PERFORMANCE OF CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.) CULTIVARS FOR GREEN LEAF PRODUCTION IN LAMAHI, DANG

Food security is a pressing global concern, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that everyone has access to safe and nutritious food, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The uneven distribution and high wastage of food are primary factors contributing to food insecurity. It has been estimated that food production worldwide must increase by 60% by 2050 to feed the growing global population and achieve zero hunger. Despite numerous efforts to address food insecurity, the current food security system does not adequately address the dietary needs of Muslims, known as Halal. The Halal market is growing worldwide, even among non-Muslims, due to its emphasis on high quality and health standards. The Halal concept, which means “permissible” or “acceptable,” extends beyond food and beverages to all aspects of life. In terms of food and beverages, the Halal concept ensures that products are sourced from permissible origins, guaranteeing the purity and quality of the products. It also promotes the consumption of nutritious and beneficial foods. The Halal ecosystem fosters a sustainable work environment, conserving natural resources for future generations. The adoption of the Halal concept throughout the value chain could contribute significantly to eradicating poverty and achieving zero hunger. This includes reducing wastage, which currently accounts for one-third of global edible food raw materials produced. By prioritizing Halal practices, the food industry can move closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and creating a more equitable and sustainable food system for all.
