Introduction
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2 or Global Goal 2) refers to Zero Hunger, seek sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. The aim is to ensure that everyone everywhere has enough good-quality food to lead a healthy life. Achieving this Goal will require better access to food and the widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture. This entails improving the productivity and incomes of small-scale farmers by promoting equal access to land, technology and markets, sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices. It also requires increased investments through international cooperation to bolster the productive capacity of agriculture in developing countries.
The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people–especially children–have sufficient and nutritious food all year. This involves promoting sustainable agricultural, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land, technology and markets. It also requires international cooperation to ensure investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural productivity.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the largest contributors to programs for eradicating hunger. The Kingdom’s efforts center around achieving food security both internally and beyond its borders, in addition to striving for the Kingdom’s agricultural sector to contribute a larger percentage of its GDP, thereby aiding economic development, and diversifying the Kingdom’s agricultural base.Â
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s initiatives for eradicating hunger:
Gaudi Grains Organization (SAGO)’s initiative to reduce food loss and waste in the Kingdom and to prevent improper use of natural resources.
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture’s initiative to eradicate the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferruginous) and combat its spread the world over.
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture’s initiatives to provide comprehensive and sustainable food security by:
Terracing and rehabilitation of agricultural lands, instating water harvesting technology in Al Taif, Al Bahah, Asir, and Jazan provinces.
Reducing per capita retail and consumer food waste by half, and reducing food losses in the production and supply phases, including post-harvest losses.
To develop and improve the efficiency of the agricultural market and to adopt measures to ensure the safe and timely delivery of commodities and their derivatives and to strengthen food reserves to reduce their volatility.
Activating the role of international partnerships, based on the awareness of the ecological and geographic nature and the creation of optimal sources for food supply, the Kingdom has directed foreign agricultural investment through strategic partnerships with other countries and in a way that achieves the benefit of all local authorities and societies.
Saudi Food Bank (Eta’am), which has provided more than 12 million meals since its inception.
Executing over 300 food security projects, resulting in millions fed through the efforts of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre.
The historic contribution of USD 500 million to the World Food Program in 2008.
IMAMU University has always been interested in food security issues and it always strives to improve its contribution to the agricultural sector, thus helping to face the obstacles and challenges and to create sustainable solutions.
To this end, the University has an aim is to work together in various fields such as vocational training and scientific research, joint activities for the public interest, and seminars and workshops addressed to students.
In this unit:
Provide the child with the teachings of the true religion through the behavior followed when preparing and eating food by practicing Islamic literature.
Participate in the preparation of different types of foods.
Practice methods of prevention of electrical machines and sharp machines, which pose a danger to children and cause harm to them when preparing food.
Identify some types of foods in terms of color, shape, texture, smell and taste.
Identify with the help of the teacher some methods of preparing diverse food.
Development of the child's vocabulary and linguistic expression in the subjects of food and nutrition.
The child makes matches in the taste of foods and collects each item separately.
Identify healthy habits in food.
The kindergarten administration did a healthy food day in the garden of the outer building and put many guidance and educational boards that show the child healthy and unhealthy food and explain how to differentiate between them as the dining tables were decorated with the participation of the mothers of the children in beautiful and creative ways to endear the child with a healthy meal.
As for the teachers of the classes, they did many entertaining activities for children, including:
The activity of sorting healthy food in one basket for unhealthy food in another basket.
Participate with children in the work of healthy juice.
Urging children to eat healthy because of the impact on their health and the safety of their teeth.
We thank everyone for their participation and constructive interaction.
There is little scientific evidence to prove that organic foods are better in quality than traditional foodstuffs, and the scientific research conducted so far on various organic foods has not been able to provide strong evidence about the superiority of organic foods over inorganic foods.
Organic milk
Recent research conducted on organic milk has shown that it has more antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and vitamins than inorganic milk. According to researchers at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Research at the University of Aberdeen and the Institute for Environmental and Grassland Research, organic milk is healthier than inorganic milk, since organic cows are grazing pastures leading to better quality of milk.
Organic tomatoes
According to a 10-year study by the University of California, Davis, organic tomatoes are produced in an environment that contains a low nutrient supply since nitrogen-rich chemical fertilizers are not added.
This leads to excessive formation of antioxidants, such as quercetin (top 79%) and caimferol (top 97%) in organic tomatoes. As I know we are all, antioxidants are good for health and help reduce heart disease and the chances of developing cancer (mRS).
The Department of Chemistry announces to its students a visit to the Food and Drug Authority on Tuesday, 1/2/1438 AH, those wishing to participate should quickly register their names with the Secretary of the Department, Mr. Khalid Al-Aswad, noting that this visit is the first for the Department this year, and comes within the programs of the Department to achieve the goal of its communication and communication of its students with the relevant community institutions.

In the name of God the most Merciful, the most Compassionate
( Food from a Qur'anic Perspective )
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the most honorable prophets and missionaries, but after:
Allah the Almighty created man and succeeded him in the earth, and provided him with ways and means to help him carry out the rights of slavery and the duties of improvisation, and made him the good things of livelihood, through which he recognizes God's blessings and gifts, and is able to enjoy and be kind besides providing the nutrients that his body needs, the Almighty said: "Say from the sanctuary of the decorations of God that were brought out to his servants and the good women from the livelihood, say they are for those who have believed in the pure life of the world on the day of judgment as well as we separate the verses for the people They know} al-A'raf 32, and Subhanah said: {And in the earth adjacent pieces and cheeks of grapes, plantings, palms of pine and non-pine are watered with one water and we prefer each other to eat if this is for the verses of people who are reasonable} Thunder 4, and the verses of the Holy Qur'an have included the mention of many good foods that are characterized by containing the nutrients necessary for the growth, maintenance and prevention of diseases of the body, and not only mention these foods, but also extend it to the section Some of them, which is a clear indication of the importance of these foods and their nutritional and health benefit, otherwise Allah the Almighty did not swear by them, the great does not swear except by what is great, the Almighty said: {The figs and olives} figs 1 The Holy Qur'an also made food a place for consideration, reflection and realization of reason, and considered it a verse of Allah indicating its existence and oneness, through meditation on the stages of food formation and formation, starting with the descent of water from heaven Then the earth cracked and the plant came out, and ended with the formation of fruits in different shapes and colors, and he said: "Let man look at his food, I poured water into a pour, and then we flattened the earth with a crack, and you sprinkled us in it with love, grapes and rods, olives and palms, gardens of Galba, fruit and father, as a pleasure for you and your people." Abs 24,32, as the Holy Qur'an has devoted a wide area of its fragrant breadth to talk about food, starting from its planting and germination, its types and forms, and ending with its rulings. The Holy Qur'an draws our attention to the fact that any food is not just organic and inorganic substances that man eats to live and survive, as some imagine, but is the furthest and greatest of all, because he, like any other vocabulary of our economic, political, social or educational life, is linked to the faith of man, part of his culture, a landmark of his civilization and a feature of his identity. His survival and preservation of his identity and culture, Allah prayed, delivered and blessed our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions.
