International Tea Day United Nations – ryan

Usually tea drifting

Tea is a drink of Camellia Cenice, which is the most consumed drink in the world after water. It is believed that the consumption of tea began in northeastern India, northern Myanmar and southwestern China, but the place specified for plant growth for the first time is unknown. However, there is evidence that tea started its consumption in China 5,000 years ago.

Tea production and equipment constitutes a main means of living for millions of families in developing countries, and a basic source of livelihood for millions of poor families who live in less developed countries.

The tea industry is a major source of income and export revenues in some poorest countries, and it also provides job opportunities as a thick sector of employment in remote and economically deprived areas in particular. Tea has an important role in rural development, limiting poverty and achieving food security in developing countries as one of the most prominent crops with a critical return.

Drinking tea may have health benefits due to its anti -inflammatory, oxidant and weight -loss benefits. It also has cultural importance in many societies.

From the crop to the cup: honoring women from around the world

This year, International Tea Day highlights women and their role in the tea sector. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the cultural heritage, health benefits and the economic importance of tea, while working to make its production as sustainable “from the crop to the cup” to ensure its continued benefits for people, cultures and the environment for many generations.

World Tea Day

We assure that the international government team invited tea to make more efforts to increase demand, especially in the countries that produce tea, where the per capita consumption is recorded relatively low, as well as supporting efforts to address the lack of consumption of the individual in the importing countries. andDeclare The General Assembly that May 21 is a global day for tea.

This day is intended to enhance collective procedures to implement the supportive activities of tea and its consumption in a sustainable manner, and to be aware of the importance of tea in combating hunger and poverty.

Tea production and sustainable development goals

The production of tea and its preparation contributes to eliminating poverty in all its forms everywhere (target 1), eliminating hunger (target 2), empowering women (target 5) and protecting ecosystems (target 15).

In addition, it is very important to stoke public awareness of the importance of tea in relation to rural development and in sustainable life, which necessarily means improving its value in a way that contributes to achieving the sustainable development plan for 2030.

Tea and climate change

The tea production process is very sensitive to changes in agricultural conditions. Tea can be produced in accurate and specific ecosystems conditions, and therefore the production of tea is limited to specific countries, countries that will be affected by many of them by climate change.

The change in temperature, patterns of rain, increased floods and droughts began to actually affect the crop and the quality of tea production and its prices, causing a decrease in the level of income and threatening to live in the countryside. These climatic changes are expected to increase, which requires urgent adaptation measures. On the other hand, there is an increasing emphasis on the need to contribute to alleviating climate change by reducing carbon emissions resulting from tea production and manufacturing.

The countries producing tea must integrate the challenges of climate change, related to adapting to it and alleviating its severity, in their national strategies to develop tea production.
