Politics and Health have everything to do with Hunger

Brazil is a strange country. The politicization of health looks to 2022 and does not see the people, its voters. The legislators focus on the regulatory agencies, a state organ and want to interfere in ANVISA, they judicialize everything and don't legislate anything, and the judiciary that should judge relevant facts on demand exercise their power interfering in the other two powers of the republic. What a republic! And what does all this have to do with hunger? EVERYTHING!

The people are hungry. 70 million Brazilians queued up at CAIXA to receive the emergency aid. If we consider three people per household, we exceed the Brazilian population. There seems to be something wrong with this system that preserves the privileges of the political class, promotes fiscal resignation by maintaining subsidies to sectors of the economy, and does not renew the emergency aid.

Well, while dozens of parties articulate themselves to maintain an incestuous relationship between the powers that be, the people are hungry, there is a lack of ICU beds, humble people die of asphyxiation for lack of oxygen, and vaccines are lacking, even though there are plenty of resources to buy them.  

2022 starts a year earlier, which means that there is little to look forward to in this biennium. With this warning sign, which is recurrent, it is up to the organized civil society to articulate itself to attend to vulnerable populations and, since there is no way to embrace all social problems at the same time, CWIST made its choice: it brought together two non-profit organizations, the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS) and INMED Partnerships for Children and is calling on society to attend to vulnerable populations in Amazonas by producing food with modern and effective solutions to feed native forest dwellers. We have launched a $2 million challenge that will allow us to provide food through the INMED Aquaponics® system to serve riverbank and indigenous communities with fresh, nutritious food. With their families fed, the natives assisted by FAS will be able to get busy keeping the forest standing.

Let's join our hero Alex Slamaby contributing to this campaign that associates them with two of the most relevant issues of the UN agenda for 2030, ZERO hunger and preservation of the environment. Individuals or companies can voluntarily associate their brands with social inclusion and the fight against deforestation and forest fires. While politics and economy seek to understand each other, we do our part. Join us and be a hero!
