【讓每個臺灣人吃得飽當成國家生日的願望】
今年的諾貝爾和平獎,由聯合國世界糧食計劃署(WFP)獲得殊榮。WFP的獲獎,讓我輩從事農業工作的人與有榮焉,因為農業工作最主要的目標之一,就是要解決糧食不足、分配不均、飢餓等問題。根據FAO資料,全球至少有10億以上人口是在挨餓的情形,這也是全球所有從事農業工作者要解決的問題重點。
回到國內,解決飢餓問題、讓每個人都有飯吃,是臺灣農業部門一直以來持續的工作。從2002年開始,在不影響國內糧食安全的前提下,我們已經援助超過40個國家,18年來不中斷,今年也計畫援助友邦16國3.6萬噸白米,大聲向國際社會傳達「Taiwan can help」的訊息。
國內我們也持續透過食物銀行提供弱勢白米、蔬菜、水果、漁產、畜產等,每年至少有66萬人受惠;開辦綠色照顧站,推動「綠飲食」、「綠療育」及「綠照顧」,讓農村長輩能透過送餐、共食等活動保持健康活力。校園營養午餐,我們針對非山非市及偏遠地區的學校加碼補助,努力讓孩子們都能吃得平等;我們未來還會結合國內3千多個農村社區,來提供這些社區民眾免於挨餓的權利。
上述這些政策,都是要達成一個最重要的目標,就是要讓所有人都有免於挨餓的權利。因此從農業生產到產銷通路的分配都要全部到位,未來我們不只會持續來做,而且會加大力道,全力執行,讓每一位國人都能不因社經條件不同而有尊嚴的生存。

[The Star] H2O Plus chooses its ambassadors Aric 何志健 Priscilla黄翠如

A skincare brand brings two Asian television personalities together for a mission.
IF you think picking a brand ambassador is an easy task, think again. Not only must the person be appealing to the brand’s audience, he or she must have a genuine affinity for the product and be able to channel the qualities of the brand.
American skincare brand H2O Plus chose not one, but two ambassadors, Malaysian singer and actor, Aric Ho, and Hong Kong actress, Priscilla Wong Tsui Yu to be the face of its new campaigns.
Founded in 1989 by Cindy Melk and developed based on the water concept of sea science, the brand is distributed by Luxor Beauty World Sdn Bhd in Malaysia and Brunei.
Being a global brand in the science of marine skincare whereby the ocean is the brand’s main source of active ingredients, H2O Plus is committed to fulfilling the company’s corporate vision.
It embarked on a Marine Conservation Programme for the Save Our Water Planet programme last month by collaborating with Hume Cement Sdn Bhd to build an artificial reef in Pulau Soyak, off Pulau Tioman in Pahang. The objective was to help sustain the growth of reefs so as to enhance the biodiversity and sustainability of our underwater eco-system for the long term existence of marine and coral lives.
“Aric, who is also an underwater photographer and diver, was with us during our recent dive in Pulau Soyak to help us build the underwater reef. It was tough work, installing reinforced concrete blocks weighing 70kg each onto the sea bed!” Wong Meng Choy, CEO of Luxor, pointed out.
“During this dive, Aric also managed to film a whale shark which is a rare treat as some divers can dive for many years and not see one,” he said, adding that Ho has been working with the brand for the last three years.
Ho has just launched a new album and is preparing for the next one. He was introduced to H2O Plus when he was working in Taiwan and Hong Kong a few years ago.
“Men hardly use skincare products but I think it is important that we learn to groom ourselves. With my work schedule I only get three to four hours of sleep a night so hydration is very important for my skin,” he said.
Wong, who has hosted more than eight programmes and acted in more than five drama series, is no stranger to Malaysia as she regularly visits her good friends here.
“I’m passionate about the deep sea and everything connected to marine life. I’ve been using H2O Plus products since I was a schoolgirl,” said Priscilla, who counts black pepper crab, roasted pork and bak kut teh among her favourite Malaysian food.
She has just finished filming a drama set to be released next year and will be hosting a travel programme that will take her around the world as well. As a TV personality, Priscilla has to use make-up all day and she finds the Face Oasis a good oil-free marine hydration skincare that helps to hydrate and smoothen her skin.
“Besides being a travel programme host, Priscilla is an up-and-coming TVB actress. She’s easy to work with, and has abstained from consuming shark’s fin since becoming our ambassadress,” says Wong.
It seems Ho is hopeful for Priscilla to get her diving licence soon so that they can dive together to help with the brand’s marine conservation work!
