Global Hunger And Poverty

Our world has been struggling with hunger for a while, but why doesn 't anyone put an end to it? There are people who are dying of hunger while we sit down for three big, fat meals each day. And if we don 't finish one of those meals, we just throw them away. We could be saving lives, but instead, we just throw that opportunity away. Do you ever even give starvation a thought? In order to stop world hunger, we need more organizations and food drives to provide food for hungry people.

Previously, the United States created a program called “Feed the Future”, which is helping unlock agriculture 's potential to solve hunger. In 2014, Feed the Future and its partners helped 7 million smallholder farmers get access to improved tools and technologies to improve their income and food quality. It also reached more than 12 million children to improve their nutrition. In 2011, households with children reported a significantly higher food insecurity

As children, we were all told at one time or another, “Finish your dinner. There are starving kids in Africa that would love to have that food.” When we picture the faces of hunger, we tend to think of children in Ethiopia hundreds of miles away. But what about the starving children in America? In the last few decades, hunger has taken on a new face. New names for hunger such as “low food security” have been created to attempt to distance ourselves from the ever growing problem in our own country. It is important that Americans fight low food security in America because modern agriculture places much more strain on the land, low food security has been known to lead to obesity, and there is an increased importance of national aid.

Because of these issues, society should develop better strategies to help these people in need to eliminate the growing poverty level through the world. These strategies could include

Hunger is a serious problem throughout the world, but today I will be focusing on hunger in america. Just for reference, I don’t mean the time between breakfast and lunch. I mean people who don 't know where their next meal is coming from, or are starving. I will be delving into the problems that exist, systems set up to help people do, and what an average person can do.

Hunger in America Hunger is a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by a lack of food. Many use the phrase “I’m hungry” or “I’m starving” to tell how hungry they are. Many would be willing to bet that they have no food in their homes, but when they look at what others have, their minds change. In America, we have many amenities such as running water, and electricity.

Poverty is so deep that 15 millions people in Ethiopia have no food security, 6 million live on foreign food aid and millions of families cannot eat 3 meals a day. The amount of Ethiopian children who are undernourished is 29.00%. Whereas in Australia 15% of children are undernourished. These children suffer starvation and malnutrition regularly by not having a healthy diet of 3 appropriate meals a day due to the lack of money and the unavailability of food and clean water. Malnutrition is detrimental to the health and development of children.

In the world today, we face many problems. One of the most important problems we need to find a cure for is hunger. I think i have a solution to end this distatutouse problem. If we don 't try to end hunger in third world countries, then we will all go hungry very soon. All 's it takes is fixing poverty, fertility, using earths full potential, and giving out food rations, to end hunger.

According to the WTN Global Challenges Program Hunger Initiative, 578 million people in Asia and the Pacific , 239 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, 53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, 37 million in the Near East and North Africa, and 19 million in developed countries are affected by hunger. That equates to about one in every ten people being affected by hunger. According to Dr. Lindsey Shirley, the author of “A Practical Problem Approach to World Hunger: Universities Fighting World Hunger,” since the second half of the 1900s, there has been an increase of about 4 million people per year who do not have enough to eat. These numbers should not be increasing every year, and there should be a solution to stop it (Shirley

Child Hunger in America Anna Quindlen, author of “School’s Out For Summer”, noticed there was a problem of child hunger in America. “If there was, we would know about it. We would read about it in the paper, we would see it on the news. And of course we would stop it. In America.”

World hunger is a major problem going on in the world. It is happening all over the world it isn 't just happening in one place. The people that are going through world hunger can not help it. A big part of it is that they can not afford food or it is that they are living in a really poor part of the world where there are not any resources of food.

According to Northoff (2007), nutrition is critical for a healthy and active life, but many people around the world still have no access to sufficient and nutritious food because of poverty and lack of nutrition education. Moreover, Riddle (2005) stresses that nutrition education is a key for developing the skills and motivation needed to eat well, and is especially important in situations where families have limited resources. The benefits of nutrition education and counselling can directly influence nutritional status, consequently, helping in attaining the millennium development goal (MDG) to reduce the prevalence of hunger and malnutrition (Garcia, 2008). In a recent preliminary study conducted by ENDESA in 2007, the way in which the mother’s educational level influenced malnutrition was observed. Statistics reveal that 15.4 percent of children of mothers with no education suffered from chronic malnutrition, while 9.4 percent and 4.7 percent in children of mothers with secondary or higher education levels respectively (Acevedo & Menendez, 2006).

Food security is one of the greatest problems faced the world. There is fact said that food is enough for everyone in the world but because of the great changes which happened rapidly in the world the rate of food become less than before and it is difficult to secure it. Food security is very important to ensure that everyone has enough to eat and families can build their communities without worrying about securing their live. To meet global needs, food production must be doubled in the next years in order to solve many issues such as: starvation, malnutrition and associated health. According to The World Food Summit of 1996 defined food security as existing “when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Hunger is still a major concern in health issues. Hunger causes malnutrition, malnutrition and others. Famine kills more people than TB, HIV / AIDS and Malaria. A quarter of children born in developing countries are underweight.

The right to food is a human right. It is universal, acknowledged at the national, regional and international level, and applies to every person and group of persons. Currently, however, some 852 million persons throughout the world are seriously – and permanently undernourished, 815 million of whom are in developing countries, 28 million in countries in transition and 9 million in developed (―industrialized‖) countries. Furthermore, every five seconds, a child under ten years of age dies of hunger or malnutrition1 – more than 5 million per year.
