This startling photograph is acknowledged as one of the most horrifying photograph shot ever since the camera was invented.
Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die.
This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The location is Sudan. Nobody knows what happened to the child. But. Kevin Carter broke down mentaly after taking this picture and ultimately committed suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was recovered after his death :
QUOTE
Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted."

Each one of us waste food just because we can afford to waste food. Despite all the technological advances made by man, it has not been possible to eliminate hunger. Hunger is not only caused by famine or failure of crops. It is also caused by war both internecine and external agressíon.
As we believe we have role to offer sustanable methods of farming that is ideal to all locations be it urban,flooded areas and deserts.I thank VIA water because of their pilot funds,I have discovered more insights on better hydroponics system like vertical hydroponics which according to our nest community post we can feed the the cities.
Can we, after seeing this photograph take a pledge not to waste food ?
Can we educate our children not to waste food ?
