This video explains why we should be worried about climate change vis-a-vis nutritional security. Climate change could actually make our food less nutritious.
As a takeaway from our summer camp, E-camp Extravaganza, we recommend four enlightening videos for you to watch. The first video explores the fascinating link between food and the environment, highlighting how our eating habits impact the planet. The second video discusses the future of food, revealing how climate change can lead to nutrition deficiencies. The third is an engaging explainer on fish mint, a unique medicinal herb that tastes like fish and offers numerous health benefits. Lastly, the fourth video alerts viewers to the harmful ingredients and ill-effects of junk food, particularly instant noodles, emphasizing the need for healthier choices. Enjoy learning!

बॉन कान्फ्रेंस 2017 की बात है। एलायंस आॅफ स्मॉल आईलैंड स्टेट्स (एओसिस) से जुड़े एक देश के बड़े नेता फूट-फूटकर रो रहे थे। एओसिस मतलब छोटे समुद्र द्वीपीय देशों का समूह। आसानी से समझने के लिए मालदीव जैसे देशों का समूह कहा जा सकता है। वहां विकसित और विकासशील देशों के प्रतिनिधियों के बीच बहस छिड़ी हुई थी। यूरोपीय समूह और अमेरिका जैसे देशों के प्रतिनिधियों का दबाव था कि चीन और भारत जैसे देश अपनी जिम्मेदारी समझें जो बहुत ज्यादा कार्बन का उत्सर्जन कर रहे हैं। दूसरी तरफ भारत-चीन जैसे देशों के कूटनीतिज्ञ विकसित मुल्कों को अपनी ऐतिहासिक जिम्मेदारी याद दिला रहे थे।...
