaching people on how to do urban farming (Langeveld, 2006).  Once the plot start

attaining produce, the aim will be assisting the neighborhood and eventually to the assist in

ensuring food security to the country. Moreover, the kingdom is also aware food security

situation in the third world countries. Apparently, most the third world countries are extremely

dependent to other countries for food. The revisited guidelines, aims at eradication of this

vulnerability and stressing on integration of water projects to counter the dependence (Hassink,

2006). 

Consequently, the kingdom has spread the skills and ideas to other parts of the globe.

Foo security is the focal aim priorities of the kingdom in the foreign exchange also in aiding.

Annually, since 2013, the kingdom has been extending the generous hand to the disadvantaged

groups with better nutrition via the Netherlands’ exertion and investments in averting innutrition.

In an array of affiliated countries, Netherlands has supported prolific social safety nets, which

offer people with food or money in exchange for labor. In Netherlands food security has been

entirely implemented (Langeveld, 2006).  Additionally, over ten million farmers have received

support to improve their productivity and income. This also is made achievable by provision of

water, pesticides, fertilizers and soil. Netherlands’ 2020 goal is to have provided to over twenty

million people with better nutrition, to reach out to o over six million farmers, hence increasing
their production as well as their income and annually to be bringing over five million of hectares

of land into cultivation (Seward and Arora, 2006). 

Mores so, Netherlands immensely contributes to the growth of global knowledge on

workable agriculture and on raising agricultural productivity capacity in the third world

countries. For instance, in 2006, the launch of Access to Seed Index. This measures the efforts of

leading international seed produce to make quality seed accessible to trivial scale farmers

situated in the third world countries. Netherlands is also putting a lot of finances in the activities

of the Crop Trust to preserve a huge variety of agricultural crops in the interested of entire world

food security.With the benefit of the policies, the agricultural trade and investment has be

established (Bergeijk and Hoeven, 2017).  Netherlands, supports the emerging and the third

world countries’ efforts to standardize the local markets. Hence adhering to the international

standards and eventually acquiring a position in the global market. The kingdom ensures the

countries have increased the agricultural bio-diversification and actively reduce the amount of

gas emanating from the greenhouses (Fassil, 2009). 

The no hunger policy has brought about cohesion in Europe. The cohesion is of

paramount significance to the European Common Agricultural Policy. The association is in

charge of market standardization and regulation. The policy that is embedded to trading and

investment, especially the third world countries is to fund greater coherence in the region as well

as to enhance all the activities to have a thriving economy(Hadjiisky, Pal and Walker,

2017). Furthermore, the policy aids in the third world countries to standardize and regulate the

local markets, more so enhance agricultural biodiversity and reduce the gas emanating from the

green houses. Currently, literary all the concentration falls within the European region. The lose

o life as a result of air pollution is slightly above the average (Belderok, Mesdag and Donner,
2000).The kingdom is working together to ensure accessibility of the inevitable, high-quality

mental healthcare as well as the physical healthcare. The kingdom is working tirelessly to ensure

the promotion of healthy life styles among its citizens. The state of Netherlands, introduced a

collective healthcare coverage providing an equal overall well-being care to the whole

populations (Van der zee, 1998). 

Outstandingly, the Aruba’s vaccination ensures to cover almost all the children-

inhabitants of the state. Purposely this is enacted o mitigate the hunger disasters that emanate

from poor sanitation. In the region one of the major economic befits attained from zero hunger

goal is the removal of trade barriers. Mainly, the mode of transportation that’s in use is aviation.

Aviation gives out the desirable connectivity for the perishable goods. Also aviation assist a lot

in the delivery of humanitarian help in urgency. As a result all the trade burrier have been

condone to enhance fast and vital delivery of the services and goods in the devastated parts of the

region as well as the globe (Hadjiisky, Pal and Walker, 2017). .

With the aid of World Food Program, aviation has played a vital role in delivery of

essential services over vast distances. Clearly, hunger is caused essentially by lack of amenities

and extremely low purchase power. This deny most people the ability to access the sufficient and

nutrition amenities. Therefore, hunger can be countered by providing individuals an opportunity

to obtain enough income to enable them to acquire a sustainable lifestyle that at least can be able

to access nutritious food and satisfy their basic needs for tolerable food utilization. In the region

the government has enabled to lower the standards of living. Many countries in the region are

integrating the social protection to meet the needs of the population. Actually, the mode

expenditure has improved the predictable and steady income flows (Vernon, 2007). 
Netherland has integrated an economy activity, which counters the pro-poverty. The pro-poor

initiative is put in place to bridge the gap of poverty. It is assumed that, if the progressive

decrease of the poverty gap is to be realized, investment has to generate a sustainable returns in

the hand of the people as foreseen by the Poverty Gap Transfer, to excruciate them from the

poverty (Obayelu, 2017).  Apparently, this is applicable for the economic growth emanating

from pro-poor investment of vividly identified. For eradication of hunger, more investments has

to be transferred to the rural areas for development. Moreover, Agriculture has to be geared as

one of the economic domains that need constant investments. As a result, the Netherlands and

regional economies are thriving as a result of apprehending this (Van der zee, 1998). Both the

regional and Netherlands’ government has established further areas that are in dire need for

investment. Attainment of zero hunger goal calls for immense reinforcements from various

domains of the economy.

The main objective to invest in the domains is increase the chances of steady and robust

production of food. For instance, the government has actualize the development of the

marginalized space. This has established an array of opportunities for income in rural areas. The

financing of the rural areas has enabled the rural areas to obscure the dependency of urban areas

for services. The government has acquired assets: road networks, electricity and integration of

information and communication technology.in service offering like banking services. More so,

the governments have invested in Agro-processing. For instance, the cereal milling industry, the

government has capitalized in the industry in that the processing process is of low-cost. This

attains the government a leverage on the amount of stock level in the store (Maiga,2010).

Conclusively, Netherlands government on the front line in battle against hunger in the world.

The garnered efforts to counter the hunger effects across the globe are tremendously fruitful. The
government is collaborative at all levels to counter the hunger. Zero hunger policies are almost

integrated in the economy of the states. The benefits that emanate from the campaign are vivid as

the economy of the countries are at the verge of success. The Netherlands government has highly

banked on agriculture as a domain, thus regardless of the collaboration the government has

ensured grater investments to attain the Zero hunger world. The government’s investments re

extending outside the kingdom as well as on both private and public fields.
