Introduction
Food sustainability corresponds to sensible development that can fulfill the needs of the
present population while keeping under consideration that it does not negatively affect the
possibility for future generation’s capability towards their own needs (Morawicki & Díaz,

along with their nutritional requirements. Factors determining food sustainability are agricultural
land, irrigation water, kind of fertilizer, climatic conditions, and power requirements.
Imbalance of nutrient source
The population explosion and poor food quality along with a shortage of food in most
parts of the world have resulted in a paradox of obesity and hunger, wastage of food and lots of
food. As per the report published in (World Helath Organization, 2018), the world
population falling under the obese category has been approximately tripled since 1975. Till the
year 2016, approximately 1.9 billion people that is close to 27% of the total world population
came under the category of overweight out of which 650 million considered obese. In case of
children who are considered future of the planet close to 40 million under age category 5 years
were obese till 2018, and in the age group of 5-19 more than 340 million were under the
category of overweight or obese till the year of 2016 (World Helath Organization, 2018),
(Schneeberger, 2019).
