Food Shortage? Who Said So?

Food Shortage? Who Said So?

===========================

 

World economy crisis? That's what we see and hear on TV and

newspapers every day.

 

If you follow the eco solution programmed lifestyle, there should be

no fear of food shortage at all.

 

More than 20 years back, our group moved to the Philippines far from

Japan to cooperate for Eco Solution Program. At first, we started to

find wasted vacant land to plant trees and vegetables for survival

reason. Today, several hectares of wasteland have been converted to

produce tons of fruits, vegetables and enough daily crops for poor

natives of rural land under self-supporting program.

 

I remember 60 years ago, when entire Japan was at the peak of food

shortage. We ate any available green leaves such as dried sweet

potato leaves and tops, soft portion of squash leaves and flowers,

any edible grasses in the field, small amount of soybeans, and

desiccated coconut powder imported from Philippines. At least, we

were able to survive and miraculously with healthy condition.

 

We realized today that these vegetables we hate to eat have more

nutrients and healthy properties compared to modern foods we prefer

to eat today. Yes, that's right. We Japanese were able to survive

with splendid brain functions out of sweet potatoes.

 

Thus, let's think on how to escape from food shortage if you are wise

enough to think a simple grass that can grow anywhere in your small

container garden.

 

Sweet potato leaves and tips are abundant especially in developing

countries. Sweet potato has roots that are high in calories and

vitamin A, and the leafy tops are eaten as vegetables. According to

some information I learned, this may be the only plant with iodine,

and that one of its many medicinal properties is its ability to lower

blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

 

To support family income, the root crop of sweet potato can be sold,

and the leaves and tops are for your consumption.

 

How do we preserve leaves and tops (stem) for a year? Just boil

cleaned stems for about three minutes. The color of leaves and stems

turn to strong green. Dry it under the sun. You can preserve it as

long as you want. When preparing it for cooking, soak the dried sweet

potato leaves in water to reconstitute.

 

Now, you can cook it just the same way you cook other vegetables.

That's what we did during the food crisis in 1940s. And we still

maintain the same way of lifestyle. It is a very friendly and healthy

eco solution. You can apply the same method not only to sweet potato

leaves and tops, but also to jute leaves, Moringa leaves, taro roots,

sugar cane and other nutritious leaves and stem products.

 

Then, how come the world complains for the lack of food especially in

some parts of Africa, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and other Latin

American countries? They are just lazy to work, aren't they? Or are

they busy fighting each other just like Filipino people in Southern

Philippines? Goat and chicken are abundantly available if you are not

lazy to take care of them and work. We just wonder why there are

people who complain of food shortage.
