I began in 2014 as a casual reader of Wikipedia, making occasional minor edits as an IP user. My first registered edit that I'm aware of was made in in June 2016. My addiction grew, and in December 2015 I finally decided I wanted to give something to the community and start making more substantial contributions, and since May 2016 I've been here almost daily
My philosophy as a Wikipedian is pretty straightforward. I try to make it fun and avoid disputes. I am a lot attracted and involved in technical things out here. In general I enjoy improving existing ones. I love sciences and big cities/countries, and tend to focus my editing on these topics. Content creation is important to me, but the bulk of my 6,000+ edits are owed to fighting vandalism, doing technical things and making this page! It keeps me engaged and I get some rewarding feeling. As of late I've also been busy working on scripts and various templates.

As a active vandalism fighter and a responsible Wikipedia user I'm heavily involved with maintenance and sustainability of the project. As always I spend much time in preventing abuse of the wiki, but I try to help out anyone who is looking for help.

I have a lot of faith in new users. Technical mistakes are simple and you should help them, as Wikipedia isn't incredibly user-friendly. On a more social level, it's crucial to give newcomers a good impression of the community. In my early days I was accused of sockpuppetry. Fortunately I was resilient. I believed in Wikipedia and did not want to give up. I feel like many users would have been scared off and abandoned the project altogether. The experience shaped the Wikipedian that I am today. It taught me how important it is to be careful with new users, and always assume good faith. It makes me wonder how many other would-be long-lasting contributors we must have lost.....

Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering and agriculture. Today, the majority of the food energy required by the ever increasing population of the world is supplied by the food industry. Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply, and access to food.
